Rockets
火箭是中国古代的重大发明之一。公元969年,中国已经发明了火药(火药是在唐朝发明的)。北宋军官岳义方、冯继升造出了世界上第一个以火药为动力的飞行兵器——-火箭。这种火箭由箭身和药筒组成,其中药筒用竹、厚纸制成,内充火药,前端封死,后端引出导火绳,点燃后,火药燃烧产生的气体向后喷出,以气体的反作用力把火箭推向前,飞行中杀伤敌兵。这种最早的原始火箭在工作原理上与现代火箭没有什么不同。公元12世纪中叶,原始的火箭经过改进后,广泛地用于战争。如公元1161年宋军与金兵的“采石之战”中所使用的“霹雳炮”,其实就是一种火箭兵器。当时在中国民间广为流行的能高飞的“火流星”(亦称“起火”),实际就是世界上第一种观赏性火箭。元、明之后,即公元13世纪以后,中国的火箭兵器在战争中有了很大发展,涌现了许多与现代火箭类型相近的火箭形式。13世纪中叶,蒙古人入侵中亚、西亚和欧洲,阿拉伯人侵略西班牙,他们把中国的火箭技术传入了欧洲及世界其它地区。到了这时,德意志的艾伯特斯·麦格诺才在欧洲首次记述了关于制作火箭的技术。欧洲人最早使用火箭兵器,是在1379年意大利的帕多亚战争和1380年的威尼斯之战中。
