-
The plane flew a distance of 37 m - Small engine, basic design, 4 cylinder engine, 16 hp for 15 seconds
-
Did a 36.6 km flight in 37 minutes - Larger engine (50 hp, 16 cylinder) It had a more aerodynamic shape and was more sleek-like
-
French pilot - Gun was placed in the middle of the propeller (First plane used for fighting)
-
First completely metal plane - Built by Hugo Junkers - Even more aerodynamic
-
First large airliner - Twin engined - More advanced equipment than previous planes - Much faster than previous planes - Much more comfortable
-
First completely pressurized plane - More comfortable because it was able to fly above the weather
-
First completely jet powered plane - Very fast (700 km/h)
-
Broke the sound barrier - Powered by a rocket engine - Achieved 1126 km/h. 1948 - Achieved 1540 km/h.
-
First jet powered airliner prototype flies - It was faster than other airliners
-
Obtained the speed of mach 6 - It was x6 faster then the Bell X-1 - Rocket engine created 57,000 pounds of force
-
Was the first mass produced jet - Manufacturing only lasted 2 years - 104 of the first type of learjet were made - Jet engine
-
First aircraft to reach supersonic speeds - It obtained x2 the speed of sound - Used Turbojets as its engines - The jet engines were very inefficient
-
The most successful passenger aircraft ever made - Held the passenger capacity record for 37 years - Had 4 engines
-
The first plane to go around the world non-stop - Took 9 days - It was very light due to a carbon-composite material they used to build it
-
The most costly plane ever made (more than 1 billion dollars) - It was a high range bombing plane - It used 4 electric engines to power it
-
Double decker passenger plane - Can seat 555 people - biggest plane ever built - Had two engines
