USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Wilbur and Orville Wright were American inventors and pioneers of aviation. In 1903 the Wright brothers achieved one of the first flights with a powered, sustained and controlled airplane; they surpassed their own milestone two years later when they built and flew the first fully practical airplane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Wright brother’s breakthrough was their invention of the three-axis control, which enabled the pilot to steer the aircraft with full control and enhanced the ablility to easily maintain its equilibrium. This method became standard for all fixed-wing aircrafts.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Wright Brothers flight in 1903 therefore took place in the industrial age and didn’t actually affect the Industrial Revolution as currently defined. However, their acheivement was significant in its own right. The Wright Brothers were the first to demonstrate that manned, powered flight could be achieved.

Detailed explanation-4: -In 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright, two brothers from Dayton, OH, became the first people to fly a heavier than air, power controlled machine, known as the Wright Flyer. This did not simply happen overnight. The brothers had been tinkering with the idea of flight off and on since childhood.

Detailed explanation-5: -Using a small home-built wind tunnel, the Wrights also collected more accurate data than any before, enabling them to design more efficient wings and propellers. Their first U.S. patent did not claim invention of a flying machine, but rather a system of aerodynamic control that manipulated a flying machine’s surfaces.
