W.A.L.T: Write a expository piece of writing, that reflects my learning about how planes have changed from the first plane invented, till now.
Planes are a type of transportation device that transport people/cargo to many places around the world in only hours or sometimes a day. These planes are engine powered and can go up to 12 kilometres in the air.
Back to 1903 the first ever plane was made, it was in flight for only 12 seconds. Now planes are in flight for hours. The reason why Wilbur and Orville Wright had the motivation to build this plane was because they had an interest in the glider flight in Germany 1890. They tested the plane at Kitty Hawk North Carolina on the 14 of December 1903, but the plane stalled during take off.

Wilbur and Orville Wright worked at a bicycle sales and repair shop, this experience helped them build the first ever plane.

From 1903 till now there have been many changes in planes, how high the planes goes, how long the plane is in the air for etc. All these changes have made a difference with the world and people. The first plane made had the right wing 4 inches shorter for the weight of the engine. Now there are over 39,000 planes and all of them are working and made perfectly, with no mistakes or failures. Features that planes have now is that they carry people, they have a roof and many more that have changed from the first plane
