If there were no flying life forms would humans have taken much longer to discover flight?

In the universe I am postulating humans have somehow developed exactly as we are without the existence of flying life forms.

We still discover arrows, blow guns, and at bare minimum gunpowder style explosives, as well as the fact that certain gases are lighter than air. There are also still fish.

With that crazy alternate universe that would essentially change how we ourselves were designed if we were being honest, how long would we take before we build a fighter jet?
