What are flying machines?
Flying machine can be considered as any device to fly. There may be a distinction between mechanically driven flying machines, flying machines driven by people, lighter than air flying machines and gliders. The idea of a flying machine that could carry a person has probably been captivated by humanity for many thousands, and there are examples of such facilities in myth and practice, and in Daedalus you can see the most famous description of the flying machine. With large wings attached to their arms, the couple was able to rise high above the edges, waving and sliding like birds - until I, of course, Icarus passed too close to the sun, and the wax tied its wings. Such myths exist in many different cultures that exceed for more than two thousand years.
In China, the first record of human flight was in the mid -6th century. This flying machine consisted of a dragon -known in China at that time - with a passenger space. These crew dragons are referred to many times in Chinese history, often as a method of espionage on enemies inthe time of war. In the 13th century, Marco Polo announced that they had seen these dragons with the crew during their travels in China.
ornithopters are flying machines that fly by imitating the wing of the bird. Daedalus wings are an early example of ornithopter. In the 15th century Leonardo da Vinci also developed plans for ornithopter, using a pulley and gears system to tap two huge wings and driving. At the beginning of the 18th century, Emanuel Swedenborg came up with its own Ornithopter design, which was released as a machine to fly in the air . Although Swedenborg realized that his design would not really be able to fly, he felt that it was important to start research on what he felt eventually possible - the elevation of a man into the empire of birds.
By the end of the 19th century, there were a number of work ornithopters, although none to fly for a long time. Some ran for gunpowder, others for steam and later on the combustion motoru. Finally, the world went with a flying fixed wing machine through birds similar to ornith -hopters and has stopped developing more or less. There is a devoted group of enthusiasts who continue to work on moving wings of flying machines, and in the last few years there have even been relatively successful ornithopters driven by man.
The slides are another simple flying machine that has seen a decent amount of success throughout history. In the 9th century Abbas Ibn Firans made the first successful parachute jump using an artificial wing. Twenty-five years later he built a glider and, according to all accounts, his first flight was largely successful-when he suffered injuries. At the beginning of the 11th century, an English monk named Eilmer of Malmesbury replicated the Daedal's mythical wings and flew more than 65 feet (20 m) before hit and injured. In the 17th century in Turkey, it is said that Ahmet Celebio made a successful gliding using artificial wings and rose above Bosphor (or Istanbul Strait).
Ahmnet Celebi's brother LaGari Hasan Celebi is said to have created a different kind of flying machine. Hasan is often attributed to the creation of the first artificially driven flying machine, using the upper part of the full shooting that is driven into the air - basically attached to the rocket and its opening. With the wings attached to his arms, it is said that he slipped to a softer landing.
Lighter than air flying machines began to appear at the end of the 18th century. The first successful trip to the hot air appeared in 1783 and many soon followed. Building on the success of a balloon with hot air appeared as a dominant formal machine in the middle of the 50s. Dirigibles remained widely popular until the accident in Hindenburg and other remarkable disasters, when they were discarded in favor of firm wing aircraft.
In the modern world, flying firm wing machines such as commercial aircraft used as the most popular form of transport, a rotary wing such as helicopters and missiles such as shuttle. BalloNY in hot air also remain popular in limited contexts, as well as large gliders, personal hanging gliders and blimpy.
