Flying Leap

In the history of human flight, first came the daring tinkerers who gave wings to the pent-up human desire to soar. In the wake of their successes came a remarkable proliferation of flying machines, spacecraft, and colorful characters. At this Web site, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics celebrates these achievements with an annotated timeline of aviation history, brief biographies of famous pioneers, and a kids page presenting aircraft fundamentals and experiments.
