The first hot air balloon to carry people flew in France in 1783.

That was more than 240 years ago, long before airplanes. People floated up into the sky for the very first time.

The Airbus A380 is the biggest passenger plane, with two full floors of seats.

It is like a flying double-decker bus in the sky. This giant plane can carry more than 500 people at once.

Planes have flashing lights so other planes can see them at night.

One wing has a red light and the other has a green light. The lights help pilots know which way each plane is pointing.

A glider is a plane with no engine that rides on the wind.

Gliders have long, smooth wings to catch rising air. They can stay up for a long time without any engine at all.

A hot air balloon floats because the warm air inside is lighter than cool air.

A flame heats the air inside the big balloon. Warm air rises, so the whole balloon gently lifts off the ground.

Helicopters can go straight up, straight down, and even hover in one spot.

The spinning blades on top act like fast wings. That lets a helicopter stay still in the air, like a big buzzing bee.

Airplanes have big wings that help them stay up in the sky.

As a plane speeds forward, air rushing over its wings lifts it up. That is how something so heavy can fly!

The Wright brothers made the first airplane flight.

In 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright flew the first powered airplane. The very first flight lasted only 12 seconds.
