Invention of Airplane by Wright Brothers
---Background--- Hello , my name is Rin Sakimi , and today I’d like to talk about the Wright Brothers and their work to create the airplane. It has always been our dream to fly. Although the airplane is a common form of transportation now, just 100 years ago the airplane was just a fantasy. Long ago, some people attached a kind of bird wing to both arms in the desire to fly in the sky. There are also records people attempting to fly by jumping from high places. Leonardo da Vinci was also trying to design an airplane, but records show that he didn’t succeeded. Balloons and other ideas were put to practical use as means to fly and some reached the sky , but the Wright Brothers were the first to invent a machine with the power mounted on the actual airplane.They worked in a bicycle store. While they worked they were studied about how to build an airplane. ---Research Question--- Is it possible to create a flying machine ? ---Methods and Data--- The Wright brothers went around to a lot of universities and listened to a lot of professors about flight dynamics. 1. They were absolute amateurs about airplanes. 2. They built a plane by relying on Samuel Langley's theory of flight. 3. They built an engine based on the data they had collected. 4. They finally succeeded in the world's first manned power flight. ---Conclusions and Future Research--- On December 17, 1903, the wind was perfect for flying. They put an engine on the airplane that they had built, the “Wright Flyer No.1” and they turned the propeller. At 10:35 “Wright Flyer No.1” finally succeeded in flying in the sky. It is said that the flight time was only 12 seconds and the flight distance was just 36 meters, but this was a big step in the history of mankind. Just a decade later, in the early days of World War I, planes had already developed dramatically and were used on the battlefield.
