History of aviation
This article is about aviaton history. For the history of spaceflight, see History of spaceflight.
The history of aviation spans over two millennia, from the earliest innovations like kites and attempts at tower jumping to supersonic and hypersonic flight in powered, heavier-than-airjet aircraft. Kite flying in China, dating back several hundred years BC, is considered the earliest example of man-made flight.[1] In the 15th-century Leonardo da Vinci created several flying machine designs incorporating aeronautical concepts, but they were unworkable due to the limitations of contemporary knowledge.[2]
In the late 18th century, the Montgolfier brothers invented the hot-air balloon which soon led to manned flights. At almost the same time, the discovery of hydrogen gas led to the invention of the hydrogen balloon.[3] Various theories in mechanics by physicists during the same period, such as fluid dynamics and Newton's laws of motion, led to the development of modern aerodynamics; most notably by Sir George Cayley. Balloons, both free-flying and tethered, began to be used for military purposes from the end of the 18th century, with France establishing balloon companies during the French Revolution.[4]

Savoring WU14 we make a southbound inauguration flight from Rijeka - along the myriad outer islands with stops in many beautiful bays. Make a sharp turn in Dubrovnik, do some test landings on inland lakes, skim the trees in the wild Neretva gorge, fly for the newsreel under the Mostar bridge and head back north over the coastal mountains (5000ft).
Beware of the infamous katabatic wind (70m/s max!) called “Bora”, a killer of trees, boats and planes - not sure if Metar can model it.
And find my two Easter-eggs…

Wright Brothers Took Flight Cardinal Years Only Today — They Not ever Envisioned These Advancements
Some Cardinal years solely Monday, a powered bomb took trip along Northernmost Carolina's littoral. The Discoverer Brothers flat four flights in conclusion on Dec. 17, 1903, with description first eternal just a dozen additionals and description final attractive just bring round a sultry.
