Hi, Kitos. Could you look at it? Thankssssssss
The invention of diverse transportation facilities has contributed to the alteration of human life sufficiently, but in my opinion the most beneficial one is airplane, because it has made people’s living way more convenient and faster.
Certainly, other transportation vehicles like car, bus, train etc. have also facilitated our lives, but it stands to reason an airplane is the hugest achievement due to its part in people’s lives. First of all, people can get to a destination regardless relief. We can travel by airplane from one hemisphere to another over mountains, oceans and deserts, whereas other transportation facilities are limited to only one kind of relief. For example, train, car and bus are overland transports, while ship and tanker are water transports. Even ancient people foresaw usefulness of this kind of locomotion and tried out different ways, which is more obvious in Greek mythology depicting the attempts of Ikar and Dedal to fly away from an island using artificial wings made of resin and feathers. Second, it is not very sensitive to weather conditions. The only hindrance may be storm; it can convey passengers and cargo in hot, rain and snow without any damage. You do not even feel what the weather is in the countries that you passing through.
Moreover, an airplane is the fastest transportation means, especially after the invention of supersonic jets, which is a very important factor in today’s fast-pace/ hectic world. It is ordinary for businessmen to wake up in one country and have a meeting in another, or to take off from Paris at 11 o’clock in the morning and arrive in New York at 8 o’clock in the morning of the same day. Now people do not have to waste their days and months on travel. The usage of airfreight allows people to get urgent aid during calamities, and enjoy different perishable commodities from all over the world.
Thus, by inventing the first airplane White brothers have served a huge service to mankind and made up the most useful transport means on the earth. They made our planet ‘smaller’ with this achievement.
By the way, what’s difference between transportation facility and transport facility? I faced two versions …
