Many people like to travel by plane. But not many people know the history of planes well.
The first plane flew for the first time in 1903. The flight lasted for a very short time. In the 1910s, people used many planes in wars. Some planes could fly as high as 7,000 meters then. And people never stopped making better planes. In the 1980s, some planes could fly three times faster than sound.
Now, we have very large and safe planes. The largest plane can carry more than 800 people. And every day 5 million people travel by plane.
