ORVILLE WRIGHT 1871-1948 & WILBUR WRIGHT 1867-1912

Because the work of both brothers are related to each other, they are listed together in the order book and list of particulars they will be presented in a single breath. Wilbur Wright was born in 1867 in the town of Millville, Indiana. Orville Wright - his sister - born in 1871 in the city of Dayton, Ohio. The two boys are sitting in college but none of them earn a diploma.Both have the talent in the field of mechanics and both interested in the issue of human to fly into the air. In 1892 they opened a store, sell, fix, and make the bike. These efforts bring in funds to continue his intentions: the investigation aeronautik sector. Brothers are fun to pursue the works of other aeronautik enthusiasts such as Otto Lilienthal, Octave Chanute and Samuel P. Langley. In 1899 they began working toward his own flight. In December 1903, after four years of hard work for less, the results of his efforts with great success.One may wonder to the Wright brothers were able to create a failed performance of others. There are several reasons that make them successful. First, two heads are certainly more effective than one head. The Wright brothers always worked together and tunjang-support with very harmonious and perfect. Second, they deftly take the decision that they first learn how to fly before trying to make the plane. At first glance it seemed opposed by a common measure: how to learn to fly if there are no airplanes? The answer is, the Wright brothers learned to fly with gliders. First they observed how the kite, then the launcher. The next year they bring a large gliders to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, just for carrying and can lift a man. The aircraft is attempted. It seems that the results are not encouraging. They make and try to complete gliders in 1901 and was followed by fabrication in 1902. The third glider is a combination of various important discoveries them. Some of the basic patent, used in 1903, deals with the glider aircraft than their first. Regarding the third glider they had more than a thousand times taking off successfully. Both Wright brothers had a glider pilot's best and most experienced in the world before they start to make engined aircraft.Experience on the air with a glider is at the core of their third success is very important. Many people who previously had been trying to raise a major concern how the plane got off the results of his creations. Wright brothers rightly realized that the main problem is how to keep an eye on the plane after being in the air. Therefore, most of the time and attention they shed on the matter of how to achieve stability when the aircraft is flying. They managed to create three types of basic tools to keep an eye on the plane, and this is what makes them successful in the show.The Wright brothers also making a significant contribution in terms of wing design. They are aware, the previous data that have been published, could not hold onto. Therefore they created their own halls of the wind and tried against more than two thousand kinds of wing surface. The main core of this experiment is, the two brothers were able to make the chart itself, elaborated on the air pressure on the wing depends on the shape of the wing. This information is then used in the manufacture of aircraft wings each.Besides all of their findings, the Wright brothers are not going to be successful if they are not performing successfully at the right time in history. Flight experiments with the use of machines in the first half of the 19th century clearly tend toward failure. Steam engine definitely too heavy for flight use. At the time of the Wright brothers came, processing machinery already found people burning. However, this machine is only for use in general, too heavy for use in flight. When no one else is able to design a factory machine that is light enough, the brothers Wright (with the help of a mechanic) to design your own. It shows the genius of them because even within a relatively short yet they are able to design a machine that is superior to almost any other factory-made. In addition, the Wright brothers to design their own propellers. One they use in 1903, 66% succeeded.

The first flight was on December 17th 1903 at Kill Devil Hill near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Each of the two brothers had made two flights on that day. The first flight, Orville Wright made lasts 12 seconds and reaches a distance of 120 feet. Last flight, Wilbur Wright made, lasts 59 seconds and reaches a height of 852 feet. The plane which they named Flyer I (now known by the nickname Kitty Hawk) manufacturing costs are less than 1000 dollars. The plane had a wing 40 feet long and weighs about 750 pounds, measuring 12-horsepower engine weighing only 170 pounds. The original aircraft is now stored neatly in the Air and Space Museum Washington DCAlthough there are five witnesses when the first flight, relatively little was reported by newspapers on the issue the next day (and it was generally less accurate). His own town newspaper in Dayton Ohio at all think nothing of this business. Only five years after it was realized that the common world of human flight really can happen.After their flight at Kitty Hawk, the Wright brothers returned to his hometown in Dayton. There, they design and make a second plane, Flyer II. With this second plane 105 flight times they did in 1904 without attracting public attention at all. Flyer III airplane which has been refined and made more practical in 1905. Although they are many times the air near the town of Dayton, many people still do not believe that the name was born aircraft in the world. In 1906 - for example - newspapers Paris edition of The Herald Tribune article titled lower Flyer or Liars? (Air or pengibulan).In 1908 they were finally wiped out all the indecision and general mistrust. Wilbur Wright flew the plane to France, make a demonstration of acrobatics in the air and organizing companies to market their creations. Meanwhile, in the United States, Orville Wright presents similar performances. Unfortunately, on 17 September 1908 crashing his plane crashed. This is the only accident that ever experienced by both of them. One passenger was killed, Orville broken leg and two ribs, but can be cured. The success of the U.S. government stirs its flights to sign a contract to make planes for the U.S. Department of Defense, and in 1909 the government budget there is $ 30,000 worth of orders for the purposes of the Air Force.There was once a legal dispute involving patents between the Wright brothers with its rivals, but in 1914 the court rejected their claims. What was about to say, in 1912 Wilbur Wright fell ill and died of typhoid at the age of forty-five years. Orville Wright who in 1915 sold his shares to a company, lived until 1948. Neither of the two brothers were never married.Despite many investigations in this field that preceded it, no doubt Wright bersaudaralah could be considered as a forerunner to the discovery of an airplane. In terms of determining the order of the list this book, which became the main grip is the creation of an aircraft has meaning is less important than the invention of printing or steam power which both had constructed a revolutionary overhaul of human livelihoods. However, undoubtedly the discovery of an aircraft is an important historical phenomenon, both in terms of use for the purposes of peace or war. Within decades after that, the aircraft had constructed our world is so shriveled even any space it can be touched fingers. And further than that, the invention of airplanes and the charged man is opening the way for beginners flight in outer space.Centuries old dream of flying is already a human being. They want to float in the sky with a magic carpet like a fairy-tale A Thousand and One Nights, dreams that are far away in range. Bersaudaralah Wright's genius was to realize that dream come true, actually flying a plane and cross-legged on a rug instead of puffing a fairy tale "Hoga" which is three feet long.
