Exhilarating Aviation Focused Sites!...

ENJOY discovering these “informative, educational and adventurous” aviation focused sites!

Aviation is the design, development, production, operation, and use of aircraft, especially heavier-than-air aircraft.

In 1799 Sir George Cayley set forth the concept of the modern airplane as a fixed-wing flying machine with separate systems for lift, propulsion, and control. Early dirigible developments included machine-powered propulsion (Henri Giffard, 1852), rigid frames (David Schwarz, 1896), and improved speed and maneuverability (Alberto Santos-Dumont, 1901).

While there are many competing claims for the earliest powered, heavier-than-air flight, the most widely-accepted date is December 17, 1903 by the Wright brothers. The Wright brothers were the first to fly in a powered and controlled aircraft. Previous flights were gliders (control but no power) or free flight (power but no control), but the Wright brothers combined both, setting the new standard in aviation records. Following this, the widespread adoption of ailerons versus wing warping made aircraft much easier to control, and only a decade later, at the start of World War I, heavier-than-air powered aircraft had become practical for reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and even attacks against ground positions.

We’ve searched for Websites that provide an alternative to your typical online aviation focused related search results. From the enthusiastic to the scientific – it’s all here.

We’ll present some lesser known Internet sites that provide everything from general aircraft focused Websites to industry topics to educational resources and much more. Explore amazing cloud riding machine images on-line, today!

There are fewer than 20 Websites on this page & they’re sorted A-Z for easy navigation. As we continue to add to our listing, we’ll add pages and organize logically. These pages will only contain links to Websites containing “quality” online resources offering an alternative to the “corporate type” Aviation Internet sites.

Finding smaller sites that offer limited distribution aerospace articles, tips, techniques, images, web-based gadgets and related aviation focused media - can be difficult. Many of these “hard-to-find” sites were created out of someone’s enthusiasm for a particular model or classification of specialized transport.

Like Pooler-Georgia-HOMEPAGE, these sites often contain tidbits of valuable information, breath-taking images, products or services – that simply can’t be found on the major "commercial aviation” type Websites.

Because the Internet is filled with large corporations trying to sell you mass produced products & services and generic space travel & air transportation data - these smaller “more personable” Websites - often won’t get high rankings at the search engines.

This doesn’t mean the big guys deliver the specialized “niche” information you’re looking for - but it does mean you’re forced to look through dozens of search page results to find unique helicopter, jet turbine or propeller powered aircraft articles, news, organizations, and other relavant information.

Aviation Focused Websites

• Aviation for Kids

AVIATION FOR KIDS is not as much about Aviation as is about Education. It is not as much about Science and Technology as it is about Parenting. Initially, this site intention was to be an example of how can you motivate children to learn science through aviation technology. In time, it became a guide in using project based and interdisciplinary learning in your children education.
