Since antiquity, man wanted to rise to the skies and reach the sky. It's a big dream reflected in the myths and legends of almost all civilizations: Greece, China, India ... Icarus and Daedalus escaped from Crete with wings made of feathers and wax. China had your flying Emperor Shun, and India a flying horse of King Vikramaditya. Over the years, myths have evolved into a scientific plans. Leonardo da Vinci tried to develop a heavier-than-air flying machine already in the fifteenth century. The eternal human dream failed to meet only in the twentieth century through the plane brothers Oliver and Wilbur Wright. Their first flight took place in December 1903. Driven by an internal combustion engine machine he broke the ground for several seconds and overcame staggering distance ... 37 meters. Less than 70 years later, on 20 July 1969, manned spaceship Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Launched in the twentieth century, the rapid development of aviation is still ongoing. Although flying and airplanes have become part of everyday life, it continues to fascinate new generations of people associated with aviation - pilots, designers, modellers. Aviation strongly marked its presence also in Bialystok. Białystok Flying Club will soon be celebrated the 70th anniversary of existence.
