1904 First powered flight in NZ
The first powered heavier-than-air machine was launched on 31st March 1903 by Richard William Pearse. However, the date was recorded in 1904. This project was designed uniquely as he installed a two-cylinder "oil engine" and an aerofoil on it. It enabled to fly several hundred meters. In 1901, the project was initially started, it was completed in two years. The quality was not that good as it had an inadequate turning moment to control the pitch or yaw of the aircraft. The cost was acceptable. -

1939 First jet propelled aircraft
The “turbojet” was the first flight that used a jet engine which was invented in the 1930s. Heinkel He 178 V1 was the first turbojet aircraft which was also the first prototype of the German Air Force on 27th August 1939. This project was proposed firstly in 1932 by Campini. It took 1 year and 5 months to complete the scheme. The first production was called the Meteor which then entered the product line. It was the fastest aircraft at that time. The cost was accepted by the organization. -
