Quick Write Both the Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtiss were heavily involved with bicycles Quick Write Both the Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtiss were heavily involved with bicycles before taking up flight. What similarities do you see between bicycles, early motorcycles, and early airplanes? Chapter 2, Lesson 2

Rotary Engines Ø Rotary engines used circulating air, rather than water, as a coolant Rotary Engines Ø Rotary engines used circulating air, rather than water, as a coolant Ø The Seguins placed the engine’s cylinders in a radial, or round, pattern radial Ø They fitted each cylinder with a fin to draw out the heat as the plane flew Ø With these changes, engines became more efficient and their weight dropped Chapter 2, Lesson 2

Helicopters Ø Helicopters are different from other aircraft in two important ways: Ø First, Helicopters Ø Helicopters are different from other aircraft in two important ways: Ø First, they don’t have fixed wings—they have rotating wings Ø Second, they take off and land vertically Chapter 2, Lesson 2 Courtesy of Branger/Getty Images

Helicopters Ø The wings of helicopters, like those of other aircraft, must be in Helicopters Ø The wings of helicopters, like those of other aircraft, must be in constant motion Ø Helicopters have rotors—another name for rotors propellers Ø Rotors are made up of blades, each of which acts as a wing, and as the blades rotate, they lift the helicopter Ø Helicopters are also known as rotary-wing aircraft Chapter 2, Lesson 2

Manned Helicopters Ø In 1842 W. H. Phillips got a model helicopter with a Manned Helicopters Ø In 1842 W. H. Phillips got a model helicopter with a steam engine into the air Ø In 1907 Frenchman Louis Bréguet flew one, as did his countryman Paul Cornu Ø In 1909 Americans Emile and Henry Berliner also built and piloted a helicopter Ø All these men faced one common problem: helicopters are difficult to balance Ø No one would find a solution for 30 years Chapter 2, Lesson 2

American Aviation Pioneers Ø While some aircraft pioneers were achieving fame as inventors, others American Aviation Pioneers Ø While some aircraft pioneers were achieving fame as inventors, others were breaking barriers as pilots Ø Those barriers ranged from distance to altitude to gender and race Ø The early 20 th century was a time when all kinds of records could be broken Chapter 2, Lesson 2

The Vin Fiz Flyer Ø Could Calbraith Perry Rodgers fly across the United States The Vin Fiz Flyer Ø Could Calbraith Perry Rodgers fly across the United States in 30 days?
