U.S. Military evolving with Aerospace

When I was doing some search of how military has evolve with Aerospace engineering I came up with this article called "The U.S. Air Force and the American Aerospace Industry: A Soaring Partnership" by John W. Douglass he explains how military and Aerospace have evolve over the years. John writes that the Wright Brothers sold their First world's Aircraft to the US Army in 1909 for $30,000. He also writes that in the
same year the Weight Company made 4 aircraft's a month which made them the biggest aircraft manufacture in the world. In WWI the aircraft helped us by taking photographs of the enemy's trenches and their position. It also helped us with an increased artillery firing that is effectiveness. Other men that had aircraft's were hunting other men with aircraft's. In the late 1930's with President Roosevelt the aircraft production has been increasing. Roosevelt knew that the air power will take a huge roll in the conflict in Europe. In 1942 the US had both the technology and the industrial to built the world's best aircraft in the whole world.


In WWII the United States were victorious because of our aircraft and the force of entering the war. When Japan attacked us in Pearl Harbor they had a aircraft that was the best for air strikes called "Flying Tigers" (P-40). To make the Japanese surrender we had to dropping of atomic bombs with the B-29 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki they surrender on September 2, 1945.

The US Military has been evolving over the years and we entered the Jet Age. The industry has been engaging and building jets. When entering the jet age it led to aircraft called B-58 which can load off supply's, carry troops, and tanks. Aerospace industry was in a race for the jet airline market. The US built an aircraft based on a jet tanker was build for the Air Force. We built a new aircraft that was designed with a smoother, faster ride that has more room extra passengers. The Boeing s 747 was capable to seat 550 people and it as the world most largest commercial jet. With the design of the Boeing 747 later came the L-1011 and the DC-10. In the 1960s the aircraft for people "passenger jets" was the only passenger transportation.
