wat is aeronautics ?

AERONAUTICS is a greek word AERO means sky or space and NAUTICS meaning sailor. is the science involved with the study, design, and manufacture of flight-capable machines, or the techniques of operating aircrafts. The first mention of aeronautics in history was in the writings of ancient Egyptians who described the flight of birds. It also finds mention in ancient China where people were flying kites thousands of years ago.In a Greek legend, Icarus and his father Daedalus
built wings of feathers and wax and flew out of a prison. Icarus flew too close to the sun, the wax melted, and he fell in the sea and drowned.When people started to scientifically study how to fly, people began to understand the basics of air and aerodynamics.then we had Ibn Firnas who started working on flight dynamics and movements. then so much interestingly was Leonardo Da Vinci s studies. He began to study the flight of birds. He grasped that humans are too heavy, and not strong enough, to fly using wings simply attached to the arms. Therefore he proposed a device in which the aviator lies down on a plank and works two large, membranous wings using hand levers, foot pedals, and a system of pulleys. This time line had many more stalwarts who spent on this... later by 1903 december 17th the new era of aviation started with the advent of wright brothers. and now aviation made every realm of life easy.

cheers to aviation....


Earlier flying was jus a fictional inscriptions in books. But today it was made true with the advent of many pioneers who turned away our life to a different pace. For sure life became easy with aviation.Applaud to all the scientists who are behind this time line of aviation history..... Right from Wright brothers to today scientists all constitute the golen era of aviation. This blog is dedicated to all the scientists who spent their lives in these establishments and sophistications.
