On October 9, 1890, Clément Ader was the first person to successfully take off from level ground.
His Eole, a steam-powered, bat-winged monoplane, reached a height of around 20cm, flew an alleged distance of 50m – and crashed. This first airplane had one pilot, one passenger and one technician:
Clément Ader himself.
On April 27, 2005, the most ambitious civil aircraft program to date, the Airbus A380, took off from Toulouse Airport for its first official flight. In addition to a Flight crew, a cabin crew and a triple backup computer system, it needs a team of qualified maintenance technicians to ensure its safety.

It is evident: Aviation has developed from a one man show into a highly developed industry with one overall objective - safety.
