The Aerospace Industry: A Country's Developmental Framework
Abstract
Man has always been fascinated with flight. Since the Greek mythology character Icarus flew towards the sun in his crafted wings and fell to his death, early men dared to conquer the skies with often disastrous results. The dawn of aviation came when the Wright brothers flew the first heavier-than-air machine along the dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903. Soon, newly invented flying machines began to be used in sports and air shows. When the Great War broke out in 1914, machine guns were mounted on primitive aircraft, and airplanes became weapons of mass destruction. Advances in aircraft design and development led to the invention of more sophisticated and deadly military planes, which became a potent force in warfare in World War II. When the first satellite, the Soviet Sputnik, flew in 1957, the world entered the space age. A race between America and Russia began during the Cold War, culminating with Neil Armstrong landing on the moon's surface in 1969. Man has gone beyond the Earth's atmosphere and into the far regions of outer space.
