ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Etrich Taube

Etrich Taube is a really cool airplane that was built over 100 years ago! It was created by an engineer named Igo Etrich and a pilot named Franz Taube.

The plane looked like a giant bird with wings that looked like bat wings. It was really light and could glide through the air like a bird. Instead of a regular engine, the Etrich Taube had a propeller that was turned by the wind rushing past the plane as it flew.

People were amazed by the Etrich Taube and it became really popular. It was used for things like mail delivery and even in the military.

Even though there are much more advanced airplanes now, the Etrich Taube is still remembered for being a really important part of aviation history.
