H.G. Wells said that a day will come when people, who has thoughts that became dreams and hidden potential in their bodies, who shall stand upon Earth like a footstool, and while they are in the middle of a mist of stars, they raise their hands and laugh. Later, the Engineering Editors, of the Times, said that in all the attempts to create and perfect airplane are not only dangerous to human life, but it foredoomed the failure of the engineer’s standpoint. As one man dreamed of raising his hands and touching the skies, above the clouds. The other told how dangerous aviation can be to the human life, and how engineers will fail many times. Both of these famous quotes are right, the human race will touch the skies and fail many times in …show more content…
CEO of American Airlines, Doug Parker, says how he thinks that Tony never thought of how big of an impact his flight would mean to the world today. The American Airlines, at the time, were private enterprises while most of them were government owned and goes through the history of aviation. The history starts from 1914, through the World Wars, the Jet Age, and finally the 21st century. The First official airline went back to 1925. The father of airline, which is the Western Air Express, and the first airport was called the La Guardia Airport in Queens, New York.
Besides, Interjet became the first American Airline into supporting the electric taxiing system by Honeywell, and Safran have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Mexican airline Interjet, so they can support the advancement of the EGTS taxiing system. Since, this supports using technology on the airplanes for the use of the taxiway and runway, which brings both fuel savings and emissions reductions to the airlines. Evidently, this can save up to four blocks of fuel on the plane by using motors on the landing gear that enables the landing gear to push back from the gate and taxi by using the plane’s own electrical power rather than using its main engine.

Opening: Personal human flight has been a dream sense Leonardo da Vinci made the first real studies of flight in the 1480's. summarized by A. J. Andrea “By the 1980’s Humanity's long fascination with flight involved a contest to see who could build the first airplane. British, German, and French glider experiments in the 1890s provided a foundation for the Wright brothers’ triumph in 1903, the first successful controlled, powered, heavier-than-air human flight. “Today we have had the benefit of over 500 years of research and development but are still no closer to personally mastering the sky’s then we were then. Through mastering technology and working with government agencies, we too can personally fly among the birds and secure the benefits
American airline industry is steadily growing at an extremely strong rate. This growth comes with a number economic and social advantage. This contributes a great deal to the international inventory. The US airline industry is a major economic aspect in both the outcome on other related industries like tourism and manufacturing of aircraft and its own terms of operation. The airline industry is receiving massive media attention unlike other industries through participating and making of government policies. As Hoffman and Bateson (2011) show the major competitors include Southwest Airlines, Delta Airline, and United Airline.
U. S. Army Engineers in World War II The birth of the Corps of Engineers is recorded as June 16, 1775 with the appointment of a Chief Engineer for the Army. “…June 16, 1775 when General George Washington appointed Colonel Richard Gridley as Chief Engineer of the Continental Army.” (Pitts, 2013) Engineer Soldiers were originally called Miners and Sappers.

Throughout history, many of mankind 's achievements were great, but few can compare to soaring up into the sky. From the first functioning plane, to commercial flight, to space travel, people have been innovating and creating so that one day, we can actually reach the stars. The Wright brothers, Amelia Earhart, the Boeing 747, the Apollo Moon Mission, and the Challenger Space Shuttle were all different people, objects , and events that contributed to people being able to get off the ground, into the air, and even further, into space.
1. United Airlines is owned by the UAL Corporation and was incorporated on December 30, 1968. The actual company was formed may years before this actually in 1925 and was a private mail carrying service between Pasco, Washington, and Elko, Nevada, and from these humble beginnings they formed a were able to start a company that would come to be a global leader in the airline service.

These companies that they purchased were not a success and were later resold.
Being the largest airline in the world comes with some significant advantages, one of the most important is a physical presence in the locations that passengers want to travel. As part of the anti-trust settlement, American Airlines agreed to sell approximately 15% of their takeoff and landing slots in Washington D.C. and New York . Even with this sale of slots, American Airlines is still able to offer flights to over 250 destinations daily. Just by their sheer size, American Airlines should be capturing a significant share of the market.

Delta Air Lines is the longest-running airline carrier which began in 1924. It was initially a crop-dusting company called Huff Daland Dusters. It has since become one of the world’s transportation leader in providing efficient, on-time air travel. The company has been based in Atlanta, where Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport serves as its largest domestic hub and primary base for flights to over 60 countries since 1941. However, that is not the only hub it has as it also operates four other hub locations in major U.S cities. (academicmind**)
In examining the history of aviation in the U.S. and the development of the airlines, it is clear that the Federal Government played a vital role in the development of both. Historical records clearly show that this involvement by the Federal Government was critical in getting them established and in helping to develop them into the globally dominant enterprises they are today. Furthermore, it can be easily argued that U.S. aviation as a whole, and the airlines in particular, would not be where they are today without this direct involvement by the Federal Government and some of the very specific actions that it has taken to keep them relevant and competitive during the most dire of times. The Federal Government ensured that U.S. aviation and its airlines would develop and achieve a worldwide leadership role by becoming involved in three major ways: through funding, legislation, and policy setting.
For over 75 years, Alaska Airlines has been guided by honesty, compassion, originality, proficiency, and a distinctive spirit. Alaska Airlines started in 1932 as McGee Airways by Linious “Mac” McGee. He painted “McGee Airways” on a three-passenger Stinson and began flying out of Anchorage, Alaska. In 1934, McGee combined with Star Air Service, with 22 aircraft, they became the largest airline in Alaska. In 1937, business expanded again with the acquiring of Alaska Interior Airlines. Later that year, McGee sold Star to one of his former pilots, Don Goodman, who renamed the company Star Air Lines. In 1938, the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA) was created to regulate airlines. In 1944, Star Air Lines changed its name to Alaska Airlines. The company grew despite a shortage of workers during the war and cash troubles that had
Chuck Hull invented the very first 3D Printer which is also known as ‘Additive Manufacturing’ for commercial rapid prototyping in 1983, founded 3D systems in Valencia California. The popularity of 3D printing has risen recently due to an increase in availability which made it possible to have versatile machines in today's technology. His work got recognised only three years ago where he became the winner of the European inventor award 2014 in the category of Non-European countries. From here we acknowledge that his discovery became appreciated fairly recently. Moreover, it is applied a lot in the medicinal industry such as synthetic skin, cranium
American Airlines was the United States’ largest carrier in 1992 with a fleet of 622 jet aircraft, flying 2,450 flights daily to 182 locations, as well as new innovative technology and programs. American Airlines was the first to introduce a computerized airline reservation system called Sabre, “Super Saver” fares and frequent flier programs. Regardless of the innovations, American Airlines and the airline industry was still not operating as profitably or providing customer satisfaction the way it should have in 1992. In 1991, As a result of a recession and the Gulf War, demand for air travel fell, fare wars came about, and the airlines
