摘要:Humankind’s first step embarking on the adventure of conquering air and space was planted in antiquity through the story of Daedalus and his son Icarus. The Greek myth states that the protagonists were able to escape from their confinement on the island of Crete using wings Daedalus made by affixing bird feathers together with wax. By this epic action, the two became the first humans able to achieve the sought-after goal of flight and, therefore, are considered aeronautical pioneers.
