TRAIAN VUIA AMONG THE LIMITS OF INTELLIGENCE, PASSION AND OPTIMISM. VUIA ENGINES AND THE AFFINITY FOR THE WIDE FIELD OF AERONAUTICS

Abstract

Traian Vuia, a complex personality often linked to the father of mechanical flight, was, is and definitely will be one of the most debated names of the huge aeronautical sphere of all times. The path that the inventor chose without hesitation proved to be an axis mundi of his future destiny, which gained wings and, at the same time, gave him wings. Even though they seem to be fairytales, his unstoppable progress and life were sometimes paved with obstacles and slips. However, the symbiosis between the continuous desire to become the best version of himself and the need to make valuable contributions to the aviation field has resulted in his philosophy, which still provides us with remarkable achievements.
