PlanesBY ELI

How planes were invented

In 1903 the wright brothers invented the first ever plane that flew in the world.

People had flown before but they made the first powered aircraft.

The wright brothers plane worked because of the light weight aluminium.it is still used in planes today.

This is the engine that they used

SOME PLANES AVAILABLE TODAY

Differences between old and new planes

New planes are much faster to get to different places because they have better engines. Because technology is better.

Planes are now used for heavier freight than in the olden days.

They are also used for much more passengers for instance the a380 can hold about 613 people at once when not even full.

Planes are very safe these days, much more safe than in the olden days. To fly a plane in modern times they have safety standards and pilots have to pass lots of tests.

747 The electricity used to fly the 747

can light up 430.000 32inch flat screen TVs

The 747 is the longest passenger plane ever, it is 72 metres long

The wingspan is 59 metres

The cruising speed is 893km/h

The height is 19 metres

Dreamliner/787 The Boeing 787 is the newest

passenger plane

The plane’s top speed is 958km/h

the plane’s Wingspan is 60m

The Dreamliner was introduced on October 26 2011

a380 The wingspan for the a380 is 72m.

The height for the a380 is 24m

There are about 630 people on the plane when full

There are 4 engines on the a380

A330 The a330 can fit up to 470 people

The length of the plane is 63.69 mitres

The wingspan is 60 mitres

The tail height is 156 mitres

The cabin width is 5 mitres

There are two engines on this plane

Each a330 has 3 fuselage sections that are joined together by 12,000 fasteners

My ideas why it has changed

planes these days have changed a lot

for instance you can now use phones on the plane with internet in some places

You also have TV screens that are even touch screen. They show videos on demand

The planes also go much faster than before

they also have beds in business and first.

How planes will change in the future

One thing that i know will change is that planes will be super sonic so that you can get to the place you are going faster.

There might be windows all around so that you can see every direction.

In economy class they can have actual beds so you can get some sleep.
