The Wright brothers are conducting a flight test
The Wright brothers said that they had solved the problem of preventing heavier-than-air aircraft from flying in the bicycle repair shop in Dayton. They said that one of their important inventions was to use movable wing tips to control aircraft, which was a problem that others had never solved. They also made a 25-horsepower light engine, which is lighter than any before, but provides more power than before. The two brothers then tested a series of scale models designed and manufactured by themselves in the wind tunnel. They said that the work took more than seven years and cost more than 1, dollars. In any case, they said, they can only publish the detailed description of their aircraft after obtaining the patent right.
Two brothers, Orver Wright and Webber Wright, originally operated bicycles and were very good at mechanical manufacturing technology. They were one of the many flying enthusiasts at that time. They began to study flying in 1896, and they were determined to build an airplane driven by an engine. Different from other flight design enthusiasts, they attach great importance to theory and read relevant literature on aerodynamics. In order to read Lital's works, they also stubbornly learned German. After years of repeated exploration, the Wright brothers finally built the first plane "Voyager 1".
At 1: 35 am on December 17th, 193, German-American, bicycle builders Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright pushed the self-made airplane "Flyer" off the ground on a hillside called "Chop the Magic Mountain" in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA, and made the first manned flight by a powered airplane recognized by the world.
Orville Wright was the pilot of the first flight at that time. He flew 36.58 meters in 12 seconds, when there were 6 witnesses and took photos to testify. * * * flew four times that day, and the best flight results were: battery life of 59 seconds, flight distance of 26 meters, flight altitude of 3.8 meters and speed of 48 kilometers per hour. The aircraft adopts double-wing duck pneumatic layout, and a 12-horsepower internal combustion engine drives two air propellers through two bicycle chains. The pilot is prone on the lower wing to control the plane. The plane has a wingspan of 12.29 meters and a weight of 274 kilograms. The Wright brothers and their "Flyer" plane went down in history. Prior to this, the Wright brothers began their research on airplanes in 1899, and successively flew three unpowered gliders. The "Voyager" aircraft was assembled in the winter of 192. On December 14th, 193, during their first test flight, they crashed into the beach due to stall. The Wright brothers' advantage in aircraft manufacturing was not broken by European aviation pioneers until 198.
