Aviation
To soar with the birds has been mans dream since the Neolithic era. Centuries of studies and experiments precede the first successful flight. Only until the beginning of the 20th century have we accomplished flight in a heavier-than-air craft. Throughout the past century of evolution, aviation has acquired a responsibility much greater then ever conceived. The utilization spectrum of aviation expands from air combat and dogfights to shipping mail and cargo. With such versatility, these aircraft's have contributed to augmenting the fast paced lives we already live. Air transport has contributed to the global expansion of our economy, leisure in our society, and influenced our government to diversify. The portrayal of aviation has impacted our society on three stages: socially, politically and economically. Leonardo de Vinci had begun drawing blueprints of a flying machine in the 15th century. At that time, human flight had nevermore been contemplated beyond a dream. Practicality worked against Leonardo, however his thoughts were quite contemporary by today's standards being how his drawings resemble those of modern aircraft. Towards the end of the 19th century and into the begin

Living 1,000 miles from family wasn't nearly as far, taking only a few hours by plane. Beforehand travel time was longer and not as efficient. Air transport became more affordable and practical for shipping goods, sending mail, or transportation. Companies were now capable of shipping products world wide, dramatically increasing the amount of imports and exports. Large supplies of products shipped worldwide decreased the price of merchandise (supply and demand). The primary responsibilities of the FAA are to regulate the air commerce in order to assist its development and safety. They must also develop civil aviation and national systems of airports assuring a navigable airspace within the U.S. and regulated air traffic. Airplanes are required to pass an annual inspection that certifies the airplane is FAA approved. These "police officers" of the skies are crucial for maintaining a safe environment for people to fly recreationally or commercially.
