The greatest engineering achievement I believe was the airplane. I chose the airplane because there is so many benefits that the airplane brought to mankind. Even thou the airplane was created a little later that some other important inventions there was and is still a major contributor to the advancement of the human kind. I believe that the airplane was a great achievement because it could be put to good uses. Trips that would take weeks and weeks of traveling were shrunk to a day or even hours. A lot of packages could be transported a great distance and many people benefited from this because the global economy could flourish and become stronger.
Global trade was now available to anyone. I can purchase a phone from china over the internet and have it delivered to my in 2 days, which would have took more than 2 weeks if it was not for airplanes. There are many other numerous advantages that the airplane brought to human kind. I believe that the airplane was the greatest achievement because airplanes required so much engineering. Every kind of engineering goes into making an airplane mechanical, aerodynamic, electrical, computer, and fluid dynamic engineering.
