Aircraft model patent

The real inventor of the airplane is the Wright brothers in America. The two brothers have been very interested in flying since childhood. They study the flight of birds. They used to pull gliders with ropes and fly them like kites. They built their own internal combustion engines and propellers, and put their own airplane models with propellers and engines in their own "wind tunnels" to simulate flight. In order to test the plane, they also personally wrote to the Meteorological Bureau to find the ideal test site.

1 In September, 903, they pulled their "Flying Man1"plane to Xiaoying Beach on the east coast, making full preparations for the test flight. 65438+February 17, this is an unusual day. My brother Orville Wright and my brother wilbur wright flew the "Flyer 1" respectively, and successfully flew four times, with a total flight time of 97 seconds and a distance of 44 1 m. Although there is only a short time and distance, this is the first time that human beings really fly in a powered plane. At the end of the last flight, wilbur wright said excitedly, "The era of flying has finally arrived." Yes, this is indeed an epoch-making flight.

It is worth mentioning that the invention right of aircraft is still an episode. 190 1 year, the U.S. government invested $50,000 to call Langley for research aircraft. 1903, 70 days before the Wright brothers successfully flew, the "air station" aircraft developed by Langley also made a test flight, but it failed. After the Wright brothers succeeded, Curtis, another American pilot, revised the "air station number" and successfully tested again. So he claimed that the inventor of the first plane was not Wright, but Langley. Because Langley was then the dean of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution in the United States, the Smithsonian Institution abused its power and announced that the "Air Station" plane was the first successful plane. It was not until 1942 that the new president of the Smithsonian Institution corrected the wrong statement in the past and rehabilitated the Wright brothers. At the same time, it was decided to display Wright's "leaflet 1" in the best position of American museums.

Of course, just as any invention is born on the basis of the accumulated experience of predecessors, the invention of aircraft does not appear out of thin air. The reason for the success of the Wright brothers lies in summing up the experience of their predecessors. The experiences of many pilots before the success of Voyager 1 will also leave a glorious page in aviation history.

Alexander Graham Bell thinks he is the inventor of the telephone.
