Abstract
Aviation is the design, development, production, operation, and use or aircraft,
especially heavier-than—air aircraft. Aviation is derived from "avis" - the Latin word
for “bird". No other mode of transportation has had greater impact on the world than
aviation. None has so changed the economic, political, and social traditions of the
world in such a short period of time. The phenomenal growth of the aerospace
industry, the rapid expansion of commercial air travel, the tremendous influence of
aviation on military concepts and international affairs, all have had inescapable and
overwhelming effects on day-to-day living.
