Man-made birds of the 21st century move through the air, enormous lumps of metal 200,000 times heavier than the seagulls that inspired the idea. It's all down to today's engineers who have developed the fundamental ideas of flight first put forward by the Wright Brothers. At the age of 13, air cadets left me longing for the next lesson to find out how powered flight has led to the luxuries we have today; rapid international delivery, worldwide flights to holiday destinations, quick response emergency air services and of course, the use of flight in military defence. It is the impact of flight that fuelled my natural curiosity and desire to study aeronautics.
