Quick Write Why do you think the idea of flight is so appealing to people? Does it appeal to you? Why? (Note to Instructor: Use “Pick a Student” button in CPS) Chapter 1, Lesson 1

How Humans Tried to Fly in Ancient Times Chapter 1, Lesson 1 Courtesy of AKG Images

Flight in Ancient Times Humans have dreamed of taking flight for thousands of years Flight is the act of passing through the air on wings People told tales about flight around the fire at night and handed down these stories to their children Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Daedalus and Icarus One of the best known is the Greek story of Daedalus and his son, Icarus Chapter 1, Lesson 1 Courtesy of the Granger Collection, New York

First True Stories of Human Attempts to Fly Some early inventors made devices of lightweight material in imitation of birds’ or bats’ wings They strapped the devices onto their arms or legs, and then they would jump from the top of a tower Unfortunately, none of the devices succeeded Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Armen Firman A Moor named Armen Firman made the first known human attempt to fly He put on a huge cloak and jumped from a tower in Cordoba, Spain He hoped the cloak would open wide like a bat’s wings to slow him on the way down But it didn’t, and Firman fell to his death

Armen Firman His unfortunate experiment might be described as an early attempt at a jump by parachute A parachute is a device intended to slow free fall from an aircraft or another high point Chapter 1, Lesson 1 Courtesy of Clipart.com

Chinese Kites A lot of ancient scientific progress took place in China. The Chinese invented the kite around 1000 BC A kite is a light framework covered with paper or cloth, provided with a balancing tail, designed to be flown in the air Within a few hundred years, people were using kites in warfare to spy on enemies. Around AD 1300 an explorer, Marco Polo saw Chinese sailors attached t kites as “eyes in the sky” observing enemy actions Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Chinese Gunpowder In the 800s AD, the Chinese made another important invention: gunpowder Gunpowder is an explosive powder made of potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur, used to shoot projectiles from guns 200 years later, the Chinese used gunpowder to make the first simple rockets Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Chinese Rockets A rocket is a large, cylindrical object that moves very fast by forcing burning gases out one end of the tube The Chinese used these devices mostly for celebrations, such as holiday fireworks But they also used their rockets in battle to scare off the enemy Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Chinese Rockets and Man in the Moon Chinese rockets were the basis for a legend about a rocket trip into space A legend is an unverified story handed down from earlier times Wan Hoo fastened 47 rockets to a chair in hopes to going to the moon The attempt did not work. He went up in a ball of fire and the legend suggests he became the Man in the Moon. Chapter 1, Lesson 1 Courtesy of NASA Marshall Space Flight Center

Leonardo Da Vinci The first person in the history of aviation who was also a real scientist was Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) Chapter 1, Lesson 1 Courtesy of the Library of Congress

Leonardo Da Vinci Da Vinci kept good records of things he had actually seen as well as things he thought up. The notebooks included 160 pages of drawings of his projects for flight. Da Vinci understood several key concepts in aviation such as streamlining. Streamling is designing an aircraft to reduce resistance to motion through the air. Chapter 1, Lesson 1 Courtesy of the Granger Collection, New York

A Parachute and A Helicopter Da Vinci produced the first known designs for a parachute and a helicopter A helicopter is an aircraft that gets its lift from spinning blades Da Vinci’s drawing of an “aerial screw” looks a lot like a modern helicopter Chapter 1, Lesson 1

A Parachute and A Helicopter Today’s parachutes are based on principles first described by Da Vinci He wrote that his invention would allow someone to “throw himself down from any height without sustaining any injury” Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Gliders Da Vinci also researched the idea of a glider A glider is a light aircraft without an engine, designed to glide after being towed aloft or launched from a catapult Gliders were the first aircraft that had directional control Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Ornithopters Da Vinci was fascinated with birds and experimented with flapping-wing machines He worked out designs for ornithopters An ornithopter is an aircraft designed to get its support and forward motion from flapping wings Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Why Machines Do Not Fly the Way Birds Do Chapter 1, Lesson 1 Courtesy of Comstock Images

Principles of Bird Flight A bird’s flight is similar to an airplane’s in some ways and different in others There are two phases of bird flight: A ground phase And a lift phase Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Birds’ Wings Wing feathers are arranged much like shingles on a roof They change position when the bird is flapping On the downbeat of the wing, the feathers are pressed together so little air can pass through them On the up stroke the feathers open Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Daniel Bernoulli The Dutch-born scientist Daniel Bernoulli (1700–1782) discovered that a fluid has a constant pressure, but when a fluid starts to move faster, the pressure drops Chapter 1, Lesson 1 Taken from wikipedia.com

Bernoullian Lift Wings are designed to make air flow faster over their tops—this makes the pressure drop and the wings move upward, defying the force of gravity This phenomenon is known as Bernoullian lift or induced lift Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Sir Isaac Newton The Englishman Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) formulated three famous laws of motion Chapter 1, Lesson 1 Taken from wikipedia.com

Newtonian Lift The third law states, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction” For example, when a pilot angles the wing of the plane up against the oncoming wind, the action of the wind causes a reaction by the wing This reaction provides some additional lift, known as Newtonian or dynamic lift Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Why Some Ancient Inventors Tried to Mimic Bird Flight At the beginning of aviation history, flapping wings seemed to be what flight was all about People observed birds, bats, and insects flying this way Some early inventors thought feathers might possess some lifting power of their own Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Why Some Ancient Inventors Tried to Mimic Bird Flight And even a thinker as brilliant as Da Vinci got stuck on birds as the model for human flight It was the Newtonian lift and Bernoullian lift that both bird flight and the flight of human-made aircraft rely on Airplanes are fixed-wing aircraft Only when people stopped trying to fly as birds do did the way open for the Wright brothers’ success on the North Carolina dunes Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Review Humans have dreamed of taking flight for thousands of years Some early inventors made devices of lightweight material such as cloth or wood, in imitation of birds’ or bats’ wings The Chinese invented the kite around 1000 BC They also invented gunpowder and rockets Chapter 1, Lesson 1

Review By now you’re beginning to understand that birds and airplanes don’t work exactly alike: Airplanes are fixed-wing aircraft and rely on their propellers to get them off the ground Chapter 1, Lesson 1
