In 1783, two French brothers build the first balloon to take people into the air. One hundred and twenty years early, in 1903, the Wright brothers built the first plane with an engine and flied in it. This was in the United States. Then, in 1918, the US Post Office began the first airmail service. Aeroplanes changed a lot in the next thirty years. Then, in 1950s, aeroplanes became many faster because they had jet engines. In 1976, Concorde was building in the UK and France. It is the fastest passenger plane in the world and it can fly at 2500 kilometers an hour, so the journey in London to New York is only four hours. Today, millions of people travel by aeroplane, and it is difficult to think of a world without them.
