In 1903, they built the first manned aircraft to fly under its own power, the Flyer 1, with a wingspan of meters, an elevator in front and rudder in the rear, two sets of two-bladed propellers driven by chains, a skid-type landing device, and a 70-kilogram, kilowatt-powering four-cylinder engine. This famous aircraft in the history of aviation is now on display at the Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., USA.
In 1904, the Wright brothers built a second "Flyer" equipped with a new engine for a test flight in the Hoffman Meadows near Dayton, with the longest sustained flight time exceeding 5 minutes and a distance of 44 km; In 1905, a third "Flyer" was tested, piloted by Wilbur, and it flew for 38 minutes and kilometers.
From December 14 to 17, 1903, the Aviator made its fourth test flight to a sand dune in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA. The first test flight was piloted by Orville Wright, which covered a total of 36 meters and was left in the air for 12 seconds. The fourth was piloted by Wilbur Wright, who flew a total of 260 meters with 59 seconds in the air.
In 1906, their aircraft was patented in the United States.

O-Wright. W. Wright.
On December 17, 1903, the Wright Brothers' first aircraft successfully flew Flyer 1, the first aircraft built by the Wright Brothers, the Flyer 1, successfully flew in North Carolina, USA. They successfully flew in heavier-than-air aircraft of their own design and manufacture. People are skeptical about this.
At the beginning of that year, Simon Newcom, a respected American scientist, expressed his opinion that it was impossible to fly by maneuvering force. Seven years ago, Otto Lilienthal, a famous German aviation pioneer, crashed and died in a flying machine of his own making. However, the Wright brothers said they flew four times that day over Kitty Hawk Beach, North Carolina, with the longest one lasting about a minute and covering a distance of 850 feet.
Five other people were present to witness their flight. The Wright brothers said they solved the problem of preventing heavier-than-air aircraft from flying at their bike repair shop in Dayton. One of their major inventions, they say, was the use of movable wingtips to control airplanes, a problem that no one else had ever solved.
They also built a 25-horsepower light engine, which was lighter than anything before but delivered more power than before. The brothers then experimented with a series of scale models of their own design in the wind tunnel. They said the work took more than seven years and cost more than $1,000.
In any case, they say, they will only be able to publish a detailed description of their aircraft after obtaining the patent rights. The two brothers, Auver and Weber, were originally bicycles and were very skilled in mechanical engineering, and were among the many flying enthusiasts of the time. They began studying flying in 1896 and set out to build an airplane powered by an engine.
Unlike other flight design enthusiasts, they value theory and read the literature on aerodynamics. In order to read Littal's writings, they also tenaciously learned German. After several years of repeated exploration, the Wright brothers finally built their first aircraft, the "Flyer 1".
At 30 a.m. on December 17, 1903, Ofer flew the aircraft on a successful powered flight over Kitty Hawk Beach, North Carolina, at a distance of 36 meters and spent 12 seconds in the air; Subsequently, another flight was made by the older brother Webb, which resulted in 5 9 seconds of 3200 meters. Thus was the first airplane. The Wright brothers continued to improve the aircraft, building the Aviator 2 in 1904 and the Aviator 3 in 1905, and on October 5, 1905, Webb piloted the Aviator 3, which lasted 38 minutes and had a range of 39 kilometers.
In other words, the "Flyer 3" has actually become practical. The Wright brothers were convinced that the time had come for a flying machine. In the years that followed, they improved the performance of the aircraft and performed air shows around the world, showing people that the dream of human flight has come true.

The airplane was invented by the Wright brothers on October 16, 1900.

The Wright brothers waited at home for their father a few days after his business trip, and at one point his father finally returned, when his father brought them a toy airplane. Then they twisted the clockwork, and the airplane toys flew freely through the air. That's when the two brothers thought:
It would be nice if we could make the plane bigger and have someone sit on it. So, the two of them hope that they can make a homemade airplane; The Wright brothers, both racking their brains to figure out how to make this stool for a human plane. Sometimes the Wright brothers might even stay up late to build airplanes.
Through the efforts of the Wright brothers, they finally built the following aircraft of their own. They wanted to make the plane bigger enough to fit a person. They redoubled their efforts day and night, and finally built the only aircraft that could be used as a person.
This plane can still be seen in the Capital Space Museum, where they built the first powered plane.

The Wright brothers of the United States, the designers of the first powered aircraft in human history, made a modest contribution to the creation of modern aviation. Their stories are told all over the world.
One day, his father, who returned from a business trip, brought the Wright brothers a gift: a flying butterfly. Father gently energized the toy, and the little thing flew in the air.
The little brothers were overjoyed, but they didn't think it had gone far enough, so they made several larger ones in the shape of a toy.
Some of these imitations were able to fly over trees, others flew tens of meters away, but one of the brothers' very large replica failed. But this did not upset them, but instead aroused the brothers' idea of building an airplane.
In 1896, the Wright brothers saw a news in the newspaper that Lilienthal of Germany had died in a crash while driving a glider. The news shook them so much that the brothers decided to study aerial flight. >>>More
The Wright brothers are the most famous inventors of the century, and they were both born in the United States. The news of Otto Rindahl's successful test glider made them determined to fly. Lindahl's test flight crash in the year prompted them to focus on the balance of the aircraft. >>>More
1. The Wright Brothers.
Since childhood, I have loved to invent and make some small inventions. Once, Qi made an oak and they made a kite with a lamp and secretly flew it at night, and the residents of Gao Bibian were terrified, thinking it was a ghost fire. >>>More
The Wright Brothers. Aircraft have been studied since 1896. While opening a bicycle shop to make money, they also had to accumulate aviation knowledge, observe eagle flights, repeatedly design drawings, and after more than three days and nights of preparation, in October 1900, the Wright brothers made a glider powered by the wind. >>>More

When Orville was 7 and Wilbur was 11, the family moved from Dayton, Ohio to Sidrapids, Iowa. >>>More
