It has long been a human dream to fly in the primitive age of airplane development. In the myths of almost every country, it is depicted that humans fly in the sky. One of them is the Greek myth of Icarus. Daedalus, a gifted genius, invented a saw to cut wood, and he fell from the roof of the temple to kill his nephew out of envy of his reputation. For this crime, Daedalus was driven away to Crete Island with his son Icarus, and worked under King Minos, who was caught up in the fascination of the queen and was caught in a maze with his son. After thinking about it, the rich man who was imprisoned decided to gather bird feathers and make large wings and put them on his body to escape. But how did he get the bird feathers? It's smuggling. He worked hard to make wings out of it, put them on his arms, and tried to escape from the maze. The father told his son not to fly too high because he had been stowed away. But my son, Icarus, was so happy to be me that he went near the sun, and the wax melted and fell into the sea -- many devices were devised even after ancient times, but it was literally imagination. Then, what was well devised was the flying machine made by Leonardo da Vinci. He also devised a screw-like helicopter and a bird-like flapping machine. It's amazing that we did this much in those days. However, this idea was limited to research and could not actually fly. If Da Vinci had only been working on it, I would have actually built a machine. Even geniuses like Da Vinci fail, but it's ridiculous for ordinary people to succeed. ; So I decided to use an easier method. That's the hot air balloon. Flying with wings was too complicated to know the airflow. But hot air balloons are different. It's okay if you just make a complaint. The successful person in the hot air balloon is the "Mongolia Pieces." They say they were inspired to see the ash fly high into the sky when they set fire. They made a large bag of paper and put hot smoke in it. Soon it continued to grow in size and rose very easily. Later, on June 4, 1783, an open experiment was conducted with a 10-meter-diameter instrument in a place called Anonnei, France. The results of the experiment were very successful. As soon as the eight men holding the balloon let go, it soared to 180 meters. On September 19, they succeeded in testing sheep, chickens, and ducks in the same hot air balloon. It is said that the king and queen also attended and made a great success. The heat balloon continued to develop. Eventually, it was upgraded to a hydrogen device. The upgraded ones are the Charles brothers. Hydrogen, you know, is a very light gas. You don't have to make a fire, just put it in and it comes to mind. It's very convenient. On December 1, 1783, they came to mind. That's how I flew about 43 kilometers. It is said that Napoleon even used it for reconnaissance during the war.After the balloon, it was a glider. In 1804, Britain's Sir George Chaley succeeded in flying a glider for the first time. But the plane had no engine, so it couldn't go far or fly nicely. However, with the invention of the glider, research on the wings, the most important part of the plane, has been conducted, and it can be said that the study of airplanes has been taken to the next level. Later, the glider continued to develop and reached its peak during the German Lilliantal era.Before the power plane, the Wright brothers also learned their know-how about airplanes by experimenting with gliders more than 100 times. Thus the desire to fly in the sky began to grow. Pioneers Many pioneers died and were injured while attempting to build an airplane. Here we introduce Auto Lilliantal, who was the biggest player among them.Needless to say, the German Otto Lilliantal was a leading figure in 19th-century airplane research. As a skilled engineer, he built a steam boiler. But anyway, he was interested. He studied lift and changed the direction of the plane's movement through the angle of wings, the most important technology of the plane. I'm not sure because I heard it, but the glider he made can't adjust the wing angle with both hands because both hands are on the wing. That's why he came up with his idea! Just using his neck! It is said that he tied a thread around his neck and moved the wing angle by moving the neck.He has conducted more than 2,000 experiments on a hill near Berlin with a handmade glider. By doing so, the glider was further improved.He died in 1896 during a flight experiment on a hill. There was a gust of wind during the flight. But his death was not in vain. The Wright brothers were greatly shocked by his death and built the plane themselves. It was dawn on December 17, 1903 for the Wright brothers. King Devils Hill on the Kitty Hawk coast, with moderate winds. There are people gathering somewhere. There was the first Light Flyer to fly with power. There are only four people watching, but that's true. I turned on the engine of the plane. The propeller spins coolly. First Orville got on, and Wilbur took off the hook that had been holding the plane. The plane soon began to run as fast as it could down the runway. On this flight, Orville will have a 12-second flight time. The distance traveled is about 30 meters. It's a bit cold, but it's me! Three more experiments will be conducted on this day. On the fourth flight, it even sets a remarkable 58-second record. However, despite the success of the plane, the road ahead was not smooth. I took pictures and there were witnesses, but people didn't believe it. Newspapers refused to include articles. When I return to my hometown, I welcome my father and sister.It was absurd. Fortunately, however, he has become a superstar in Europe, contrary to the United States. In the end, I was able to become famous thanks to that.The Wright brothers were originally bicycle engineers. However, it worked as a more advantage when making airplanes. I looked for companies to use airplane engines, and all the engines I used there were big and heavy. So they used their bicycle making skills to build a small yet powerful engine. It was a very light four-cylinder engine, but I was able to exert more than 12 horsepower. Across the Atlantic, airplanes were in full swing in the 1920s, but there were still limitations. That's just crossing the Atlantic Ocean! I had to go on a boat for a few days. Then one day in 1919, Raymond Orteig, a hotel operator, bet $25,000 on a non-landing flight between New York and Paris. It's not that much money now, but it was a huge amount at that time. The first challenger was Renee Fonck, who shot down 75 enemy planes in World War I (Ren Fonck). Taking off from Roosevelt Airfield near New York in September 1926, he died with his crew when a plane exploded at the end of the runway without lifting up. Perhaps it was too heavy to lift the weight of the plane because it was loaded with fuel for a long flight. In April 1927, Major Richard E. Byrd was flying across the Atlantic and landed incorrectly at New Jersey, and his fellow crew was hospitalized and Major Byrd's wrist was broken (for your information, New Jersey is in the United States). So in France, Charles Nungesser and Francois Coli took off from Paris in May 1927, and people waited for their arrival in New York, but no news came.Then one day a young man named Lindbergh challenged him. People didn't pay much attention to him, who was less well known than other competitors. His flight was the Sprint of Saint Louis. On May 19, 1927, at 7:52, Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Airport for the transatlantic crossing with 2,750 pounds of fuel and some food.The first flight between Cape Cod and Nova Scotia was clear. From Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, the sea was iceberg and he flew along the beach. In the evening it began to darken, and the fog grew thick and surrounded by black clouds. It was only after the moon came up that the flight became easier. He used an instrument, but he often lost his course. I fell asleep on the flight. In fact, his biggest enemy in flying was sleepiness. Time barely passed by while pinching, drinking water, and rubbing my eyes. After a couple of hours, he saw the coastline over the horizon. I also saw a dolphin fishing boat. An hour later, he saw the murky shoreline of Ireland, and it was not until sunset that he began to fly between London and Paris that he finally saw the lights of Paris. He circled the Eiffel Tower and headed for Le Bourget Airport. The flight is over. He flew 3,600 miles in 33 hours and 31 minutes and had 85 gallons of fuel left.As the plane landed, thousands of people flocked to pull Lindbergh out of the cockpit and began to raise him up.The biggest reason he succeeded in crossing the Atlantic was the weight of the plane. The other astronauts had a large plane and not just went alone, but a few of themselves. But Lindbergh had a small plane and went alone, and he didn't even take a parachute to take a lot of fuel.After the successful crossing, American newspapers nicknamed him The Lone Eagle. The time of the First World War has gone by, and World War I has begun. You all know how the war broke out, right? But for the service, I'll just say it. It was a very chaotic time in the early 20th century.
In each country, the working class and capitalists were in fierce conflict, communism took place, environmental pollution, and other problems arose. So I looked at the colonies to solve the problem, but when I looked at them, imperialism, totalitarianism, and aggression occurred. Therefore, it can be said that each country was out of its mind. And to facilitate the invasion, Britain, France and Russia formed the Three Kingdoms negotiations, and Germany, Austria and Italy formed the Three Kingdoms Alliance (Note! Italy changed its team shortly after the war began! Meanwhile, the Austrian Crown Prince's ministry was killed by a young Serbian, and Austria declared war on Serbia. Then Russia declared war on Austria because it was the same Slavic people as Serbia. Germany, therefore, has declared war on Russia and against France. The angry Britain also intervened and declared war on its allies.In any case, they fought like this, and in the end, England and France won. The air battle that took place at that time would have been the hardest and most interesting (?) battle. It doesn't look like an enemy these days, but it's not a battle where you just shoot missiles and run away, but a battle where you shoot your enemy hundreds to tens of meters away. However, the pilot's position was in the middle and the part protruding above the plane was the head, so if you were unlucky, you could die hard. Besides, guns aren't usually guns, but machine guns, two or four of them shoot together. I hope you can imagine it individually. Let's get back to the point.Here, I will briefly introduce the flagship model used at that time and the Ace Red Baron that I respect. The flagship Soppwith F-1 "Camel" Soppwith Camel was one of the most efficient fighter jets in World War I. This plane has shot down more planes than any other country. However, because of the strange way the plane was controlled, more people died in practice than in combat.The plane was manufactured in England and deployed to the battlefield with the Royal Fleet in July 1917. The highly trained pilot made it highly mobile and difficult to be shot down easily at a relatively high flight altitude of 3,600 meters.About 5,490 camels have been built, but only a small number of them remain. During the Fokker Dr. I war, there were no coalition pilots who didn't know the fear of Fokker Dr. I. In particular, it was a plane that Manfred von Richthofen, the legendary ace of World War I, was on, so it had to be worse. The poker was made to cope with the Allied Soppwith Camel. It was first deployed on the Western Front in 1917, and many pilots were very surprised at the plane's mobility. Soon afterwards, a series of reports of victories flooded in. Of Lichthoffen's 21 victories mentioned above, 19 were made up of this plane.About 320 poker machines have been made. However, it is said that there is no real poker. Red Baron Manfred von Richthofen! It is said that he has almost divine flight skills. His nickname is Red Baron, that is, the Red Baron. As a German officer, he painted his plane red and fought. That's why it's Red Baron. In those days, Red Baron was the best ace to shoot down as many as 80 aircraft without radar, and when unlucky, bullets hit his head. The last moment happened to him, too. - On April 21, 1918, a poker triplane flight was approaching two R.E.8 reconnaissance planes of the Third Australian Fleet over the Somme River, a German-occupied area. Captain Roy Brown, who was leading eight Soppwith Camel planes, approached after waving his wings left and right to have the crew follow him. At that time, rookie Wilford May was on his first mission. I instructed Captain Brown to stay away from the battle. He tried to do so, but out of curiosity he joined the battle. But he was frightened out of the battle in a straight flight. Then, noticing that he was frightened, Lichtofen began to follow after him.Brown was engaged in an aerial battle and noticed May being chased from below. He went down at full speed and continued shooting at the poker until May and the German plane disappeared into the woods. A little later, I found two more planes. It was difficult to get close. Suddenly, the triplanes stopped chasing and began to descend to the point where the wheels touched the ground. May escaped the crisis, and Brown returned to join the air battle.Australian ground forces fired when a poker came in. Soon the plane crashed into the neutral zone. One of the soldiers found blood stains on the pilot's clothes and found that a bullet penetrated his shoulder. Soldiers examining the dead pilot's belongings discovered that he was Manfred von Lichtofen - the first airliner in the world to serve as an airliner. It's a little too much to call it an airship. Anyway, let's get down to business. In June 1910, a Zeppelin airship was launched on a route connecting Frankfurt and Duchelloz. The Zeppelin airship was filled with hydrogen lighter than air. Then I put a large propeller on the back to speed it up. The size was enormous, but the speed was considerably faster than the aircraft of the time. But there was a big problem with hydrogen-based airships. It's just safety.Hydrogen reacts so well to fire that it explodes when it's on fire and just waits. But what if a huge amount of hydrogen catches on fire? That's almost the level of a nuclear explosion. In fact, in the late 1930s, the airship Hindenbruck exploded and the ship disappeared. Then comes the age of airplanes. The first airliner was a Russian plane called Bolshoi Baltici. The plane could carry two crew members and seven passengers. Also, unlike today, we have installed a balcony where you can see the view in front of the plane. It was also upgraded by a plane called Le Grand. The cabin had chairs, sofas, toilets and even heating.But looking at the shapes of the planes at this time, it looked like a train was removed and attached, and the performance was poor compared to the rival airship. After World War I, airplane technology developed rapidly. As each country built bombers, large planes became easier to operate. Later in Germany, the world's first single-leaved (non-pair-winged) plane, called Donier Cometgi, will be launched. The plane was made of metal and the cockpit was double-seated with a pair of chairs. So the passengers could sit with the pilot. After that, a poker similar to a comedy came out. The shape was almost like that of the Comet. With the development of aviation technology in Germany, other countries were stimulated to develop each other.
