Chapter 1:   History

     Aerospace Engineering is the design and 

construction of planes and space shuttles.   It has 

been around since the late 19th century.   These 

engineers get to create some awesome machines!

     Aerospace Engineers have built planes that 

weigh over a half a million pounds.   They have 

also made spacecraft that can travel over 17,000 

miles per hour.   That is amazing.

     There are two types.   Aeronautical Engineering 

consist of inside the Earth's atmosphere.   An 

example is a commercial jet.

     The second type is Astronautical Engineering.  

This covers spacecraft that leaves the Earth's 

atmosphere.   An example is a space shuttle. 

Chapter 2:   Important 

People

     There are many 

important people who have 

paved the way for flight and 

space. Sir George Cayley 

drew an airplane with a 

wing, tail and propulsion 

system.   He had no engine 

so he made gliders. 

     The Wright Brothers are 

known as the fathers of 

modern manned flight.  

They flew the first aircraft 

that was heavier than air.  

They sold planes to the US 

Army.

     Charles A. Lindbergh 

designed and flew a plane 

across the Atlantic Ocean in 

1927. This led to improved 

metal designs that allowed 

aircraft to fly farther and 

faster.   This made aviation 

boom.

     Hugo Junkers, a German, 

built the first all-metal 

monoplane in 1910.   This type 

of plane was used by Boeing.  

It established the foundation of 

modern air transport.
