History of the Faa

Over 100 years ago, when humanity looked for new places to conquer, two men looked to the skies. Wilbur and Orville Wright built the first working motor airplane, and after that day, the world took a huge interest in aviation, causing many leading pioneers and innovators in the aerospace field to emerge, revolutionizing the way we look at the skies.

The first flight occurred in 1903 when the Wright brothers famously took their airplane for a final test flight in December. In the years after this historic flight many people start to see the potential for airplanes in war, transportation, and shipping. Other builders disregarded previous doubt about flying and began to replicate the ideas of the Wright brothers in creating planes with three axes. In addition, the approach of WWI prompted military personnel to pursue uses of airplanes as a war machine. The airplane influenced many aspects of American culture after it’s invention including civilian life, war technology, and individual possibility.

These airplanes at first by the people thought they were going to be useless. In the end, the airplanes ended up being very useful. The airplanes served as a good way to shoot out the opponents. The airplanes being up in the air was such a good advantage for the soldiers that were going to use them for war purposes.

The first federal government regulations of the interstate airline industry were the Air Mail Act of 1925 and the Air Commerce Act of 1926. Additional federal regulation of commercial aviation was imposed with the passage of the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938.

The first ever flight was on December 17, 1903 by the Wright Brother’s Wright Flyer I (Wright Brothers). After years of development

The Air Mail Act of 1934 banned the common ownership of manufactures and airlines so; this caused the United Aircraft and Transport Corporation to spilt into three companies. Manufacturing east of the Mississippi River became United Aircraft, which is now United Technologies, manufacturing west of the Mississippi River became Boeing Airplane Company, and the airline interest became known as United Airlines.

This was essentially the last straw for the government in regards to air safety. The day after this collision Senator Mike Monroney (D-OK) and Representative Oren Harris (D-AR) proposed the Federal Aviation act, citing that there are gaps in safety in regards to air traffic and that there must be a more unified control over civil AND military aviation. President Eisenhower publicly announced the White House’s support for the Federal Aviation Act on June 13, and on August 23, 1958 Congress signed the Act into law creating the Federal Aviation Agency.

These changes helped their flights last longer and were now able to be used as a way of transportation. By the year of 1908 they had signed a contract with the U.S. Army for production of the Wright plane. In 1918 the airmail service began and in 1920 the government established the first transcontinental airmail service, making a great impact in the nation. Another way in which planes have made an impact in history was in war, for example, World War 1. The military began using planes which were loaded with bombs. Planes were used to gather information, machine guns were put in the planes to have air combats. In the second war, World War II, Germany used powerful aircraft in their military strategy called blitzkrieg. Another devastating impact that was made with the use of airplanes was the attack on Pearl

Unfortunately, aviation policies are often “reactive.” The passage of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 was due to a series of midair collisions after the introduction of jet aircraft. There has been a steady growth in air travel ever since then. As indicated by the Allegiant Airlines case, the runway incursion incident could be greatly attributed to the lack of airfield familiarity or proper communication skills. Taxiing aircraft – especially modern airplanes with high bypass engines – currently requires considerably more skill and practice than was necessary in the past. While the airport operator’s training requirement is standardized, the airline practices still differ. The best course of action would be to standardize and regulate

The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were inventors and pioneers who created the worlds first successful flying airplane that they invented and builded. Their first recorded flight was on December 17, 1903. Over the next years they continued to develop the aircraft making a contribution to develop the modern airplane. This contribution was in control of the airplane through their three- axis control system that is still used today. The Wright Brothers use the Scientific Method process just like we have learned in school.

objections however to improving an existing government service. So it happened that organized air transport in the U.S. started with flying the mail. And the way the early airmail service developed provided the springboard that would enable American commercial aviation, by the late 1920s, to catch up with the Europeans and then to surpass them (Air Mail 158).

The First two names that comes to mind when it comes to aviation are Wilburn and Orville; the wright brothers; Kitty Hawk North Carolina, when the Wright brothers made the first heavier-than-air, machine powered flight which lasted 12 seconds. Before those guys, many studies by brilliant minds, such as De Rozier, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton has been set in place which lead to this 12 second flight by the wright brothers in 1903. It was the matter of time after the first power aircraft when the development of the first practical airplane in 1905 and launched worldwide efforts to build better flying machines. As a result, the early 20th century witnessed myriad aviation developments as new planes and technologies entered service. (FAA, 2015). With this new method of transportation booming and every nation around globe part taking in it, comes the concern of safety and organize operations.

The path was a system of buildings, navigational structures and airstrips that allowed for reliable and safe flights all hours of the day. The management of the transcontinental airway has two distinct periods, before and after the Kelly Act of 1925. The Kelly act was in response to the complaint that the federal government was subsiding an industry, creating unfair competition with traditional private mail transportation companies. Before 1925 the USPS maintained the Transcontinental Air Route and owned the planes delivering the mail. The Airways Division in the Bureau of Light Houses was given the task of maintaining the nation’s airways after passage of the Kelly Act. Therefore all of the major ground components of the Transcontinental Airway and the other airways in the country built after 1925 were constructed by the Airway

The world was changed on December 17, 1903 when Orville Wright flew the first airplane for a period of 12 seconds. Orville, born in 1871 and his brother Wilbur, born in 1867 grew up in Dayton Ohio with two other brothers, Reuchlin and Lorin and one sister Katherine. They grew up in a loving family, which helped the brothers with the success in their future. Many people are not aware that much of their knowledge that went into the makings of the airplane came from their mother Susan and the bicycle repair shop they owned. Interestingly, Wilbur and Orville were not the men who first thought of flying. In the 16th century, Leonardo de Vinci had thoughts of a “flying machine” that was ahead its time, though
