Abstract

Flying, higher and faster, has always been a dream of humans all over the world in all ages. In ancient legends and tales of China, Greece, and many other nations, the ability of free flight is the main feature to distinguish Gods from ordinary humans. Besides mythical carriers like auspicious clouds, broomsticks, magic carpet, there are also myths of flying men with feathered wings, such as Icarus in the ancient Greek poetry and Zhen-Zi Lei (means “Son of Thunder,” the little brother of the first King of Zhou Dynasty) in the classical Chinese novel The Investiture of the Gods. According to historical records, Hu Wan in the Ming Dynasty tried to fly with the pull of kites and the thrust of homemade black powder rockets. Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance giant of art and science, designed many human-powered fly machines. Although many such commendable attempts and explorations have gone down in history, all of these failed like blindly groping in the darkness, because the theoretical framework for the science of flight had not been established in those times.
