LOUIS" FROM NEW YORK TO PARIS TEN YEARS AGO— HOW TO BUILD A SCALE MODEL OF LINDY'S PLANE By Jesse Davidson ON MAY 20-21 the entire aviation world commemorates the tenth anniversary of Charles A. Lindbergh's solo flight from New York to Paris. MODEL AIRPLANE NEWS also celebrates this anniversary by presenting plans and instructions for building a replica of this historic plane. * * * Ten years ago a mortal became a god— the god of the skies. Winging his solitary way from New York to Paris on May 20-21, 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh gave to aviation the momentum it had been waiting for, the impetus which only daring, courage and success can give. At the same time there came to a disillusioned people, spiritually starving on a post-war diet of sensationalism and rapidly changing morals, a manna of old fashioned virtue and character which Charles A. Lindbergh embodied, and to this young man a jaded, cynical, money-mad people gave heartfelt thanks for redeeming virtues it had discarded, and made of him a god. Aviation throughout the world was making normal progress during the post-war period when suddenly, it was jerked out of its horse-and-buggy pace.

  • Golden Age of Spaceflight?

    Golden Age of Spaceflight?

    1 Pre-Publication DRAFT When will we see a Golden Age of Spaceflight? Gregg Maryniak1 Executive Director X PRIZE Foundation St. Louis, Missouri Introduction The period of time between the World Wars is often referred to within the flying community as the “Golden Age of Aviation.” During this period of time, aviation changed from a largely experimental activity to a widely accepted means of transportation. Public attitudes towards flying also changed dramatically. Towards the end of this period aircraft such as the DC-3 were developed and deployed. The foundations of the present air traffic control system also were created during this time. In short, aviation began to be a commercially sustainable industry. Human spaceflight marks its 40th anniversary in 2001. It is clear that spaceflight and in particular, human spaceflight have not yet achieved the same large-scale commercial advances in their first 40 years as were seen in aviation. This paper considers the contrasts and parallels between aviation and spaceflight and explores whether some of the same factors that advanced aviation might lead to a Golden Age of Spaceflight in the near future. Parallels between Aviation and Space A customary lament among space advocates is that commercial spaceflight has failed to develop at the pace experienced by aviation. Wildly inappropriate parallels have often been drawn between space developments and aviation history. One example is the reference to the Space Transportation System ( the Space Shuttle) as “the DC-3 of space.” Yet there clearly are parallels between spaceflight and aviation. Both human flight and spaceflight were considered unattainable. Both contained inherent risk.

The Wright brothers made four flights that day. On the last, Wilbur Wright flew for 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet.
