Why was it needed? Why was it needed? Transporting Transporting Goods Goods Mail delivery and goods traveling across country or to other continents took weeks or even months Travel Travel Globalization Globalization Before the Wright brothers changed the way we travel, people could only travel by foot, horse and buggy, train or ship Provides the opportunity to explore and easily communicate with those across all continents
When did it come about? When did it come about? 1900 1900 12/17/1903 12/17/1903 First sustained, controlled flight in a powered aircraft Made their first test flights in NC, failed as they did not provide enough lift or have full control 1896 1896 1901 1901- -02 Conducted experiments to determine best wing shape, their 3rdglider became fully controllable 02 Newspaper filled with accounts of flying machines lacking suitable control
Where did it come about? Where did it come about? Kitty Hawk, NC 4 brief flights with their first powered aircraft Europe Took their invention to Europe where it was first accepted and purchased
How did it come about? How did it come about? Trial and Trial and Error Error Design Design Research Research Experiments Experiments Always interested in mechanical projects, Wright brothers closely followed research of German aviator Otto Lilienthal When Lilienthal passed away, the Wright brothers decided to start their own experiments with flight Tried different wings and parts and eventually successfully created the first working airplane Moved to Kitty Hawk, NC and started designed wings for flight by studying how birds angled their wings
W Wh ho was involved? o was involved? Wilbur and Orville Wright - Self taught engineers Spent a lot of time observing birds and the maneuvering of their wings Read about the works of Otto Lilienthal - -
