The Wright Brothers Invent the Airplane (I)

On December 16, 1903, a notice was posted in a small village not far from the Kitty Hawk Proving Ground in North Carolina, USA, which read:

Tomorrow, december 17, 1903, at 10:30 a.m., the Wright brothers, the inventors of the aircraft, will conduct the world's first manned aircraft test flight at the Kitty Hawk Test Site.

Although many people saw this notice, most people thought it was a game of life for two crazy people. Therefore, the next day only two people came to visit, one of whom was a child who came with an adult. The other three were first responders brought in by Wright.

At 10:30, his younger brother Orvelette boarded the plane confidently, started the engine, and the plane slowly slid up on the tracks, leaving the ground and flying into the blue sky.

The people on the ground couldn't help but cheer. After 13 seconds, the plane began to land slowly on the ground. After Ovellet successfully flew twice more, his brother Wilburett boarded the plane for a test flight, and he flew for 1 minute and flew 260 meters. This is the record of the first flight of a human being that will later go down in history.

The Wright brothers were not only the inventors of the airplane, but also the world's first airplane pilots.

The American-born Wright brothers dreamed of flying in the blue sky like birds from an early age, and when they grew up, both brothers became mechanics. Although they have a good income with technology, the dreams that have been buried in their hearts since childhood, and the settings disappear with the passage of time, but become a strong pursuit of them. It was then that the Wright brothers read from the newspaper that the German glider Collendahl had tragically lost his life in a flight test. The brothers sighed as they resolved to continue Korendal's unfinished business.

In order to realize their dreams, they not only eagerly studied many of Collendal's writings on gliding and flying, but also began to learn the systematic study of physics, mathematics, mechanics and other aspects.

It costs a lot of money to develop an airplane, and in order to make money, the brothers opened a bicycle shop. Of course, their main energy was still concentrated on the plane. above
