Aircraft Carrier- Then and Now

Eugene Ely takes his Curtiss pusher airplane off from the deck of USS Birmingham on 14 November 1910. It was the first airplane takeoff from a warship.


THEN: Eugene Ely flew for two miles before landing on a Willoughby Spit beach. It was a big success and so they decided to continue experiment. But this time, a plane had to land on a ship. It happens on 18 January 1911, Eugene Ely lands with the same plane on USS Pennsylvania, making this first landing on a warship in history and a great historical event.
NOW: US Navy’s new Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System
