  • On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright, Two Brothers From
    On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, made the first sustained, controlled, powered flights from the sands of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Although 1899 we celebrate this date as the birth of aviation, the actual invention of the airplane was a painstaking and dangerous endeavor that started long before that day and continued long afterwards. To accomplish this task the Wrights built 7 aircraft, each a little better than the last, and tested them at two locations, Huffman 1900 Prairie (near Dayton) and Kitty Hawk. When they finally perfected a practical flying machine, they had made about approximately 2200 gliding flights and 158 powered flights. This work had occupied 2093 days in Dayton, 227 in Kitty 1901 Hawk, and about 20 days traveling between for a total of 2320 days over 6 years between 1899 and 1905! 1902 1903 1904 1905 Copyright © 2015 Bookworks, Inc. www.wright-brothers.org 1 “I am convinced that human flight is possible and practical.” Wilbur Wright to the Smithsonian Institution Aircraft tested: Model glider, 5-foot wingspan, flown as a kite. Longest flight: Unknown. Day 1 May 30, 1899 Wilbur’s letter to the Smithsonian. Bicycle maker Wilbur Wright tosses his hat into the scientific arena, writing to the Smithsonian Institution for information on mechanical flight and announcing his intention to “add my mite” to the emerging science of aeronautics. He is convinced that piloting an aircraft is a skill that can be learned, just like riding a bicycle. The problem, as he sees it, is control. Day 16 June 15, 1899* While twisting a small cardboard inner tube box, Wilbur discovers a simple method for changing the angle at which the wings of an aircraft meet the wind, enabling a pilot to roll into a turn.
