I can I just mention Richard Rutan and Jeana Yeager, who made the first circumnavigation of the globe in Voyager back in 1987. Seems like only yesterday. I think that demonstrates just how far aviation really come in a 100 years.

urmmmm, enterprise E try 300-400 years in the future.
100 years and your looking at about the phoenix by star treks timeline, maybe towards the NX01.

For those who are 'un-trekised'

The Phoenix is 2063 and the first Enterprise (the current series) is set around 2152. That's about 100 years before Kirk and crew. Grin

I do believe Copernicus had somthing to do with aviation...

Well......maybe Picard was taking a visit to Romulus and got sucked into a time vertex which sent him to 2100 which caused a big fuss with the humans and the humans destroyed the crew and named the enterprise as a 2100 ship........ Tongue

Copernicus? Did everyone miss my post about Bernoulli? Surely you have heard of the Bernoulli Principle? It's how wings work.

well close enough:)
something tells me they will be struggling to create an impulse drive by that time, let alone a warp drive(which theoretically is possible)(but very unlikely)
there is another ship in between phoenix and enterprise, it looks a bit like the NX01 but i cant remember its name, NX1a or something like that

How about Newton?

He created the theories of Gravity, and other suff that pertained to the space program Wink

The way I see it, Bernoulli's Principle is an excercise in fluid dynamics. It's often used to demonstrate how an aerofoil section works but he was not particularly interested in flight himself. The same goes for Sir Isaac Newton. Both were scientists & mathemeticians, not pioneer aviators. An Englishman named Horatio F. Phillips made the first scientific experiments with aerofoil sections in a "wind box" & patented his Aerocurves - 1884 and 1891. http://www.ctie.monash.edu.au/hargrave/phillips.html
Quote:

He built his first human-carrying machine, with 20 lifting surfaces, in 1904, and was able to make at least one short hop of 50 feet. His 1907 machine had four banks of 50 wings each and an 8 foot propeller. It was in this machine that Phillips made a powered, although uncontrolled, flight of about 500 feet.

The man generally credited for using the first successful aerofoil sections to actually fly is Otto Lilenthial. http://home.t-online.de/home/LilienthalMuseum/e213.htm
I read somewhere the Wright Brothers used his theories for their own experiments.

Sorry. I ment Bernoulli. Sometimes I get those guys mixed up. Roll Eyes
