Comparing Orville Wright's Flight And Aviation Industry

This quote supports that Feng was not frightened by his first test flight, but was positive because he tried to fly airplanes over and over again, instead of giving up. Therefore, Feng Ru was the first Chinese Aviation Pioneer that brought aviation to

Feng Ru in “The Father Of Chinese Aviation,” built his first aircraft ever in his life, but he kept failing and dies in a flight accident after his comeback. The author, “Rebecca Maksel,” showed the

Feng Ru was an immigrant to the United States, and a self-taught engineer. As a young man, he was driven to “learn all he could about machines, working in shipyards, power plants, machine shops, anywhere he could acquire mechanical knowledge” (Maksel). Eventually, he became fascinated with the new field of aviation. He read and translated information about the Wright brothers, Glen Curtiss, and Henri Farman into Chinese. In 1906, he started his own “aircraft factory, building airplanes of his own design” (Maksel).

When Feng Ru heard of the Wright Brothers’ success, he turned to aviation. Feng Ru “ laboriously translating into Chinese anything he could find on the Wrights, Glenn Curtiss and, later, French aircraft designer Henri Farman” (Maksel). Using his knowledge of aviation, he “ went east to learn all he could about machines, working in shipyards, power plants, machine shops, anywhere he could acquire mechanical knowledge” (Maksel). He did this to eventually build the airplane. Feng Ru “established the Guangdong Air Vehicle Company in 1909,” (Maksel).

Later on, Feng Ru became an engineer and heard about the Wright brothers and their plane, he “turned his attention to aviation”(Maksel). In paragraph four, it states, “So he went east to learn all he could about machines, working in shipyards, power plants, machine shops, anywhere he could acquire mechanical knowledge.” In addition, in paragraph five, it states, “But upon hearing of the Wright brothers’ success, Feng turned his attention to aviation, laboriously translating into Chinese anything he could find on the Wrights, Glenn Curtiss and, later, French aircraft designer Henri Farman.” These quotes explain that Feng Ru was a well known mechanic, but heard about the Wright brothers and started researching more about planes. Feng Ru was a self-taught flyer and as he was building and testing, he often faced natural and self-caused fires that resulted in him moving around often.

The first military balloons were used in 1790’s. To help the soldiers know the enemy’s location they used hot air balloons. They would fly above to see their enemy’s number and location. The soldiers soon realized and used their rifles to kill them and shoot all the air balloons (Emerson 33-36). The Union was a step ahead compared to the confederate when it came to air.

Wilbur and Orville had many problems and challenges while making the aircraft.the wright brothers still managed to make/fly the first aircraft. The kind of problems they had was the weather,family, and technical difficulties. The weather got in the way when they were trying to fly. One way the weather got in the way was when the winds were to light. When that happened the plane couldn 't fly because it needs high winds.

The only exception was Edward’s son, Edson Fessenden Gallaudet, who was a pioneer of aviation, partially inspiring the Wright

Feng was challenged constantly by poor working conditions, natural disaster, little funding, long working hours, and failed efforts. These events could have set Feng Ru back from becoming the first Chinese aviator to rise from the ground. According to paragraph six, “San Francisco’s massive earthquake and resulting fire forced him to relocate to Oakland instead, where, funded by local Chinese businessmen, Feng erected his workshop—a 10- by eight-foot shack. Jammed into this small space were tools, books, journals, mechanical projects, aircraft parts—and Feng himself, who rarely finished work before 3 a.m.” According to paragraph seven, “During one test flight, Feng lost control of his airplane (not an unusual occurrence), which plunged into his workshop, setting it ablaze.

However this does not mean that it was instantly used to propel rockets. B. In early thirteenth century, powder propelled fire arrows had become quite common. The Chinese depend on this type of technological development to generate incendiary projectiles of many types, explosive grenades and most probably cannons to repulse their enemies. One such weapon was the 'basket of fire ' or, as per Chinese translations, the 'arrows like flying leopards '.

Born on the 7th of May, 1833 Edmund Wright was delivered to James and Martha Wright in a populated area of Vancouver. Both his parents were rich painters, therefore his childhood was suffused with luxury. Despite being intellectually superior, and having a promising career as a painter, he was enlisted in the army at age 18 by Sergeant Charles Northcott. Following his recruitment, he was directed to 13th Light Dragoons in Balaclava. It was there he was wounded in the right thigh by a fragment of a cannon shell, but received no medical attention.

So feng Ru learned by reading about the Wright Brothers on how he can improve his plane. “Upon hearing of the Wright Brothers success, Fang Ru turned his attention to aviation.” (Maksel) Feng Ru tried to make his plane safe when they flew. Every day Feng Ru was working and working always every day to make his plane better. Even when he went back to China he still kept on working to make his air plane better.

The Wright Brothers were the perfect pair of entrepreneurs. They accomplished so much more than they would have than if they worked

As time passed after WWI, fewer people paid attention to airplanes. An example of this is how Eddie Ricken Backen was unable to get a job in aviation after being a WWI ace, he then ended up selling cars. This meant that there needed to be a change of opinion on flying. In order to change the people's mindsets Charles A. Lindbergh flew a plane for thirty-three hours and thirty minutes from New York to France. This was a major achievement and it led him to be known as a genuine hero (Minnesota Historical Society 1).

Slowly after the 1900’s different types of planes were being made and they had certain purposes. Big sturdy planes carried a lot of cargo, long thin planes carried passengers. Now almost everybody has rode a plane, it is really an amazing mode of transportation! The Wright Brothers changed the way aerodynamics works by, teaching thousands of pilots how to maneuver a plane.
