GRET HIMANS WHO CHANGED THE WORLD

The Wright Brothers, Orville Wright (1871-1948) and Wilbur Wright (1867-1912), are two American inventors credited with inventing the first successful airplane in history and achieving the first controlled and manned flight on December 17, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

The Wright brothers were passionate about mechanics and aviation, and started out as bicycle designers before applying their knowledge to the field of aviation. Their aircraft, the “Wright Flyer”, featured fixed wings, a special engine, and a three-dimensional control system, making it the first aircraft that could be effectively driven and steered.

Their success was not easy, but rather the result of many experiments and great determination, as they developed special theories about aerodynamics through extensive testing on gliders before arriving at the successful design.

The Wright brothers’ achievement was a turning point in the history of aviation, opening the door to the development of modern aircraft, changing the face of the world and transportation forever!
