This video portrays a brief history of aviation in 3D animation. While there are many contributions to aviation that could not be included, this video shows many of the substantial advancements that propelled aviation to what it has become today.
Created by Aaron Bristow
Produced by Adam Evans
Additional 3D and texture creations by Rob Guest, Preston Powell and Paris Miller

In 1910, Henri Coanda designed and built an aircraft known as the Coandă-1910, which he displayed publicly at the second International Aeronautic Salon in Paris that year. That was the first jet-engine.

[@uvuaviation]

Thanks. The 3D created with Maya, textures with Photoshop, and the compositing and text was created using After Effects.

[@uvuaviation]

@PeetPeeet We would love to do a longer version with more inclusions. There are so many great aviation stories and innovations.

[@xZachxxxx]

What a great video! Makes me sad that I'll never be able to pursue my lifelong dream of being a pilot. :(

[@s787783]

I love the music in the vid!

[@PierreLeduc1]

Hope you enjoy the reading as the documentation is really quite interesting, as are the flights conducted in both the US and Germany in light of the then upcoming 100th year of flight celebrations.

[@srjscott]

Awesome Work! Well done. For all those folks picking it apart, we'll be waiting to see your version with the parts you feel are missing.

[@kittybirg]

What a terrific video! I was happy to see Lilienthal, as well as some names I'd never even heard of -- more to research!

[@wearetheninjasofpie]

I watched this in my aviation class at high school the other day, I thought it was great.

[@uvuaviation]

@srjscott Thanks for the kind comments. It's nice to see some positive people out there.

[@Duuftj]

great! I'm posting this on my blog!!!!

[@Josuig]

I miss the Bell_XS-1, the first plane breaking the sound barrier and the Concorde, here, which along with Tupolev the only supersonic planes for civilian use. They were able to cover Paris/London-New York in under four hours.

[@uvuaviation]

@pixelkatten All of the models were created with as much accuracy as possible. Most have less detail because the actual subject had less detail. With that said, more time was spent on the "UVU model" because we can reuse it for many other trainings such as engine systems, instruments and more. That extra detail isn't really seen in this video because it is on the inside of the aircraft. There was no intention to make our models better than the others, but that wouldn't have been a bad idea.

[@uvuaviation]

@Duuftj That would be great. Thanks!

[@winnmicro]

As a graphic designer and aviator ... I loved it. Great job

[@nesterhaus]

Great video missed the shuttle myself-Thank you for sharing the video!

[@ulisesarcia]

@mhoeltken Alberto Santos Dumont was not included either but there is no enough space on youtube severs for a truly thorough aviation history video.

[@timothyjohns3561]

FANTASTIC production. Thanks for making this. Would love to see the MkII version with the inclusion of people such as Sir Charles Kingsford Smith... and Chuck Yeager etc...

[@mango1987max]

Pretty cool video, I watched it like 3 times in a row... Very inspirational :D

[@Surbrook]

Where's Yuri Gagarin?

[@darklunaforceheh5605]

love this video.great animation

[@bencoleman1994]

AWESOME! definitely going to use in my aviation project

[@uvuaviation]

@ciroanimau Thanks for the compliment. We never thought it would do this well, or that viewers would get so passionate about who is included. Maybe a longer video could be made down the road.

[@monoface5]

素晴らしい！

[@robguestusername]

Actually, It showed an example of the first jet engine, invented by Frank Whittle (I even painted a picture of him on the wall behind the engine). It was the brass machine unveiled inside the RAF college.

[@prabhurajd6169]

Excellent

[@MrSamthegr8]

amazing

[@lucienebr]

Many people are missing in the video... But, it's a short video, not a movie! Aviation is so impressive... I'll be a pilot in my next life... In my current life I was chosen to be a mere physics' teacher... LOL

[@pymete]

Thank you very much and congratulations. I miss the Concorde, space shuttle, space walk, and helicopters too. Anyway fantastic work.

[@dronessential]

beautiful. simply beautiful. thanks

[@rumpunchman]

This is an amazing depiction of the beginings of Flight. I know and have seen a very early plane in Alberta in a Museum that is around if not before the Wright Brothers Plane.....Do not remember the Mans name or the name of his plane, But is a buried piece of Canadaian Flight History !

[@uvuaviation]

@aviationman77 Thanks for the compliment.

@Cargospotter I completely agree!! This vid is AWESOME!!

[@tannerrytube]

@Apocalypto1414 - See "Frank Whittle" at 1:43 and the "DeHavilland Comet" at 2:10

[@stime06]

Best Video i've seen in a long time!

[@hardballprofessor]

This is just a great video! I wish people would do less complaining and more creating like this.

[@RoadWearyPilot]

Very Cool, nice job on the animation. To you people who are complaining about the omissions, create your own if you think you can do better.

[@stycotl]

very cool animation, aaron.

[@hardballprofessor]

@semli And the slingshots to the rockses!

[@uvuaviation]

@sjoshs1 Those are very kind words. Thank you sjoshs1!

[@PierreLeduc1]

Additionnaly, it should be mentionned that Mr Weisskopf (his name before he came to America) was considering himself as the humble followers of the many he recognized as having preceeded/inspired him in fulfilling what was then one of Mankind's dreams.

[@pmaci56]

it's missing Henri Giffard's drigible on 24 september 1852 he made the first powered and controlled flight

[@TheNecropolis20]

@tarduco thats that airport in rio de janerio i seen it in the super nintendo version of simcity.

[@Gadzooksaviationservices]

Love it

[@uvuaviation]

@3bram72 Thank you

[@tymntube]

@mahoolywazit I guess you can't include everything. However, the X-1 is a glaring omission.

[@pavelavietor1]

hello, well done, i will be st/by for # 2 and do not forget to include Jury Gagarin first in the Cosmos Chuck Jegar and others.You have done a very creative work. thanks God speed

[@PierreLeduc1]

Side note : Gustav Whitehead related text found in Wikipedia has been subjected to quite a few modifications from a single individual who obviously is unconfortable with Mr Whitehead achievement.

[@samwhamm]

Beautiful

[@mhoeltken]

@ulisesarcia my point, exactly.

[@sleepyturd]

so beautiful and brilliant!

[@herrjonna2007]

really beautiful, but if you are going to make an other one... please include the concorde ;-) Loved it!

[@Ebra72]

Awesome video...

[@uvuaviation]

@haitokiashi Thanks you

[@jt2007jt2007]

Alberto Santos Dumont?

[@uvuaviation]

@derDon1234 Hey thanks for the kind words!

[@PierreLeduc1]

In the interest of complete rigorous history, Gustav Weisskopf (or Gustav Whitehead) should be included. Not only did he flew (in Connecticut) two years before the brothers but this man was sharing a passion for aviation in a very open way, unlike others whose sole purpose was to attain fame and fortune through patents applications. The very same opposite attitudes are still very prevalent in today's word.

[@mhoeltken]

@lukoh Or Ohain, Junkers, Messerschmitt, Tank, Rutan, Prandtl, Bernoulli, von Braun, Hirth, Bleriot, Horten, Lippisch, Alexejev, Brockhaus, Karman, Focke, Hänle ... There are just too many inspirational characters in aviation for a short video like this, to mention. Plus, it's okay to be biased on national achievements for an american university, I guess. You have to draw a line somewhere.

[@EdigleyAlexandre]

Cadê Santos Dumont?

[@hasucker]

Come on... this is already amazing! Why not make a compilation of ur own and share with us?

[@uvuaviation]

@Cargospotter Hey Thanks!

[@ManualMasters]

That is a really cool video and very informative

[@sgtmajtom06]

Lovely.

[@uvuaviation]

@samwhamm Thank you

[@leonidaduev94]

That's amazing!

[@paulafitzhenry9174]

this was so cool!

[@ClemonsKunkel]

Like the video time line on air travel.

[@5xls]

Very nice.

[@mexgeo86]

Where is CONCORDE?!

[@castefatown]

AMAZING video!Congratulations!

[@VLUQ915]

amazing video!

[@cathares651]

superb, but no one can forget the French Conquette in the sky? Bleriot ever heard? Farman? Neighbor?, Ader? The White Bird? Coste and Bellonte? Mermoz, St Ex?, Daurat?, Latécoère?, Has the Rican, we love them, but they lack culture. friendships Richard

[@uvuaviation]

@Caskirnov Please tell more.

[@uvuaviation]

@castefatown Thank you

[@TonyAirlines]

No DC-3?

[@lsh2429516]

I Love it~!!!!!!

[@cljohnston108]

Where's the Space Shuttle? One would think that the first vehicle able to transition from orbital to atmospheric flight would be noteworthy.

[@robguestusername]

Yes.

[@mjlmo]

Where is Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho? They conducted the first flight across the South Atlantic Ocean, and also the first using astronomical navigation only, from Lisbon, Portugal, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The video is fine but you missed some very relevant people...

[@FluginVideos]

I love this video ! I've add it to my favorite ! :)

[@imagemode]

Not bad. I missed Chuck Yeagar and the X1 though.

[@FlyFigueiredo]

Where is Santos Dumont and Bartolomeu de Gusmão?

[@BobLefevere]

Strange that only Frank Whittle was mentioned but nothing about the jet age.. and i would have expected Charles Yeager too. Nice video though, albeit somewhat. incomplete.

[@High9231]

Great video!

[@okpepino]

fantastic video !!! is briliant .. but i like think what si name this song .

[@hardballprofessor]

@semli Google Translate...look it up!

[@Anothy]

If Spunik 1 is on there, Voyager 1 should be too since it's now billions of kilometers away.

[@Nobodyknowsitall]

Very creative! If only people knew as for the ''true'' history of aviation during/after ww2... Nonetheless, I dig the work that has gone into this project.

[@laur1976]

Where is Henry Coanda - first jet plane?

[@uvuaviation]

@bbristow22 Thanks

it's MAGIC!!

[@maylaynium]

@grinch8302 true

[@FehPontoCom]

@TheNecropolis20 you mean Galeão Airport?

[@ciroanimau]

Fantastic video, congrats. I just don't understand the absence of Alberto Santos Dumont, but it's just an advertise, right? So, i keep the congrats.

[@High9231]

@xZachxxxx Hey mate, it is never to late! You can always join sport aviation. Today, there are so many ways you can fly. I would fly every aircraft possible, but some years ago my budget allowed only paragliding. I still fly and I am happy I do. Even if you gave me a chance to fly jet fighter I would still wish to share air with bird on my paraglider. Cheers.

[@hhousemd]

where is Yuri Gagarin?

[@uvuaviation]

Thanks, for more history, see an interactive museum we've created about aviation history up in our description.

[@PierreLeduc1]

Oups ! from the following link, It would seems that Mr Weisskopf actual words words to his wife as he came back from his first flight where : "'Mama, we went up!"

[@Quarkshell]

Is that a DA42 at the end?

[@Mattprotasio]

Where is Santos Dumont?
