Airplanes – Airships – Gliders – Helicopters – Hot Air Balloons
Airplanes have significantly impacted global connectivity, commerce, and tourism, shrinking distances and facilitating global transportation networks. They have revolutionized travel, enabled rapid delivery of goods, facilitated emergency response and medical evacuations, and played a crucial role in military operations and surveillance. Here is the access to the complete database (divided by Type):
Airplanes, also known as aeroplanes or fixed-wing aircraft, are the most common and widely used type of aircraft. They have fixed wings that generate lift as they move through the air. Airplanes can range from small single-engine aircraft used for recreational purposes to large commercial airliners and cargo planes capable of carrying hundreds of passengers or significant amounts of freight.
The Martinsyde G.100 (and G.102) was a British fighter bomber aircraft built by Martinsyde and used during World War I.
The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark was an American supersonic, medium-range, multi-role combat aircraft first flown in 1964.
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum is a twin-engine aircraft designed in the Soviet Union as an air superiority fighter.
The Eurofighter Typhoon is a European multinational twin-engine, multi-role fighter manufactured by Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH.
The Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.5 was a British two-seat reconnaissance and artillery observation biplane used during World War I.
Helicopters are rotary-wing aircraft that use rotating blades on top to generate lift and propulsion. They have the unique ability to take off and land vertically and hover in one place. Helicopters are widely used in various applications, including transportation, search and rescue, and military operations.
The Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 was a helicopter developed by Germany during World War II and the first one to attain production status.
The Cornu Helicopter was a French experimental helicopter widely credited with the first free flight of a rotary-wing aircraft.
The Bamboo-Copter or Chinese Top is a toy helicopter rotor that flies up when its shaft is spun rapidly. The spinning creates lift.
Leonardo’s Aerial Screw was envisioned as a device resembling a large screw or corkscrew-shaped structure that would enable vertical flight.
The Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk is a four-blade, medium-lift, twin-engine utility military helicopter and winner of the UTTAS program in 1976.
Gliders are unpowered aircraft that rely on the natural forces of wind and air currents to stay aloft. They have long wings and are designed to glide through the air for extended periods without an engine. Gliders are used for recreational flying, competitive soaring, and training purposes.
The Yokosuka Ro-go Ko-gata was a Japanese experimental glider used as a reconnaissance floatplane. It was developed during World War I.
The Wright Glider was a series of four experimental aircraft (1 kite and 3 gliders) designed by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1900-1902.
The Bristol XLRQ was a 12-seat amphibious glider aircraft developed for the United States Marine Corps in 1942-43.
The DFS 230 was a German transport glider developed in 1933 and operated by the Luftwaffe during World War II.
The Waco CG-4 (or Hadrian) was the most widely used American troop and cargo military glider of World War II.
Airships, also known as dirigibles or blimps, are lighter-than-air aircraft that use large gas-filled envelopes for buoyancy. They have engines for propulsion and control surfaces for maneuverability. Airships are relatively slower than airplanes but offer unique capabilities for long-distance travel and aerial observation.
The SS Class Airship were cheap and simple small non-rigid airships or “blimps” designed to counter German U-boats.
The De Gusmao Steam Airship was a picture and description of an airship made by Bartolomeu Lourenço de Gusmão to King João V in 1709.
The Astra-Torres Airship was a French non-rigid airship built by Société Astra between 1908 and 1922 and designed by Leonardo Torres Quevedo.
The Zeppelin LZ 10 Schwaben was a German rigid passenger airship built in 1911 by Luftschiffbau Zeppelin and operated by DELAG.
Lana de Terzi’s Flying Boat was an early experimental aircraft built by Enrico Forlanini and Giovanni Battista “Lana” de Terzi in 1905.
Hot air balloons are aircraft that use hot air to generate lift. They consist of a large envelope filled with heated air and are propelled by wind currents. Hot air balloons are primarily used for recreational purposes and provide a serene and scenic flying experience.
The Double Eagle II was the first balloon to cross the Atlantic Ocean. It left Maine and landed on 17 August 1978 near Paris.
The Montgolfier Brothers’ Balloon was the first manned hot air balloon. It was created in 1783 by Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier.
