Abstract
Nowadays, the aircraft has become a very important part of human life. The invention of the aircraft is a shining point in human civilization. During the development of aircraft, there have been significant changes in aircraft’s appearance, power systems, design theories, and applications. In order to provide a clearer understanding of the development process of aircraft and lay the groundwork for future development of the aircraft, this article reviews the three important stages in the development of aircraft and elaborates on the development of aircraft from the perspectives of structural changes, theoretical updates, and applications. While introducing the development process, this article emphasizes the difficulties at each stage and the measures to solve them. In a hundred years of development, human beings have evolved from relying solely on the experience and imitation of birds in the early stages to developing and applying aerodynamics and then combining theory and practice to design.
