Its a bit like saying that jet powered aircraft are the same as piston propeller driven ones, both fly but their method of propulsion (and many other systems) are completely different, with the newer technology sharing little in common with the older technology.An valid analogy, however regardless of the motive power used, the basic aircraft owes its existence down to the invention and successful demonstration of the "three axis control" by the Wright Brothers in 1903. This control system is acknowledged to be what made "fixed wing powered flight" possible. A piston-prop or jet engine is no good to nobody unless it is strapped down to something!
As I'm not into aviation (but can quote wiki), I'm trying to think of a lamp / streetlighting related analogy - any ideas?
