During the period from 1900 to 1902, they not only conducted more than 1000 gliding flight tests, but also made more than 200 different kinds of wings and conducted thousands of wind tunnel experiments, which corrected some wrong flight data of Lilienthal and designed the cross-sectional shape of wings with greater lift. 1903, they built the first manned aircraft "Voyager" 1. This plane has a wingspan of13.2m, with the elevator in front and the rudder behind. Two pairs of Shuang Ye propulsion propellers are driven by chains. The landing gear is skid-mounted and equipped with a four-cylinder engine. It weighs 70kg and has a power of 8.8kW This famous aircraft in aviation history is now displayed in the Air and Space Museum in Washington, USA.
1903 12 14 to 17, Voyager L made its fourth test flight on a sand dune in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA. The first test flight was driven by Orville Wright, * * * flew 36 meters, leaving 12 seconds blank. The fourth time, driven by wilbur wright, * * * flew 260 meters and left it blank for 59 seconds. 1906, their plane was patented in the United States.
Therefore, they won the honorary award of 1909 from the US Congress. In the same year, they established Wright Aircraft Company. Wilbur wright died on May 29th, 2002 at the age of 45. Since then, Orville Wright has struggled for 30 years, making Wright Aircraft Company a world-famous aircraft manufacturer with a capital as high as10 billion US dollars. Orville Wright died on1948 65438+1October 3rd.
