Air Transport - Passenger In the early 1900’s, Wilbur and Orville Wright brothers had a vision to fly one day and dream of building a full size flying machine. On December 17, 1903 they reached their goal and flew for the first time in Kitty Hawk sand dunes of North Carolina. This was not the first time they tested their invention though, they had several attempts before-hand. Their obsession over flight drove them to make a breakthrough, a world changing event. Air travel has revolutionized global transportation by dramatically reducing the time needed to travel great distances. Journeys across nations or oceans that might have taken weeks or months can now be made in a matter of hours. With large numbers of people traveling in airplanes, air transportation has become a major part of the world's transportation system. Market, Product, Customer, Competition, Companies, Economics and External factors are the main framework of air transport industry. The Wright brothers saw that the airplane, even though unstable could still be controlled. This was the same principles they used for building their Bicycles. This drive led them to producing each of the technologies they needed to make them fly. Their invention of the airplane was one of the greatest inventions ever produced. Wilbur Wright's need to have his dream fulfilled of making a flying machine was accomplished. They then patented there plane on May 22, 1906, U.S. Patent 821,393. They're market was simple, the military. The military would help them distribute their invention because it would show how useful it was. By World War I there was now a need for aircraft to be used in action. The airplane was adopted by many others in many countries. It was later developed not only for military use, but for commercial cargo and passenger air transport. On account of the Wright brothers' invention, now much of the
