Why did the Wright brothers invent the airplane first?

author:Branches and leaves

Compared to the rest of their colleagues, the Wright brothers focused on how to control the aircraft, and the three-axis control system they invented is still the standard for fixed-wing aircraft.

It's how to control the plane's lifting, turning, rolling over. Their contemporaries, who wanted to invent airplanes, focused their main efforts on how to develop more efficient engines.

The Wright brothers first experimented with gliders, first did not install engines on the aircraft, and used high winds or slopes to accelerate the take-off of the aircraft, and then experimented with how to control the aircraft.

The Wright brothers were in the business of making and repairing bicycles, a system of instability that could be driven by control, and the Wright brothers likened their experience to airplane research.

The Wright brothers, on their own, built a small wind tunnel, which was tested so that they could design more efficient aircraft aerodynamic layouts, as well as thrusters.

The Wright brothers have filed patents in Europe and the United States. At that time, the people who did aircraft manufacturing wanted to bypass the patents of the Wright brothers, so they went on a patent war for many years, and the United States and France made a judgment in favor of the Wright brothers, and Germany did not support the Wright brothers' patents.

In fact, many inventions, after the publication of the simple. Without the Wright brothers' great ideas, it's hard to say whether airplanes are in their current form or when they were invented. Fixed-wing aircraft was invented More than 30 years later, humans invented practical helicopters.

In the Wright brothers' patent, it is mentioned that the shape of the wing edge is changed to control the aircraft, and some people at that time sarcastically said that you jumped up and waved your arm, which also infringed their patent.

Their U.S. patent, which was granted in 1906, was valid for 15 years, and expired in 1921, after which the patent war also stopped.
