The aviation industry has seen numerous developments in recent years. However it has been tainted by disasters such as the two Malaysian airplanes.

However, despite these and other developments, the aviation industry suffered a blow in March 2014 when the Malaysian airline lost its MH370 Airbus which has not been found up to now. Again the Malaysian MH17crashed on 17 July 2014 after being shot down by pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine, killing all 283 passengers and 15 crew on board.
Evolution of the aviation industry
the early planes
On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright
piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in
North Carolina. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. Three
more flights were made that day with
Orville's brother Wilbur piloting the record flight lasting 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet.

Wilbur and Orville Wright were American inventors and
pioneers of aviation. In 1903 the Wright brothers achieved the first
powered, sustained and controlled airplane flight; they surpassed their
own milestone two years later when they built and flew the first fully
practical airplane.
