Why was the airplane invented the time it did? Why not 10 years later?

Rufina [12.5K]

While many believe that the airplane was invented by the Wright brothers in Kitty Hawk, N.C., the first man to fly was New Zealander Richard Pearse in 1902, eight months before the Wright brothers first flew. Pearse, according to witnesses, flew a length of 50 to 400 yards in a heavier-than-air machine. Pearse's aircraft was the first to use proper ailerons, which allowed the wings to warp and turn the aircraft. Though many credit the invention of airplanes to the Wright brothers, Richard Pearse never reported his inventions because he didn't know there was any interest in flying.

Though the Wright brothers tested many gliders in the early 1900s, none of them counted as an actual aircraft, and the brothers didn't achieve flight until late 1903 with their first plane, the Flyer I. The craft weighed over 600 pounds, and Orville Wright was the first pilot. The craft remained airborne for 12 seconds and traveled a little over 120 feet.

Why was the rena, ssance an important period in europen history.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The renaissance was an important period in European history due to it's great art.

Explanation:

The Renaissance was very important because it laid the "foundation" for the "age of exploration" and eventual 'European global domination'.

It was the age when many great arts were created. Europe was not a dominating in global power, at that time the strongest powers were the middle east, India and China.

At the when Europe saw the renaissance, it was the period of time right before the "age of exploration".

Explain ONE way in which policies to maintain global influence in the United States were similar to the policies to maintain glo

Murljashka [212]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached or further references we can say the following.

One way in which policies to maintain global influence in the United States were similar to the policies to maintain global influence in the Soviet Union during the Cold War was that the United States tries to protect its economic and political interest in other regions of the world, as for example, in the case of the Middle East.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union spread communism over many regions of the world, basically in Eastern Europe and its satellite countries such as Poland Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Bulgaria, Albania, and Romania.

I n a similar way, the United States has a strong influence in different parts of the world, such as in the Persian Gulf and the Arab nations, due basically to oil deposits.
