FROM KITTY HAWK TO CONCORDE... AND BEYOND
1 x 52’
"On December 17th, 1903, on a clear, cold, frosty morning in North Carolina, Orville Wright got airborne for the very first time in man's history, in a powered aeroplane. It was an event that lit a fuse in man's technological evolution.
From that moment on there has been a continuous pressure to go further and faster and higher.
Within a little over 20 years men were engaged in aerial combat. Within 20 they'd flown across the Atlantic. Within 40 years they had broken the sound barrier. And so it has gone on.
Today, we are looking at the creation of the space plane that can soar effortlessly into the stratosphere.
This programme tells the story of that amazing evolution ... from Wright Brothers to Space plane, in a 100 years".
