Aviation Industry Case Study

Flyboys is a movie which is fairly accurate for the most part but there are still few inaccuracies which are why it is considered only fairly accurate. Flyboys does a good job in an accurate portrayal of the Lafayette Escadrille and the other fighter pilots values, beliefs, training and the toll of tragedies on them mentally, but when it comes down to their military strategy, airplanes and different modes of transportation, it begins to become somewhat inaccurate.

Like Jackie Robinson and Melba Pattillo Beals, Feng Ru helped improve his home country, China, when he was motivated by the United States’s industrialization to build a plane and make a similar impact on China. Feng Ru was also challenged, but unlike Robinson and Beals, his challenges came as long hours, bad working conditions, natural disasters, and the risk of death when testing planes. In paragraph six of the article about him, Maksel states, “Jammed into this small space were tools, books, journals, mechanical projects, aircraft parts—and Feng himself, who rarely finished work before 3 a.m.” This quote explains some of the conditions Feng Ru was challenged by, such as small spaces. This is also shows in paragraph seven, where the article states, “During one test flight, Feng lost control of his airplane (not an unusual occurrence), which plunged into his workshop, setting it ablaze.” This quote shows that crashing planes was not unusual, which brought a lot of risk, as Feng Ru could have gotten killed or severely injured in these crashes. Through these events, Feng Ru gained knowledge of aviation

“The airplane stays up because it doesn 't have time to fall” Wilbur Wright said this quote because he never gave up on inventing the first plane. Through his and orville’s trial and error they created and flew the first plane in mankind. Through their creation they changed the mode of transportation forever. The airplane now travels people, animals and luggage in a very short amount of time. The Wright Brothers didn 't just affect america but the whole world! The Wright Brothers Impacted society by Creating the First plane, Introducing a new mode of transportation to mankind, and changed the way aerodynamics works.

a.) In the 1920’s lots of new things began to hit the market. Commercial radios, sunny hollywood movies, automobiles and airplanes! Aviation began to take flight as the first plane was perfected allowing greater distances to be achieved. Charles A. Lindbergh paved the success of planes with his 33 hour and 39 minute trek across the atlantic ocean. He was the first person to do such a daring feat and it paid off. It gave the impression that flying was safe. Without this added security I'm sure we’d miss out on all the great things planes had to offer us such as faster transportation of goods and ourselves!

Main Idea: Breakthrough steel caused booms in construction of railroads. Many advances and different uses of oil electricity to improve communication/ transportation and construction.

In the modern era, a world lacking airplanes seems unfathomable. While planes may seem commonplace in contemporary society and are often overlooked, they have contributed greatly to the history of the world, and should not be taken for granted. The invention and industrialization of airplanes had a massive impact on many countries, especially the United States and Great Britain. The military and travel capabilities of both countries exponentially increased, and each thrived because of that. The industrialization of airplanes established an innovative new empire generating massive numbers of jobs through factories. Very robust for the time, planes introduced a profession where women were the dominant role, which in turn brought a huge change

During World War II, the United States Army Air Corps made many advancements making it possible to better protect the troops and bring them home. Not only were there many improvements in aircraft technology, but there also began to be changes in society’s views on African Americans in the military.

Through the course of World War 1, technology has seen a rapid advancement and played a major role within the war as well. One specific type of technology that we truly saw advance and contribute to the war, were aircrafts. At the beginning of World War 1 no one would ever imagine aircrafts would play a big part in the war as much as they did and some even believed aircrafts were not cut-out for war. French Army Marshal Ferdinand Foch stated “The aircraft is all very well for sport- for the army it is useless”, but wasn 't he wrong.

On November 11, 1918, the Great War came to an end. The allies had won and one thing was certain. The advancements in technological weaponry had guided us to victory. Among the advancements were tanks, submarines, flamethrowers, poison gas, and machine guns. But one advancement in particular allowed us to take the war off land.

Did you know that over 4,000 people have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan? Did you know that the first car was made in 1893? Along with the invention of the airplane, all of these events have changed America greatly and have made an impact. The invention of multiple

Just as you have to look back on the past to understand the present, you must go back to the roots of Shay’s Rebellion to finalize your decision.The Articles of Confederation maintained the policy of the national government not holding more power than the states. It satisfied the worries that the people of the states had about a strong central power as they previously had with Britain before the Declaration Of Independence.There was no federal power as the people feared that giving someone that much power would be disastrous and it was decided that congress would handle all the nation’s matters.It may have seemed like an effective set of rules for the nation, but it turned down hill as we begin to see flaws in this constitution. There was

During the time period of World War 1 there were many advancements in weaponry that was used during this time period. World War 1 took place from 1914-1918. The way weapons were used in the war was drastically changed and many weapons were new and were being used for the first time, The style of fighting was very different and the new weapons that were introduced were able to take over the way wars were fought. The new weapon of gas was introduced during this was and was a major weapon during the war. Other new advancements like airplanes were used to drop bombs on enemy lines. Weapons like tanks , flamethrowers, and machine guns were a driving force in the war. The new advancements in technology were able to change the war wars were fought

The Wright brothers infamous flight at Kittyhawk happened just over a decade prior to the assassination of the Archduke. And up untill the use in the 1911 war between Tyrkey and Libya airplanes were still rather undeveloped, and being used purely for recreation. War lead to an explosion in production

London , 1993. Dr. John H. Morrow an American Historian and professor at the University of Georgia in his book The Great War in the Air, provides detailed information about the Gotha Bomber and other German aircraft of World War 1 as well as evidence of bomber planes being more effective than the Zeppelin Airships. Morrow uses detailed information and historical events to show people how strategic bombing by planes proved to be much more successful than the Zeppelin bombing campaigns. I believe the author wishes to inform people of how the plane progressed throughout the war and how Germany shifted from the Zeppelin to the use of bombers. The authors audience for this book should have a fair understanding of aviation terms and be interested in how the plane progressed throughout the years of World War 1. The information I found in this book will greatly support my

Known for its rolling hills and beautiful beaches, Kitty Hawk is a very frequently visited city with over 40,000 visitors each year. Although it is a good vacation spot, a very important advance in technology that changed our world forever happened. Kitty Hawk NC marks the place where brothers, Wilbur and Orville Wright, invented and enhanced the first airplane.
