Wilbur and Orville Wright were born in Dayton, Ohio. Wilbur was the oldest of the two, born in 1867, and Orville was the youngest born in1871. As children they became interested in flight around 1878 when their father had brought home for them a toy that could fly. The Wrights' were not always pioneers in aviation, at first they were journalists and then owners of the "Wright Cycle Company", a bicycle shop. The Wrights' used their profits from their bike store to fund their experiments with airplanes. The Wrights' first became famous by publishing their research in flight magazines. They are m

Before airplanes people had to use cars, trains, and boats as a means of transportation. Now since the development of airplanes people can fly places in a matter of hours, in which before these trips could have taken weeks or months. Airplanes are also used to deliver mail quicker and easier than ever before. The Wrights' development of the airplane also led to space travel in which we now can travel to places never even imagined.

ost famous for their design and construction of the first ever successful powered airplane on December 17, 1903. (Moahman 107)

By December 1901, the Wrights had accumulated enough data needed to build a successful flier. They developed the glider in 1902. When they tested it, it crashed because Orville had forgotten how to operate the elevator and crashed it. On December 17, 1903, the Wrights' had developed another glider. This glider would go down in history as the first successful aircraft. It took flight at 10:35 am in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina for twelve seconds. The Wrights then patented their invention and went on to create bigger and better airplanes. (Johalo 143,199, 210)

In order to construct this larger glider, the Wrights had to look seriously into precise wing airfoil, wing-size, type and size of materials, and understanding lift, pressure and gravity. They determined that in order to get their desired lift, they needed to develop a curved wing, in which when rotated could control the direction of airflow. This could allow them to direct th
