Aircraft Stability In The 1900's And Early Twentieth-Century
An equally important topic to discuss aside from the invention of the airplane itself, is the concept and importance of airplane stability that first began to appear in the 1900s. With this in mind, airplane stability refers to the tendency of an airplane remaining in a straight and upright position despite there being a change in attitude during the flight (Vincenti, p. 52). However, while the invention of the airplane was gradually gaining the interest of inventors/pilots during the late 1800s into the early 1900s, the importance of airplane stability was not always obvious and was often taken for granted. For example, in the 1910s, airplane stability was often referred to as a confusing term that was valued as important based on a matter

For this reason, while the invention of the automobile began to gain popularity in the late 1800s due to Henry Ford’s Model T, airplane aviation also began to appear in later years, starting in the 1900s, leaving both inventions at the peak of the early twentieth-century (Marcus and Segal, p. 240). Nonetheless, automobiles and airplanes have provided information on how innovations during the twentieth-century emerged. For example, due to the impact that the inventions of the automobile/airplane had on the population, new innovations began to emerge every-so-often in hopes of recreating a design of their own on the two technologies. In addition, the inventions of the automobile and aviation in connection to Henry Ford and the Wright brothers also allowed future inventors/competitors to realize that while both inventions changed the history of transportation and technology forever, the battle to make these inventions successful was not an easy task. However, after the inventions of the first automobile from Henry Ford and the first airplane from the Wright brothers were created, other inventors during that period realized that in order to create their own form of a successful technology, one had to confirm that their invention would be fit for the needs of society/living (Marcus and Segal, p. 240). All in all, the history of the automobile and aviation are very important to the history of technology not only for the influence that these inventions had on the population, but also because of how our society has evolved alongside each
