The history of aircraft flight power has progressed from the early days of human-powered flight attempts to the modern era of supersonic and hypersonic jets. From the Wright brothers' first successful airplane flight in 1903, powered by a gasoline engine, to the development of turbojets, turboprops, and ramjets, the evolution of aircraft engines has enabled remarkable advancements in speed, range, and efficiency. The pursuit of higher power-to-weight ratios, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions has driven the continuous development of aircraft propulsion systems, shaping the landscape of air travel and enabling feats such as transatlantic flights and space exploration.
