History of Aviation

For starters, you can't ride the Hindenburg because it does not exist anymore.

The zeppelin exploded in May of 1937.

As to how much it cost back then, you had to be well placed in society to afford a ticket, i.e. politician, high-class business mogul, etc. Pretty much, you needed to be a celebrity to even think of being able to ride the Hindenburg.

Here is a direct quote from Wikipedia:

"The cost of a ticket between Germany and Lakehurst was US$400 (about US$6,300 in 2010 dollars), a considerable sum in the Depression era. Hindenburg passengers were generally affluent, including many public figures, entertainers, noted sportsmen, political figures, and leaders of industry."

The steamboat was invented about a hundred years before the aircraft.

The brothers began their experimentation in flight in 1896 at their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio. They selected the beach at Kitty Hawk as their proving ground because of the constant wind that added lift to their craft. In 1901 they came to the beach with their glider and made more than 700 successful flights.

since the explosion of the Hindenburg everybody thought airships were death traps so they stopped using the Graf Zeppelin and all other air ships.

Like any aircraft, a biplane flies at the altitude it's pilot wishes too. There is no real average.

The Red Baron, a.k.a. Manfred Von Richthoven was WWI's top ace with 80 confirmed kills on Allied aircraft. He was shot down while behind the controls of his trademark red Fokker Triplane, although accounts vary as to who actually shot him down.

William "Snowy" Evans is believed by some to have killed the Red Baron, but he was not a pilot. He was an Australian gunner in the same machine gun battalion as Sergeant Popkin who also has his supporters as killer of the Red Baron. In Canada, fighter pilot Roy Brown is still believed to have fired the fatal shot, although it is generally agreed that the Red Baron was killed by ground fire.

He was hit by a single bullet in a dog fight over France on April 21 1918. He was able to land the plane before expiring from internal bleeding.

Lindbergh started flying in 1922.

He broke the sound barrier October 14, 1947.

1903

The Wrights didn't invent the first airplane. -They built and flew the first powered, controllable aircraft. -Many men had built different aircraft before them, but none were successful at long, controlled flight.

Their first airplane was a glider and was similar to the famous "Flyer I" which is the first powered airplane. It was made out of wood and cloth. The evelators were located in the front of the aircraft and two propellers were fitted in the back. It was a biplane, so it had two superimposed wings. The pilot would lie down on his belly on the inferior wing.

Amelia never had anything to do with the Bermuda Triangle.

The Wright Flyer I was the first powered airplane. It was made out of spruce, a strong but lightweight wood.

Both of the Wrights flew their first successful powered flights in 1903.

The U.S. states of Ohio and North Carolina both take credit for the Wright brothers and their world-changing inventions-Ohio because the brothers developed and built their design in Dayton, and North Carolina because Kitty Hawk was the site of the Wrights' first powered flight. I although give nobody but the wright brothers credit for it.

chickern thief

jean batten is famous because she was the first person to fly a plane from England to new zealand

The first woman to fly a plane solo!!!!!!!!!

So in your face whoever put flying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That depends on what you define an "Airplane" to be. The first man made flying machines of any type were manned kites(c.200~100 BC, China), hang gliders (c.200~100BC, China) and balloons (c.181 AD, China), the first fixed wing type heavier than air machine ranged in wingspan as well as weight. The first of these was noted in 500 BC China, but no description is given; most believe it was a small hang glider design. The first known and documented flying machine was made by John Stringfellow and was a 10 foot (wingspan) steam powered flying machine.

They owned a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio named Wright Cycle Co.
A cycle.company

To fly from one place to another.
the purpose was to create a faster way of travel than sailing and using hot air balloons because hot air balloons would only move with wind planes have engines for direction and speed.

the first true naval aircraft in sight of the aircraft carrier operations would be the sopwith pup, used by the royal navy in aircraft carrier testing.

in terms of the first catapult aircraft, it would be USS North Carolina during the great war. it was the first official successful ship-bound launch.

try typing it into Google, that might help. don't be lazy

New Zealand aviator, Richard Pearse on 31 March 1903

Craig Breedlove became the 1st person to break the sound barrier in an automobile in 1998. At Lake Bonneville, Utah, he achieved a trap speed of over 760 MPH.

Unable to improve, it's completely wrong. 15/10/1997 Thrust SSC, LSR av speed 763 MPH. Breedloves speed was unconfirmed and even if reported correctly here is 2 MPH slower.

This all happened at Black Rock Desert in Nevada. Bonneville has taken a back seat to the new speed site in Nevada.

The Hindenburg was 804 feet long and could go as fast as 84 miles per hour. It was originally designed to only use helium gas but on the day of the disaster, it was filled with hydrogen which is highly flammable. it exploded in flames as it was trying to land in Lakehurst, NJ on May 6, 1937.
