Men first went up into the air in balloons. These are big bags, and they are filled with gas. Hydrogen is a useful gas for balloons. It is lighter than air. Helium is also lighter than air, but it costs a lot of money. So balloons were usually filled with hydrogen. Balloons have to fly with the wind as they have no engines to drive them against it. Later, men made airships. These were balloons with engines, but they were not round. They were long, and the engines were at the back. They were also filled with hydrogen and some of them caught fire bemuse the hydrogen escaped and the engines heated it. Then the airship was completely burnt in a few seconds. Aircraft with wings now take people across the world. Powerful engines drive these machines across the sky. Some of the engines are like the engines of cars, but they are more powerful. There is another kind of engine which we call the jet engine. An English engineer invented the jet engine. In May 1941 his new engine was fixed in an aircraft, and the aircraft flew quite well. At the same time the Germans were also building a jet engine, but neither country told the other, of course. Jet engines are very powerful. Usually two, three or four are enough for an aeroplane; but some big aircraft have six. Anyone in a moving jet plane can feel the power of the engines. Jet planes can travel faster than sound( Sound travels at about 1100 feet a second. That is about 760 miles an hour. ). As a flying jet plane leaves its noise behind it,we do not hear it until it has gone. Summarize the main points of this article. 人类一直渴望像鸟儿一样飞翔，起初人们通过气球飞行，但气球没有动力系统只能顺风飞行，后来人们发明了飞艇，其尾部装有发动机。现在人们乘坐飞机环游世界，喷气式发动机问世在之后，飞机可以超音速飞行，人类利用自己的聪
