The airplane was invented by the famous American inventor Wilbur Wright and his brother Orville Wright.
At 10:30 a.m. on December 17, 1903, Orville piloted the "Aviator" 1 to successfully conduct a powered flight over Kitty Hawk Beach, North Carolina. The distance was 36 meters, and it stayed in the air for 12 seconds. Then, Wilbur made another flight. As a result, it flew more than 200 meters in 59 seconds. The human dream of flying into the blue sky finally came true.
Since then, the Wright brothers have built "Flyer" 2 and "Flyer" 3 respectively. The skills of these two aircraft have improved to an astonishing professional level. In 1906, their airplane was patented in the United States. After that, they established an aircraft manufacturing company and became one of the world's leading companies in manufacturing aircraft.
Introduction to the early years of the Wright brothers:
Wilbur Wright was born on April 16, 1867, and Orville Wright was born on August 19, 1871. The two brothers Both were born in Dayton, USA. Although there is a 4-year age difference between the two brothers, they have had a strong interest in machinery since they were young, and they naturally played together. When they were children, the brothers often took scraps of metal from the street home for "study", often leaving the yard with nowhere to put their feet. But their enlightened parents did not stop their behavior and always helped and encouraged their sons' hobbies.
During their studies, the brothers were not only good students with excellent academic performance in school, but they also used their spare time to invent a machine that can be used to fold newspapers, and at the same time founded a weekly news newspaper of their own "Xicheng News". Moreover, the brothers themselves served as editors and were responsible for publishing and distribution. Since then, they have continued to conduct various experiments. They invented a tandem bicycle with front and rear seats, they built a new computer, and they built a new typewriter that was much simpler than any typewriter of the day.
