When the human flight was developed (by Wrigth Brothers) they did not envision the scale the technology has reached to the modern-day society. It is impossible to imagine our lives without planes. Planes play important role in society nowadays to transport goods and people from one place to another. As traffic is controlled on the ground (by traffic police, traffic lights and signage) – it is as important to control the traffic in airspace.
How do you do that? Air traffic control. The first air traffic control began at Croydon Airport and started as a simple wooden hut that could tell planes their location, the weather and what air traffic was like. As the number of flights grew by demand, technology became more developed.
