It was envisaged to fly using the thrust of the rocket, coupled with the power of the kite. Unfortunately, the rocket **, Wanhu also gave his life for this.

At the moment, only rockets can send people into space. Based on this standard, the earliest attempt to fly to the sky should be about 600 years ago. According to the research of Western scholars, Wan Hu was the first person in the world who wanted to use rockets to fly.

Wanhu took into account the rising power of the kite to fly forward, which few people could have imagined. In honor of Wan Hu, the International Astronomical Union named a crater on the moon after this ancient Chinese.

It should be true; Because it has been recorded in many books, and some models that are particularly similar to flying machines have been unearthed in ancient tombs before.

This legend is true, because the ancient people also tried to fly many times, and I dug up the flying machine in Sanxingdui before.

In the historical records and legends of some ancient peoples, there are indeed flying machines. However, there is no evidence to prove whether it is true or false.
