If you ask a student in elementary school why the town of Kitty Hawk in North Carolina is important in American history, they will know the answer immediately. It was here that Orville and Wilbur Wright discovered that they had built the first working airplane and that man could fly.
Today, at any given time it is common for thousands of planes to soar into the sky and fly to Earth with the simple experience of cycling, which looks like a world where humans could not fly as far as the ancient Romans. Is. However, we must travel back to the days when the Wright brothers made the amazing invention and discovery of the first airplane, firmly believing that humans can never fly like birds and in fact humans can never fly. Flies but is always a terrestrial creature. We can be grateful that the Wright brothers did not maintain that belief.
The date of that first successful flight was 17 December 1903. Orville and Wilbur flew the first controlled, powered large aircraft. It breaks the ranks as one of the greatest inventions in American history, and in fact, the fact that man can fly so far is one of the greatest inventions of all time. Because we have primitive images that illustrate that dream.
The Wright brothers were able to complete this complex research, eventually developing a machine that could accomplish this feat. Great inventions often result in hundreds or thousands of failures and trials and the inventor improves his ideas and makes new innovations step by step towards that ultimate success. This is absolutely true for the Wright brothers.
Our reference to the Wright brothers flying into the business of making printing presses, as mechanics repairing motors and bicycles, was like cycling, which gave them knowledge about the internal workings of such machines. Necessary to make the machine. Can operate the aircraft. His work in completing the design of a simple bicycle, providing control and balance mechanisms to keep the aircraft stable with sufficient stability, he believed that winning the aircraft was not a question of providing enough power to the aircraft. . To the wind
Long before that first successful flight, the Wright brothers did their research. Using his bicycle shop as a makeshift laboratory, he experimented with previous gliders and unmanned aircraft to improve his principles and his designs. But finally on December 17, 1903, he achieved the dream of flying with man, albeit for a short time. Orville Wright's account of that first flight is scientific and understandable.
"Wilbur started the fourth and final flight at 12 o'clock. The first few hundred feet were up and down as before, but by the time it covered three hundred feet, the machine was under much better control. After that there are small ups and downs along the way up to four hundred feet. However, at a distance of about eight hundred feet the machine began to pitch again and hit the ground with one of its arrows. Distance above ground is 852 feet; Flight time is 59 seconds. "
Little did the Wright brothers know that a new industry would be built around these simple experiments. In addition, he has achieved the dream that man has been dreaming of for centuries, that he can actually fly back to Earth and return safely. It was truly one of the greatest achievements in American history.
