The people had always dreams to reach the Heavens since ages. The one of most brave and clever scientists of the past has tried to projected and produce some kind of machines , apparatus havier than air to reach this purpose . Leonardo Da Vinci is one of them.His genius projects, drafts and schemes are still impressed us today.

The genious maded plans for the machines havier than air,this is so before it's time. Leonardo used its technical abilities to repeat the mechnics of bird wings and their movements. After ages this will be successfully happened with first gliders - not-to self powered flying apparetus with static wing.The pioneer of gliders was Otto Lilienthal - German inventor . He was the first person who committed multiple flights by aircraft, heavier than air.Experiments of Otto and his brother Gustav are for the job by Englishman George Kyle. Starting in 1891,Otto performed over 2000 fields with their own gliders , surviving several crashes. On August 9, 1896 , when a sudden gust of wind , the wing of his glider breaks 17 m height and the fall Otto broke his spine. He died the next day , saying "Kleine Opfer müssen gebracht werden!" - " You should be doing some small sacrifices ".

Subsequently notes Otto Lilienthal serve basis starting the experiments of the Wright brothers .
But if we much apparatus whose are lighter , uses the power of air or oder gasses in other mode , the situation in our historical trip is changes.Baloons and their derivatives - zeppelins are one of the most famous and impressive ways to explore and flight the skies.In our days they are still very attractive.
The first successful flight on baloon was maded by professor Jacques Charles.There is in history accurate time of the event ( which is controversial ) - at 13:45 on December 1, 1783 Jacques Charles and the Robert brothers launched a new manned balloon from the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. Jacques was accompanied by Nicolas-Louis Robert as co-pilot of the 380-cubic-metre, hydrogen-filled balloon. The envelope was fitted with a hydrogen release valve and was covered with a net from which the basket was suspended. Sand ballast was used to control altitude. They ascended to a height of about 1,800 feet (550 m)and landed at sunset in Nesles-la-Vallée after a 2 hour 5 minute flight covering 36 km.
Jacques Charles and the Robert brothers flight
After few years is appeared new event -The Montgolfiers' first unmanned hot air balloon flight at Annonay, France, 1783. They maked a small flight, then a bigger one, pushing out a little at a time. This has been a fundamental part of prudent flight development ever since. While this balloon was little more than a toy, it was a tiny but crucial first step.
Montgolfier brothers flight
The main difference between these two projects is the filling of the apparatus - professor Jacques Charles used hydrogen , brothers Montgolfiers used hot air.
