A Century of Flight
Today, 100 years ago, the Wright Brothers launched an airplane in what is considered the first powered flight (though there are voices that say it has been achieved several months before). 66 years later, men walked on the moon. 74 years later, a spacecraft called Voyager was launched that is now some 90 astronomical units or 8.4 billion miles away from the sun. The dream of supersonic travel died shortly before the centennial, but we might see interstellar travel in the future. And on this historic date, Boeing announced to build its first new jet aircraft in 13 years, the 200/250 seats, 8,300 miles 7E7 that is to replace the 757, 767 and to enter the market in 2008 - or aks Airbus and order your plane with similar specifications right today.
