Airplane was invented by the Wright brothers 1903. Although some people also say that Shivkar Bapuji Talpade of Mumbai had constructed an unmanned airplane in 1895, eight years before the Wright brothers.

According to a report in a television channel, people release gas during air travel. Therefore, charcoal filters are used to reduce odour in airplanes.

With the help of oxygen masks given to passengers during emergency in the airplane landing, passengers can stay alive for only 15 minutes.
Before 1953, the corners of the airplane windows were used to be square in shape, but after an accident, the windows were made round, because the rounded edges do not resist the wind and it does not put much pressure on the aircraft.
It is said that in 1987, an American man gave Rs 69 lakh INR for lifetime pass, and till 2008 he travelled more than 10,000 times. This resulted in a loss of Rs 1 billion 42 crore to the company, after which the company cancelled the person’s pass.
Two types of food are served to the pilot and co-pilot in the airplane, because they might fall sick after eating the same food. If there’s something wrong with the food, then both the pilot and co-pilot can fall ill, hence the food are different for them.
