The first person in the history of the world to build an airplane, usually a flying machine, is known as the Wright Brothers in 1903
But if you look at ancient texts, you often find that even before the Wright brothers, they built flying tools and machines
According to the books written by late Joseon scholar Shin Kyung-joon and Oh Ju-yeonmunjangjeon High School, a man named Jeongpyeong-gu of Gimje, Jeollabuk-do, made a rain car around 1592-1598 when the Japanese invaded Joseon and used it from July 20 to 27, 1593
According to records, Jeongpyeong-gu, a former military officer, was at a disadvantage in the Second Battle of Jinjuseong Fortress due to the large number of Japanese soldiers and the small number of Korean troops, and made a secret car while trying to escape the precarious situation
The exact structure or shape of the vehicle is unknown, but it is said that it flew in the sky with a hot fire, and there was a risk of falling to the ground without being able to fly properly when there was a severe wind
Jeongpyeong-gu used this secret car to rescue people from a castle in Gyeongsang Province surrounded by Japanese troops, bring food from the outside and distribute it to the people of Jinju Castle, and sometimes carry stones or gunpowder to attack the Japanese Then, Bicha crashed and Jeongpyeong-gu died after being hit by a Japanese gun
And seven days after the battle began, Jinjuseong Fortress was captured by the Japanese army, and about 60,000 Joseon soldiers and people who fought in it were also killed
However, even after Jeongpyeong-gu died, the difference didn’t completely disappear According to Oh Ju-yeon’s Munjang Computer High School, a man named Yun Dal-gyu from Chungcheong-do made a rain car that looks like a swan, and if you fly in the wind, you can go up to 100丈300 meters, but if the wind is too strong, you may fall to the ground
There’s no more specifics on what these vehicles really looked like, so we still have different opinions about the restoration of these vehicles, and we assume that they were roughly primitive hot air balloons and gliders You can see it as a hot air balloon in terms of flying in the sky with fire, and it’s similar to a glider in terms of flying in the wind
I think Jeongpyeong-gu’s car was similar to a hot air balloon, and Yun Dal-gyu’s car was similar to a glider When the Korean Military Academy restored the Vicha, it was made similar to a glider, but it’s a pity that I didn’t think about the possibility that it was similar to a hot air balloon
