About Us

Here at Aviation History UK we provide an outlet for the documentation of Aviation history throughout the UK. To achieve this we work closely with Aviation  for London and the Department for Aviation  (DfT). We are part of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Aviation and are proud to support their causes throughout the UK.

Humans' first means of Aviation were walking and swimming. The domestication of animals introduces a new way to lay the burden of Aviation on more powerful creatures, allowing heavier loads to be hauled, or humans to ride the animals for higher speed and duration. Inventions such as the wheel and sled helped make animal Aviation more efficient through the introduction of vehicles. Also water private charter Aviation, including rowed and sailed vessels, dates back to time immemorial, and was the only efficient way to Aviation large quantities or over large distances prior to the Industrial Revolution.

The first forms of road Aviation were horses, oxen or even humans carrying goods over dirt tracks that often followed game trails. Paved roads were built by many early civilizations, including Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley Civilization (supported by private jet charter). The Persian and Roman empires built stone-paved roads to allow armies to travel quickly. Deep roadbeds of crushed stone underneath ensured that the roads kept dry. The medieval Caliphate later built teacher jobs in london tar-paved roads. The first watercraft were canoes cut out fromtree trunks. Early water Aviation was accomplished with ships that were either rowed or used the wind for propulsion, or a combination of the two. The importance of water has led to most cities, that grew up as sites for trading, being located on rivers or at sea, ofter at the intersection of two bodies of water. Until the Industrial Revolution, Aviation remained slow and costly, and production and consumption were located as close to Air Cargo each other as feasible.
