The aircraft, like the car, has become an indispensable form of transport and part of everyday life. Yet our airplanes pollute our skies with noise and our planet with carbon dioxide and monoxide. In fact, this is one form of transport we could well do without, except in cases of considerable emergency. Yet the bulk of flights carry passengers to exotic locations and mail and other cargo all over the planet.
Development of aviation led to rockets (although the Chinese invented rockets way back) and eventually to space missions, hence one technology owes a lot to the other.

The aircraft and helicopters are also formidable weapons in time of war and one reason the technology had developed so quickly. Every country fears their neighbour and wants to maintain a fighting force just in case. Until world leaders can settle their differences in a more civilised way, I guess that's how it's going to remain.

Meanwhile, aircraft are beautiful machines and there is nothing to prevent anyone enjoying the exotic lines or purposeful grace of some of the nicest playthings man has crafted. Indeed, they are fun to fly and lest we forget, they extend our capabilities beyond the wildest dreams of our forefathers.
