When was the first propeller plane made?

Answer 1

There are no operational scramjets in existence as yet. Scramjet engines have been tested but the problems associated with producing an operational scramjet have proven to be beyond technological capabilities to date. See the Wikipedia link below for additional information.

Answer 2

The first aircraft to incorporate the principles of the jet engine was the Coanda-1910, piloted by its Romanian inventor Henri Coandă in 1910. Its engine, unlike modern jet engines, used a piston engine rather than a turbine to drive its compressor. The aircraft crashed during its first and only demonstration but remained intact. The first true turbine-equipped jetplane was the Heinkel He 178 (Germany), piloted by Erich Warsitz on August 27, 1939.

Answer 3

Leonardo da vinci certainly drew a conceptional parachute, but possibly the first demonstration was performed by Veranzio in 1617, but these early reports lack confirmation. The modern parachute dates to 1782 0r 3, used by Lenormand in France.

In 1782, the brothers Montgolfier, who were paper makers, successfully flew a hot air balloon. So that is probably the first successful 'heavier than air' machine.

And in the first decade of the 20th century we have the Wright brothers with their extensive model testing at Kittyhawk, giving them the data for successful flight.

Kites were known to the Chinese some 2800 years ago, and a modern variant the Kytoon is worth a search in your favourite search engine.

As is usual in areas of contention, the verdicts given by the International Aviation Federation (FAI), are worth a look for historical agreement.

Answer 4

are warships that evolved from balloon-carrying wooden vessels into nuclear powered vessels carrying dozens of fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Since their introduction they have allowed naval forces to project air power great distances without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft operations.

Balloon carriers were the first ships to deploy manned aircraft, used during the 19th and early 20th century, mainly for observation purposes. The advent of fixed wing aircraft in 1903 was followed in 1910 by the first flight from the deck of a US Navy cruiser. Seaplanes and seaplane tender support ships, such as HMS Engadine, followed. The development of flat top vessels produced the first large fleet ships. This evolution was well underway by the mid 1920s, resulting in ships such asHMS Hermes (1924),[1] Hōshō, and the Lexington-class aircraft carriers.

Most early aircraft carriers were conversions of ships that were laid down (or had even served) as different ship types: cargo ships, cruisers, battlecruisers, or battleships. During the 1920's, several navies started ordering and building aircraft carriers that were specifically designed as such. This allowed the design to be specialized to their future role, and resulted in superior ships. During the Second World War, these ships would become the backbone of the carrier forces of the US, British, and Japanese navies, known as fleet carriers.

World War II saw the first large-scale use of aircraft carriers and induced further refinement of their design, leading to several variants. Escort carriers, such as USS Bogue, were built as a stop-gap measure to provide air support for convoys and amphibious invasions. Subsequent Light aircraft carriers, such as USS Independence, represented a larger, more "militarized" version of the escort carrier concept. Although the light carriers usually carried the same size air groups as escort carriers, they had the advantage of higher speed as they had been converted from cruisers under construction

Answer 5

The first airplane with an engine was built by the Wright Brothers in 1901. It had a petrol engine and flied a distance of 1200 metres.

Answer 6

The Wright Brothers flew the first successful airplane in December 17, 1903. It was a propeller driven plane.

Answer 7
