Transportation

1) Rail roads back than known as wagon trails was built with wood and carts were dragged by horses but that was in the 1550s in Germany. In 1776 iron was replaced with the wood rails but still had wagons dragged by horses it wasnt until 1789 an englishman William Jessup designed the first wagon flanged wheels which could attatch to the rail road track for better grip. The invention of steam engines brought trains. On February 22, 1804 the locomotive (train) hauled a load of 10 tons of iron 70 mens and 5 extra wagons that went 9 miles. In september 1825 the stockton and Darlington was the first train to carry both goods and passengers.

2) In 1899 Wilbur wright recieved a letter stating that him as well as his brother should create a flying machine. Now and days the flying machine is called an air planes. They would sit and observe birds and see how they fly. In 1900 the wright brothers succesfully tested their 50 pound biplane glider. Then later they started to add on more to make it a much better flying air craft.



3)In 1863 a french writer had came up with the word "helico" for spiral and "pter" for wings, putting those two together comes out to be helicopter. The very first helicopter made was in 1907 by a man named Paul Cornu. But his design ended up not being quit successful. After a french inventor Etienne Oehmichen had built and flew a helicopter 1 kilometer in 1924. There are many invemtors some who succeeded and some who havent. There is a man who is known to be the father of helicopters Igor Sikorsky. But its not because he invented the first one but because he invented the first successful helicopter upon which further ones were invented.



4) Bicycles go back to a very far time like the 1400's where an Italian has created a first sketch of a bicycle. Im gonna maybe around the 1600's is when the bikes started to be made. in 1893 the Wright brothers have opened a bike shop to build and fix them they later than used some of the parts for their plane invention. Bikes were used for along time they were the main transportation for people to get around cars and such were not invented. It wasnt until the about the 1930's when bikes were used more than ever. From about the 1900 to the 1950 there wasnt much of a change to the way bikes looked and were due to the creation of cars.



5)The automobile as we know it as a car was not invented just by a single person or in just one day. They started to have the idea of a motor vehicle from the invention of a bike and how it was powered. As far back as 1769 the first propelled road vehicle known as a military tractor invented by a french Nicolas Joseph Cugnot. He used steam engines to power his vehicles being the first to invent this he was also the first to wreck it into a wall later dying his money and such towards this road cruiser ended making steam engines into steam boilers. In 1885 a German michanical engineer man named Karl benz built the worlds practical automobile powered by internal-combustion engine. On Janruary 29, 1886, Benz recieved the first patent for a gas fueled car. It was a 3 wheeler but then he came up with a 4 wheeler in 1891. Benz & Company, the company started by the inventor, became the world's largest manufacturer of automobiles by 1900.
