Pioneers of aviation have contributed to the development of aeronautics in one or more ways: through science and theory, theoretical or applied design, by constructing models or experimental prototypes, the mass production of aircraft for commercial and government request, achievements in flight, and providing financial resources and publicity ...
The term aviation, is a noun of action from the stem of Latin avis "bird" with the suffix -ation meaning action or progress. It was coined in 1863 by French pioneer Guillaume Joseph Gabriel de La Landelle (1812–1886) in Aviation ou Navigation aérienne sans ballons.
Aviation engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with airspace development, airport design, aircraft navigation technologies, and aerodrome planning. It also involves the formulation of public policy, regulations, aviation laws pertaining to airspace, airlines, airports, aerodromes and the conduct of air services agreements through treaty.
Aviation, aerodynamics, aeronautics, aeronautical engineering Sir George Cayley, [ 1 ] 6th Baronet (27 December 1773 – 15 December 1857) [ 2 ] was an English engineer , inventor, and aviator. He is one of the most important people in the history of aeronautics .
For his distinguished and pioneering contributions in engineering design and development of advanced military and commercial aircraft. Donald Wills Douglas, Sr. (1973) For his vast contribution to the aviation world. Leroy Randle Grumman (1968) For his long continued contributions to aeronautical engineering.
Dec. 15 is an important day in cutting-edge aviation history. Two advanced aircraft took their first flights on this day: Lockheed Martin's F-35 in 2006, and Boeing's 787 Dreamliner in
Jerome F. Lederer (1902–2004) – aviation-safety pioneer; René Leduc (1898–1968) – designer of the ramjet-powered Leduc 0.10; Diane Lemaire (1923–2012) – first woman to graduate from the University of Melbourne with a degree in engineering; Léon Levavasseur (1863–1922) – aviation pioneer
Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft. [3] It has two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Avionics engineering is similar, but deals with the electronics side of aerospace engineering.
