Airplanes
Storyboard Text
- Before airplanes, traveling cross-country could take weeks or even months.
- Unfortunately, our world has seen two major wars, as well as many conflicts, and the airplane has played a big part in determining who would be the victor. He who has the newer technology is inevitably successful at scouting, shooting, and payloads.
- Sputnik, the Soviet Union’s first satellite, was launched on October 4th, 1957 giving impetus to the rush for other countries to put satellites in space. The radio signals emitted were used to pinpoint locations of submarines by the US Navy; thus, it was the birth of the global positioning system.
- Much of the world’s growth in technology began in the aviation field. The desire for airplanes to fly more efficiently, achieve longer distances, and to be able to reach higher altitudes started with the military but applied to civilian transport too.
- Since the beginning of time, man could only imagine what it would be like to look upon the earth from the clouds. The magic of flight introduced the ability to capture the beauty of our planet and its varied terrain in movies and photographs.
- A little over a hundred years ago, if a business in Europe wanted to sell their products in another country, it would be a challenge. It would either take a long sea voyage or a tedious cross-country ride on whatever means were available. Now, with the ability to hop a plane, they can fly around the world within hours. Businesses can be considered international, boosting their profits, which in turn creates more jobs for their local community.
