Introduction

Aviation is the youngest generation of the transport of humankind. It is a world driven by passion and thrill, via which humankind fulfilled its greatest dream and conquered the third dimension, that is, height. Although aviation does not in the least trace back traditions such as maritime or railway transportation, among the sub-branches of transport it is primarily aviation that is designed to carry passengers, cargo and mail quickly and safely to any point in the world, to span great distances, and thereby, considerably affect the economic, social, cultural and environmental development of continents, regions and countries.
