History
Aircraft
The Wright brother's third glider was the world's first aircraft with three-axis aerodynamic control, meaning it was the first to successfully pitch, yaw, and roll while in flight. A year later on December 17th, 1903, the Wright brothers flew the first airplanes.
Zeppelins
Ferdinand von Zeppelin, who was a a German general and Aircraft manufacturer, invented the Zeppelin. He was born into a noble family on July 8, 1838. The first zeppelin was unsuccessfully launched on July 2nd, 1900. Zeppelin took a break from his work after the zeppelin didn't work. When he came back to his work a few years later, he launched another zeppelin with a few modifications. October 6, 1906 will mark the first time a zeppelin was flown. After it was successfully flown, the government funded Ferdinand von Zeppelin enough money to make 21 more zeppelins.
When Zeppelin died in 1917, Hugo Eckener took over. He made the airships safer and more secure. Eckener died in 1954.
