Since Charles Taylor, the first aircraft mechanic, assisted in the design, construction, and maintenance of the engine for the Wright Brothers' Flyer in 1903, aviation maintenance has been a lively employment field. Aircraft maintenance will continue to evolve in the present and in the future. New designs and materials in aircraft construction, as well as the interface between complex space-age systems such as navigational aides, fly-by-wire, flight controls, and electronic fuel controls, as well as advancements in time-tested systems such as hydraulics and propellers, all contribute to the mystique of flight.
