This is a list of aviation-related events from 1904: ==Events== * The Wrights apply for patents for their flying machine in Germany and France. * Frenchman Robert Esnault-Pelterie flies a glider based on the Wright brothers' glider designs but employing ailerons rather than wing-warping for control. His glider is the first full-sized aircraft to employ ailerons.〔 * The French Navy disbands its balloon branch.〔Layman 1989, p. 15.〕 * During the Russo-Japanese War, the Imperial Japanese Army uses two Japanese-designed kite balloons during the Siege of Port Arthur (which begins on 1 August); they make 14 successful flights. It is Japans first combat use of military aviation of any kind.〔〔Francillon, René J., ''Japanese Aircraft of the Pacific War'', Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Institute Press, 1979, ISBN 0-87021-313-X, p. 29.〕 * At Vladivostok, Imperial Russian Army engineer Captain Fyodor A. Postnikov and his crews make frequent ascents in spherical balloons and a kite balloon from Russian ships, and the armored cruiser ''Rossia'' tests various forms of air-sea communications from balloons and the use of shipboard balloons for directing gunfire against shore targets and in detecting naval mines.〔 * The Royal Swedish Navy commissions ''Ballondepotfartyg Nr 1'' ("Balloon Depot Ship No. 1"), a barge designed to operate one kite balloon. She is the first watercraft designed and built specifically for aeronautical purposes.〔Layman 1989, p. 106.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1904 in aviation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
