We wouldn't have become sentient due to no ability to make fire, as it incentivized intelligence. The ocean is a bit too hostile to allow for any sentience to develop, only way is for us to grow two legs and then walk on land.

You didn't mention the Wright brothers big idea that made their success possible.

Few extra WWI plane facts: Pilots had to where multiple layers of coats and such in order to stay warm. They would fly at heights that are actually illegal to fly at today in America without extra oxygen. Furthermore, the guns being on top of the planes were not always used by a second person. For many planes, the pilot would have to stand up out of his pilot sit, control the plane with his legs, and fire his machine gun in short burst. The clip (actually not called a clip) in the machine guns can be emptied in less than a minute. If he emptied it, they would have to change the clip for second and last one, with process that is A LOT more complicated than it you may imagine. Also, the cockpits were super small. Like child size small.

März 1944 Hersteller: Gothaer Waggonfabrik Stückzahl: 3 bekannte Prototypen Topspeed: 977 km/h lenght: 7,47 m Motortype: Junkers Jumo 004 First flight: 1. March 1944 Manufacturer: Gothaer Waggonfabrik Quantity: 3 known prototypes It was mostly made out of wood cause of resource shortages. If it came out a few years earlier, the allied forces, especialy the brits would have been in great trouble. I once saw a documenty about the plane and they testet it for its stealth abilities. The brits would have something like a minute to react after it shows up on radar, and the Horton is way to fast and manuverable for the spitfire. Sorry for any bad english, i am from Austria :D

[@craniusdominus8234]

Dude... there's an entire stage of aviation history missing from this documentary. The GLIDERS. You simply cannot go from the Montgolfier brothers to the Wright brothers and skip Otto Lillenthal.

It actually took a remarkably short amount of time unless you're going all the way back to the beginning. The Wright Brothers first flew in 1903. By 1969 we landed on the moon. That's 66 years. Of course we're still making advancements to this day so there's no end in sight but if you were going to use any event as the seminal event in aviation, it might as well be the lunar landing.

[@Brugar18]

Could've added something with Leonardo Da Vinci. He accurately covered all the theory about aerodynamics and how they work, also he even tried it to prove it in practice by making a prototype helicopter that would've been piloted similar to the bicycle and due to the lack of force needed he couldn't but he was basically few centuries ahead of the time

Thats actually a good one. Native americans and far east siberians would have more similarities, although they would still be vulnerable to european diseases. And once the european powers entered America, and then the Russian Empire expanded all the way across Siberia, they would meet. Alaskian and Canadian demographics and culture would be different, as it would have more russian blood in it. Maybe Alaska would even remain russian, and there could be some disputes with Canada as the russians might wanted to expand even further in. But due to the remotness of said land bridge if it existed, I'm not sure it would change much of history in regards to World War I and II. Until the Cold War that is.

Australian Lawrence Hargrave, who incidently invented the type of rotary piston engine commonly used by LeRhone, achieved powered flight in a large manned box kite like vehicle before the end of the 19th century.

Santos Dummond built the first plane that could take off on his own, the 14-bis, in 1906, which he flew in the middle of Paris. I get that the validity of his claims is mixed, but the fact that you didn't even point him out, at least to give him credit for this, is very disappointing.

[@petervilla5221]

The Wrights built the self-powered Flier I in 1903, three years before Dumont. There were witnesses there too.

[@noname117spore]

The Flyer I used a headwind to take off in 1903. But the 1904 Flyer II initially did not use wind or a catapult to takeoff. Just countering the next likely argument by the Dumont supporter here.

+Vasting Someone's a little sensitive. It's a basic historical fact that he glossed over. If he was discussing Nuclear bombs and missed someone in the same vein as Oppenheimer or radios and missed Enrico Fermi, you can bet the Americans and Italians would be peeved. Also flight/history buffs are responding, not just Brazilians. No need to take things so seriously. It's just a video.

Sensitive? Good joke. Look how pissed these favela dwellers are. And no, the comment section would not be like this zoo for Oppenheimer lmao.

[@flybeep1661]

PITCH, YAW and ROLL. ALL THREE, flying is controlling ALL THREE. Santos Dumont did NOT control ALL THREE. If you argue that to be flying does not mean controlling all three planes of movement than you might as well add other half assed attempts before Dumont. Usually it's the Brazilians only who bring up Dumont and want to tinker with the established norms of what constitutes flying in order to have their man as first.

Santos Dumont was the true father or Aviation, change my bloody mind.

[@Meirstein]

The No. 6 airship flew 17 years after La France. The 14-bis was built 3 years after the first Wright Flyer, and was of a monumentally inferior design. Consider your mind changed.

[@ragnarokstravius2074]

@@Meirstein 14-Bis, the self propelled vehicle that flew in front of hundreds of people, gave Dumont 100k of French money (francs?). Again, better than a catapulted glider.

[@Meirstein]

All of the Wright Flyers were powered, not gliders. The Wright Flyer III, built a year BEFORE the 14-bis, was able to fly in a 25 mile circle. The 14-bis couldn't fly the length of field in a straight line without crashing multiple times because it had a useless and dead-end control system. Putting wheels on a plane does not mean you invented it.

[@dr.thomassmith3497]

Aviation is powered flight, The Wright brothers first flight (Airplane, the main Aviation vehicle) was on 1903, while Dumont was too late and his powered Airplane set off in 1906. Wright brothers are the fathers of aviation, not Dumont.

[@cassianoneto1553]

Meirstein he talked about Gustave Whitehead on the video, so why not talk about Santos Dumont, who actually has fotos of his flights and many witnesses?
