the herald of the new passenger plane

On 1935 a 21 passenger plane called the Douglas Dc3 flew passengers to anywhere.It was powered by 2 Pratt and whitney radial piston engines.Built by Donald Wills Douglas.It was used in world war 2 and still flies today.Now there are Dc3s with turboprop engines.

The first powered flight

One day in Kitty hawk,America two brothers Orville and Wilbur wright made the first flight in 1903.They say the plane was made out of flimsy wood and fabric.It was powered by a 12 stroke engine so the pilot had to fly the plane lying down.
