Unit 1 Aviation Research Papers
It has always been the dream of people to fly like a bird in the sky, many aviation pioneer in the pass created a lot of different things to achieve the goal of flying. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers decided to test their “first engine powered” aircraft and the result was successful. This event was a huge change in aviation, the first engine powered plane was named as Flyer 1 that became the first successful powered heavier-than-air flight.
During World War I, airplanes were widely being used by the military to do various missions in the world. Also airmail planes were being used for commercial purposes back in the old days and also now. There was an Air Mail Act of 1925, it helped to start the airlines and passenger service.

128 people were killed in that midair collision. This accident set the bad record of aviation accident involved more than 100 people. Back in that time, ATC only provided separation to aircrafts under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) but not aircrafts under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and separation services was only limited to airspace that were being controlled. (Lawrence, pg186) Although both planes were under an IFR flight plan, when they leave the controlled airspace they failed to use the “see and avoid” technique. This technique was still widely used in aviation today. Both aircrafts collided in an area of clear weather with some cumulus clouds and in uncontrolled airspace. This means that they both aircraft should apply the see and avoid technique, but neither did. The Crash Investigation panel suggested that the towering cumulus might have obscured the aircraft from each other. (Lawrence, …show more content…
This Act created different agency to enhance safety, these agency has been very successful in promoting safety and set regulations that protect the industry. Since the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 did helped to reduce midair collisions and accidents. More aircrafts are flying in the sky. Many developments in technology are attributed to FAA, accidents make our sky safer, we are able to know the reason for crashes and learn from them while developing regulations to prevent another accident of the similar type from happening again. The skies have never been safer in one of the most complex aerospace systems in the
