Before the Industrial age, humans were just beginning to experiment with flight. Around 300 BC, the ancient Chinese began to fly kites, lanterns, and balloons during festivals and ceremonies. While these were not manned, human flights, they introduced the concept of flying to humans (Wikipedia, 2010). The ancient Greeks also made some contributions to aviation. At about the 4 century BC, the mathematician Archytas invented a steam powered model of a bird that reportedly flew about 200 meters (Wikipedia). Heron of Alexandria, an engineer, designed what is believed to be the first steam engine. The aeolipile used steam power to create rotation (Wikipedia). While not originally intended for flight, this device would be used centuries later as designers sought out methods of powering their aircraft.
The Industrial age saw the rise of research into aviation technology and aerodynamics. At the forefront of this research was Sir George Cayley, a British engineer known as the ‘Father of Aviation’. Cayley is credited with recognising “those four crucial areas – propulsion, structure, aerodynamics, and stability and control – necessary for the successful achievement of powered flight” (Ackroyd, 2002, p.2). As opposed to gliders, Cayley determined that planes would need a power source for practical flight. Previous inventors like Clement Ader and Sir Hiram Maxim tried steam power, but the engines proved to be either underpowered or too heavy (Wikipedia). When faced with this realization, however, Cayley described a propulsion system remarkably similar to the internal combustion engine used in post- industrial aircraft (Ackroyd, 2002). Cayley calculated that lift in wings was generated not only by wind flowing off the wing, but how wind flowed into the wing (Ackroyd, 2002). Modern wings are now designed to cut through the air as smoothly as possible to generate maximum lift. Cayley implemented a tail in his design in an attempt to address the issue of stability (Ackroyd, 2002); every aircraft today, be it helicopter or fixed-wing, is built with a tail. The advances made by Sir Cayley are among the most significant in aviation history. Without his research, two certain brothers would never have left the ground.
