WRITING & SOCIAL STUDIES Wright Brothers H I S T O R Y . Wilbur and Orville Wright were American inventors and pioneers of aviation. In 1903 the Wright brothers achieved the first powered, sustained and controlled airplane flight; they surpassed their own milestone two years later when they built and flew the first fully practical airplane. Early life Wilbur Wright was born on April 16, 1867, near Millville, Indiana. He was the middle child in a family of five children. His father, Milton Wright, was a bishop in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. His mother was Susan Catherine Koerner. As a child Wilbur’s playmate was his younger brother, Orville Wright, born in 1871. Milton Wright’s preaching took him on the road frequently, and he often brought back small toys for his children. In 1878 he brought back a small model helicopter for his boys. Made of cork, bamboo and paper, and powered by a rubber band to twirl its blades, the model was based on a design by the French aeronautical pioneer Alphonse Pénaud. Fascinated by the toy and its mechanics, Wilbur and Orville would develop a lifelong love of aeronautics and flying. Wilbur was a bright and studious child, and excelled in school. His personality was outgoing and robust, and he made plans to attend Yale University after high school. In the winter of 1885-86, an accident changed the course of Wilbur’s life. He was badly injured in an ice hockey game, when another player’s stick hit him in the face. Though most of his injuries healed, the incident plunged Wilbur into a depression. He did not receive his high school diploma, canceled plans for college, and retreated to his family’s home. Wilbur spent much of this period at home, reading books in his family’s library, and caring for his ailing mother. Susan Koerner died in 1889 of tuberculosis. In 1889 the brothers started their own newspaper, the West Side News. Wilbur edited the paper, and Orville was the publisher. The brothers also shared a passion for bicycles- a new craze that was sweeping the country. In 1892 Wilbur and 

Orville opened a bike shop, fixing bicycles and selling their own design. Developing the Airplane Always working on different mechanical projects and keeping up with scientific research, the Wright brothers closely followed the research of German aviator Otto Lilienthal. When Lilienthal died in a glider crash, the brothers decided to start their own experiments with flight. Determined to develop their own successful design, Wilbur and Orville headed to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, known for its strong winds. Wilbur and Orville set to work trying to figure out how to design wings for flight. They observed that birds angled their wings for balance and control, and tried to emulate this, developing a concept called “wing warping.” When they added a moveable rudder, the Wright brothers found they had the magic formula-on December 17, 1903, they succeeded in flying the first free, controlled flight of a power-driven, heavier than air plane. Wilbur flew their plane for 59 seconds, at 852 feet, an extraordinary achievement. The Wright brothers soon found that their success was not appreciated by all. Many in the press, as well as fellow flight experts, were reluctant to believe the brothers’ claims at all. As a result, Wilbur set out for Europe in 1908, where he hoped he would have more success convincing the public and selling airplanes. Fame In France Wilbur found a much more receptive audience. He made many public flights, and gave rides to officials, journalists and statesmen. In 1909 Orville joined his brother in Europe, as did their younger sister Katharine. The Wrights became huge celebrities there, hosted by royals and heads of state, and constantly featured in the press. The Wrights began to sell their airplanes in Europe, before returning to the United States in 1909. The brothers became wealthy businessmen, filling contracts for airplanes in Europe and the United States. Wilbur and Orville always took shared credit for their innovations, and maintained a close relationship throughout their lives. Behind the scenes, however, there was a division of labor. With his sharp instincts, Wilbur was the business mind and executive of the operation, serving as president of the Wright company. Death and Legacy Wilbur fell ill on a trip to Boston in April 1912. He was diagnosed with typhoid fever, and died on May 30 at his family home in Dayton, Ohio. Milton Wright wrote in his 

diary, ““A short life, full of consequences. An unfailing intellect, imperturbable temper, great self-reliance and as great modesty, seeing the right clearly, pursuing it steadily, he lived and died.” Citation Information Article Title Wright Brothers Author History.com Editors Website Name HISTORY URL https://www.history.com/topics/inventions/wright-brothers Access Date April 15, 2020  Taking Flight With the Wright Brothers Find out how these inspiring aviators took to the skies. It’s a chilly, breezy day in December 1903. Wilbur Wright stands on the beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, staring at the sky above him. Soaring overhead in an airplane is his brother Orville—he’s in the middle of the world’s first successful piloted engine-powered airplane flight. Today the Wright brothers are remembered as innovative engineers, and their history-making flight inspired generations of future fliers. GROWING UP WRIGHT The Wright brothers were interested in flying from a young age. As children in Dayton, Ohio, their favorite toy was a small helicopter-like object that was powered by a rubber band to twirl its blades. Fascinated by the toy and its mechanics, the brothers hoped to one day build a flying machine big enough to hold them both. As young men, the brothers went into business together, first operating a printing press, then a bicycle repair shop. Eventually the duo began selling their own custom-made bicycles to customers. But the brothers never lost their love of flying. At the time, other aircrafts such as gliders—or aircrafts without engines—did exist, but the Wrights wanted to add more power to the objects they were flying. In 1899 the brothers began experimenting with building their own aircrafts.

UP, UP, AND AWAY In 1900 the brothers traveled from Ohio to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, to begin their flight experiments. The oceanside dunes at Kitty Hawk had regular breezes and soft, sandy landing surfaces—perfect for their studies. The brothers first conducted tests with kites before experimenting with gliders. Both Orville and Wilbur separately piloted the gliders during their testing process. In 1903 the brothers built an airplane called the Wright Flyer I, which featured wooden propellers the men had designed and carved themselves. The plane also had a gasoline engine. After weeks of unsuccessful attempts, the craft—with extra fabric incorporated to increase the stiffness of the wings—took flight for 12 seconds on December 17, 1903, traveling 120 feet before landing. The plane worked! Both brothers flew the craft a few more times that day. They had flown the world’s first successful piloted engine-powered airplane. WINGS OF CHANGE After their success in North Carolina, the Wright brothers continued to travel around the world, perfecting their craft and modifying their designs. But they did so much more, kicking off the era of modern aviation and inspiring future adventurers. The decades following Kitty Hawk were filled with accomplishments in aviation, including the first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean and the first passenger flight. And, of course, flight didn’t just stay in this world—a little over 65 years after the Wrights’ famous first flight, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. The Wright brothers didn’t just fly the first piloted engine powered airplane—they created a whole new way for us to explore our world. TEXT ADAPTED FROM WINGS OF CHANGE; THE BIRD MEN; AND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CONCISE HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND INVENTION: AN ILLUSTRATED TIMELINE

Wright brothers Wright brothers invented and built the first successful airplane. The brothers were Wilbur (1867-1912) and Orville (1871-1948). On Dec. 17, 1903, they made the world's first controlled flight in a machine that was piloted, power driven, and heavier than air. They ew this airplane—called the Flyer— near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. With Orville at the controls, the plane ew 120 feet (37 meters) on the rst ight. It stayed in the air 12 seconds. The brothers made three more flights that day. The longest, by Wilbur, was 852 feet (260 meters) in length and lasted 59 seconds. For years afterward, most people knew nothing of the Wright brothers’ achievement. A few newspapers reported on the Wrights. But the stories were often inaccurate. Many people at the time doubted that ying machines could even exist. In any case, the Wrights preferred to work quietly, perfecting their airplane and developing ight technique. By 1905, they had created a practical ying machine that could travel dozens of miles. Every modern airplane is based on the Wright brothers’ invention and the principles of flight they discovered. First successful airplane flight Early life: Wilbur was born April 16, 1867, on a farm 8 miles (13 kilometers) from New Castle, Indiana. Orville was born Aug. 19, 1871, in Dayton, Ohio. Their father was a bishop of the United Brethren Church. The boys attended high school. But neither received a diploma. Wilbur did not bother to attend graduation ceremonies. Orville took special subjects rather than a set course in his nal year. The subject of mechanics fascinated the Wrights even as children. Their mother encouraged them to experiment and to learn as much as they could on their own. Orville started a printing business in 1889. He built his own press. The Wrights later launched a weekly paper, the West Side News. Wilbur served as editor. He was age 25 and Orville 21 when they began to rent and sell bicycles. Then they began to manufacture bikes. They assembled the machines in a room above their shop. Orville Wright was an American aviation pioneer. Gliding experiments After reading about the death of glider pioneer Otto Lilienthal in 1896, the

brothers became interested in ying. They began studying the subject in 1899. They soon became familiar with all the scientific knowledge of aeronautics then available. The most important problem to solve, they thought, was how to control an airplane in ight. In 1899, the brothers built a kite to test ideas for control. Then they decided to build a full-sized glider. Early gliders. The Wrights experimented with gliders on a narrow strip of sand called Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk. In 1900, they tested their first glider. It measured 16 feet (5 meters) from wing tip to wing tip. The brothers returned to Kitty Hawk in 1901 with a larger glider. They showed that they could control the craft’s balance from side to. side by tilting the tips of the right and left wings at different angles to the wind. But their wings did not generate enough lifting force. Piloted glider. The Wrights concluded that all published tables of air pressures on curved surfaces must be wrong. They set up a 6-foot (1.8-meter) long wind tunnel in their shop. The brothers tested more than 200 model wings in the tunnel. From the test results, the brothers created the rst reliable tables of air pressures on curved surfaces. These tables made it possible to design wings that would produce enough lift to support a person’s weight. The brothers built a third glider and took it to Kitty Hawk in the summer of 1902. With this glider, they solved most of the problems of balance and control in ight. They made nearly 1,000 piloted glides. On some glides, they covered distances of more than 600 feet (180 meters). Their basic patent, applied for in 1903, relates to the control system on the 1902 glider. Orville Wright pilots glider Invention of the airplane By the end of 1903, the Wrights had built a powered ying machine for less than $2,000 —about the cost of a new car in 1903. It had wings about 40 /2 feet (12 meters) long. It weighed about 750 pounds (340 kilograms) with the pilot. The Wrights designed and built their own lightweight gasoline engine for the airplane. First powered flights. On Dec. 17, 1903, the Wrights made four successful flights at Kitty Hawk. Their glider experiments had proved the airplane's design and control system to be sound.

The brothers had also become skilled pilots. Their understanding of flight physics and their piloting ability set them apart from most others who tried—and failed—to y powered airplanes. Further experiments. The Wrights continued their experiments at an eld near their hometown of Dayton in 1904 and 1905. In 1904, they made 105 ights. The longest two flights lasted five minutes each. The brothers continued to change and improve the design of their flying machine. Then, on Oct. 5, 1905, the machine flew 24.2 miles (38.9 kilometers) in 38 minutes 3 seconds. The Wrights finally believed they had a practical flying machine they could sell. Promoting airplane technology When the Wrights first offered their machine to the U.S. government, they were not taken seriously. But by 1908, they had a contract with the U.S. Department of War for the first military airplane. They also had buyers in Europe. Meanwhile, the brothers resumed experimental ights near Kitty Hawk. Their newest machines could carry two people. Newspapers reported the flights at great length, but not always accurately. Immediately after these test ights, Wilbur went to France. He made flights to altitudes of 300 feet (90 meters) and more. The flights captivated thousands of people in France. Wilbur made a deal with a French company to construct his machine there. Exhibitions and accidents. While Wilbur was in France, Orville made successful flights in the United States. On the morning of Sept. 9, 1908, he made 57 complete circles at an altitude of 120 feet (37 meters) over the drill field at Fort Myer, Virginia. He remained in the air for 1 hour 2 minutes. He set several records the same day. On September 17, however, disaster struck. While Orville was ying at 75 feet (23 meters), a blade of the right-hand propeller struck and loosened a wire of the rear rudder. The wire coiled around the blade and snapped it across the middle. The machine became difficult to control and plunged to the ground. Orville suffered a broken thigh and two broken ribs. His passenger, Lieutenant Thomas E. Selfridge, suffered a fractured skull. Selfridge died within three hours. This accident was the most serious in the Wright brothers' career. Orville reappeared at Fort Myer the next year, fully recovered. He completed official tests with no sign of nervousness. When Wilbur returned to

the United States, he made demonstration flights from Governors Island in New York City. He flew around the Statue of Liberty, up to Grant's Tomb in northern Manhattan, and back. Wright Company. In August 1909, the Wrights reached a contract with some wealthy men in Germany. They formed the German-Wright Company. Later that year, they formed the Wright Company in New York City to manufacture airplanes. The brothers earned some money from their companies. But they were troubled by imitators, infringements on their patents, conflicting claims, and lawsuits. In 1910, the Wrights established a flying school. Students at the school included such famous aviators as Henry H. "Hap" Arnold, Walter Brookins, and Marjorie Stinson. The Wright brothers also formed their own team of exhibition pilots. The team demonstrated their airplane all over the country. Later life and legacy Wilbur died of typhoid fever on May 30, 1912. He died just as the airplane was beginning to make great advances. Orville worked alone. In 1913, Orville won an aviation award called the Collier Trophy. He won the trophy for developing a device called an automatic stabilizer that helps airplanes keep balance. Orville sold his interest in the Wright Company and retired in 1915. Change Voice © 2020 World Book, Inc. All rights reserved.
