Aviation History

December 17, 1903, on the basis of isolated sand in North Carolina coast, the wind blowing hard, Orville and Wilbur Wright brothers took off with the aircraft engine for the first time in human history.

Orville Wright first flew as far as 30 meters for 12 seconds. Wilbur flew the fourth and last attempt, a distance of 260 meters, and continued to fly for 59 seconds.

The Wright brothers changed the history of aviation. Within 15 years later, military planes have been involved in air combat in World War One. Thirty years later, people and goods can be transported by air has been widely. Sixty-six years after that first flight, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. 16 October 2003, China became the third nation capable of human to orbit in space.

In America a century the history of aviation warnings received tremendous attention. July 4, Independence Day United States, more than 600,000 people gathered in Dayton, Ohio, where the Wright brothers grew up, in honor of the nation's second son. About 150,000 people also gathered in the town of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. They witnessed the first flight place. The area has long been a national monument.

In Washington, DC, the capital of the United States, Aviation and Space Museum Smithsonian Institution United States held a special exhibition about the Wright brothers. The centerpiece is the original Wright Brothers airplane, known as the "Wright Flyer". The plane has long hung high in the museum. Now the plane is on the floor where the wings and fuselage are not sturdy looks like a large model airplane that kids want to make it.

The Wright brothers flew silently, with only two other observers. Event did not receive widespread media coverage. Wright brothers had a store in Dayton, where they make, repair and sell bicycles. Several others are trying to achieve progress of Glider or glide planes, or gliders to planes that can fly with the propeller itself, has a scientific and professional recognition. Glider, the first time bring man into the air in 1786. Many people in the field doubt whether the two men are not much experienced it really fly. "Flyers or liars," wrote one newspaper. That is, the two men were "fliers or liars?"

Yet they continue to improve and enhance their aircraft and in 1908 the sudden shock of the French public with a demonstration flight, which includes acrobatics. Since then, there's not much doubt their ability as an inventor of flight.

Many things may have stopped their effort. Some people died while engaged in the pilot glide plane. They survived. A man named Samuel Langley, head of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution, was given a fund of 50 thousand dollars by the U.S. military to make an airplane. In contrast, the Wright brothers spent a thousand dollars in their businesses over the past four seasons at Kitty Hawk. Nine days before the Wright brothers flew the plane Langley launched in Washington, DC and immediately fell.

This century may be given full recognition of the Wright brothers on their technological expertise. They have long been known to fly. However, their innovation is complex and highly imaginative received less attention. Instability of the bike, which is controlled by the rider's body movement - affect their thinking. The flight of birds that glide with their wings, change direction by moving their wings are also very impressive.

Therefore they created a system that will be the wings' can move sideways, to allow the aircraft to fly safely banked. They worked on the design of a flexible tail and control systems to control the direction of the aircraft flying. They managed to create a large propeller efficiency. They manually build a light machine. Wright brothers affect the science of air for the next flight.

They fly. The world is changing. However, not all of them for good. Orville, who lived until 1948, and Wilbur, who died in 1912, said with sadness in World War II: "We expect the aircraft will be a tool for peace".
