</noinclude>
<!-- 5. Choose 3 historical figures in aviation who have had an impact on aviation history. Detail their role and importance in aviation history. Some possible figures include: Leonardo da Vinci, Daniel Bernoulli, Sir George Cayley, Otto Lilienthal, Gustave Whitehead, Octave Chanute, Orville & Wilbur Wright<ref name=wright>The Wright brothers are one historical character</ref>, Glen Hammond Curtiss, or Amelia Earhart. -->
The requirement does not specify how to detail their role and importance, but a short written or oral report should suffice, although visual depictions, blog posts etc would also be acceptable. Here are links to the Wikipedia articles on each pioneer, which is a good starting point for further investigation:
 
*[[W:Leonardo da Vinci|Leonardo da Vinci]]: a man of diverse talents. He conceptualised flying machines like a helicopter that if built, would be pretty close to operational. 
*[[W:Daniel Bernoulli|Daniel Bernoulli]]: Swiss math and physics pioneer born in 1700. His work in fluid dynamics established the science behind how a aircraft wing can get lift, over 100 years before the principles were successfully applied to flight.
*[[W:Sir George Cayley|Sir George Cayley]] an Englishman who in around 1799 made significant break throughs in aviation science. Designed first successful human glider. Discovered the four aerodynamic forces of flight weight, lift, drag, thrust and cambered wings, basis for the design of the modern airplane. Called the father of aviation by some. 
*[[W:Otto Lilienthal|Otto Lilienthal]]
*[[W:Gustave Whitehead|Gustave Whitehead]]
*[[W:Octave Chanute|Octave Chanute]]
*[[W:Wright Brothers|Orville & Wilbur Wright]], 
*[[W:Glen Hammond Curtiss|Glen Hammond Curtiss]]
*[[W:Amelia Earhart|Amelia Earhart]]
