More like a hundred years, 1880’s to 1980’s, and chariots like that were more popular 3000+ years ago, 1500 years ago it was more foot heavy infantry and heavy cavalry. Chariots fell out of favor 2500-3000 years ago.

Of course. Who doesn’t own an F-117 Nighthawk? I have two in my garage. One flies great, but the other is just for parts because it’s so hard to find spare parts for these relics on eBay these days.

Really, it was closer to 100 years between a horse drawn carriage last in common use and the first flight of the F-117 (1981).
What’s just as crazy is that we went from first flight to landing men on the moon in a mere 65 years.

I think you could go a lot lot longer than 1500 years. I think they were using chariots in a big way for war in like 1200 BC, more than 3000 years ago.
Ps did you know that there is such a thing as experimental archeology? They build stuff like chariots from 3000 years ago, and stone tools and stuff.
Also, didn’t it take only 70 years to go from the first flight to landing on the moon?

I think a better example of technology from the 1800s would be the steam locomotive. You had early examples in the mid teens and then something like Rocket in 1829.
Computers and microprocessors are a hell of a thing

Now should us the growth between 1981 (F117) and 2031, 50 years later…

An 1800s carriage was far superior to Roman chariot. And an 1800s iron clad certainly a far cry from a trireme. Certainly progress is uneven and accelerates with time. But progress isn’t always obvious. Technological progress might be that lljy

Chariots are way older than AD 400…

Like somebody else here mentioned, they had steam locomotives pretty early in the 1800s, which quickly lead to long-distance railroad travel.

TIL, three data points = exponential growth.

That is exponential growth.
