The First “Birds”• Archaeopteryx , 150 million years ago
http://www.anthro.psu.edu/shipman.htmlShipman, P. Taking Wing; Archaeopteryx and the Evolution of Bird Flight.Simon & Schuster, NY, New York.
Considered by many to be the first bird
Forms a link between reptiles and birds
“Although it is currently thought that Archaeopteryx could sustain powered flight, it was probably not a strong flier; it may well have ran, leaped, glided, and flapped all in the same day.”http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/diapsids/birds/archaeopteryx.html

Birds and Insects• Flapping flight is probably the most efficient way
to fly at very small sizes• The aerodynamics of insects (eg mosquitoes,
bees, dragonflies, ...) is quite complex since it is at relatively low Reynolds numbers
• Many birds have moderate Reynolds numbers (~100K), and can be predicted using fairly traditional unsteady aerodynamics

Greek Myth• ~3000 years ago• Daedalus and his son
Icarus• Imprisoned on island
of Crete• Built wings using wax• Icarus flew too close to
sun and fell to death

Flapping Flight• All early interest in manned flight
involved mimicking (now called biomimetics) bird flight. Flapping devices are called ornithopters
• Many disastrous results with men trying to fly
• Leonardo da Vinci was fascinated by flight (35,000 words and 500 sketches)
• But da Vinci never really made any important aeronautical contributions

Balloons• Nov. 21, 1783 hot air
balloon carrying de Rozier and d’Arlandestravels 5 miles across Paris
• First human flight• Charles had a
hydrogen-filed balloon in 1783 also
• These triggered public’s interest in flight

Sir George Cayley(inventor of airplane)
• Born Scarborough, England• Dec. 27,1773—Dec. 15,1857• 1799 design• Fixed wing for lift, surfaces for
propulsion, and other surfaces for control
• Realized flapping would not work
• 3 papers 1809-1810 “On Aerial Navigation”
• Surface at angle of attack would produce lift
• Flew full-sized gliders

Airplane breaks apart, Dec. 8, 1903
Nine days later on December 17th, Wilbur and Orville Wright succeeded where so many other had failed.
Samuel Langley never recovered from his failure; he died demoralized on February 28th 1906.
NASA Langley named after him

Wright Brothers• Great aeronautical engineers• Learned from people before them• Niether graduated from high school• Wilbur was born in Millville, Indiana and Orville was born
in Dayton, Ohio• Father was a bishop in United Brethren Church• Mother was well educated and very mechanical• Started a bicycle sales and repair business in 1892 in
Dayton• In 1895 they were making their own bicycles• The publicity of Lilienthal’s death renewed their interest
in aeronautics, they had followed his work closely
![Page 34: The First Aeronautical Engineers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/586b7e091a28ab063d8c0eb7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Wright Brothers• Wilbur studied bird flight, and learned about wing twist
there, which is similar in effect to ailerons• By 1899 they were both reading all they could (e.g.
Lilienthal, Chanute, ...), and getting info from Smithsonian
• They corresponded with Chanute• Kitty Hawk was chosen through their discussions with
the U.S. Weather Bureau• They had a glider by Sept. 1900• They followed closely Langley’s attempts at flight• Langley did not take the Wright brothers serioulsy

Wright Brothers• There was not a lot of press regarding the 1903 flight• There was some in 1904• They kept their design fairly secret until patents were
granted and the Army decided to buy some of their aircraft (in 1908)
• They had a huge display and flight in Europe in 1908• Louis Bleriot explaimed it was a new era• Wilbur made 104 flights in Europe in 1908• A crash by Orville in 1908 killed his passenger and
injured him• Recent studies on the Wright propeller showed it had up
to 84% efficiency

Glenn Curtiss• Wright brothers thought Curtiss stole their technology
(filed suit in 1909), Curtiss lost and had to pay royalties in 1914
• Wright brothers chose not to participate in Scientific American contest (they could have won)
• Curtiss worked closely with Alexander Graham Bell and the Aerial Experiment Association (AEA)
• The Wright’s sold their company in 1915• In 1929 the Wright company was merged into the
Curtiss-Wright Corporation, which produced the P-40 dring WWII. Closed in 1948.

Curtiss Jenny (1914 – 1927)
Curtiss Jenny. Model T of the skies. The Jenny was the first aircraft purchased in quantity by the American military, and consequently was the first mass-produced American aircraft. Used to train over ninety percent of American pilots during WW I, it played a key role at the beginning of what would become the most powerful air force on Earth. ( http://www.airventuremuseum.org/ )

Propulsion• Manned flight had to wait for engines with proper
Hp/weight ratios• By 1865 Lenoir had 400 engines in Paris• 1867 Otto and Langen developed 4-cycle engine
in Germany• Daimler and Benz also developed 4-cycle
engines in Germany• The Wright brothers designed and built engine in
1903 was crucial to their success• By 1945 there were 2200 Hp engines and
aircraft were going 500 MPH
