Commercail planes
The history of planes started with early experiments in gliders and airships in the 19th century,
but it wasn’t until 1903 that the Wright brothers made the first successful powered flight.
Their tiny plane, the Wright Flyer, flew for just 12 seconds, covering 37 meters, but it proved
that controlled, powered flight was possible. From there, planes evolved rapidly—biplanes in World War
I, faster and more durable monoplanes in World War II, and eventually jet engines that transformed aviation
in the mid-20th century. Today, modern planes are sleek, fuel-efficient, and capable of flying thousands of kilometers nonstop.
Commercial planes started becoming popular in the 1920s and 1930s, carrying passengers and mail over long distances.
Over time, models like the Boeing 747, Airbus A320, and Concorde revolutionized air travel with bigger capacity, faster speeds,
and more comfort, making flying a common and convenient way to travel around the world.

Fighter jets
Fighter jets are military planes designed for speed, agility, and combat in the sky.
They first appeared in World War I as faster, armed planes used to fight other aircraft,
and by World War II, they had become powerful machines with advanced guns, rockets, and
better maneuverability. Modern fighter jets, like the F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II, and
the Russian Su-57, use stealth technology, supersonic speeds, and high-tech sensors to dominate the skies.
These jets have evolved from simple dogfighters to high-tech air superiority machines capable of striking
targets far away with precision. They play a crucial role in defending countries, testing new aviation tech,
and sometimes even influencing the designs of commercial planes with their aerodynamics and engines.
