Because the brothers' work is interrelated with each other, they are listed together in a chronological list and particulars of this book would be presented both in the same breath.Wilbur Wright was born in 1867 in the town of Millville, Indiana. Orville Wright - his brother - born in 1871 in the city of Dayton, Ohio. The two boys are sitting in college but none get a diploma.
Both have the talent in the field of mechanics, and both are interested in the problems of human fly into the air. In 1892 they opened the store, sell, fix, and make the bike. This effort to bring funds to continue his intentions: an investigation aeronautik sector. These sisters to his great 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 working hard for four years less, the results of his efforts succeeded brilliantly.
People may be surprised to be able to create the Wright brothers' achievements had failed to do other people. There are many reasons that make them successful. First, the two heads would be more effective than one head. The Wright brothers always worked together and supported-supporting with a very harmonious and perfect. Second, they are deftly made the decision that they first learn how to fly before trying to make the plane. At first glance it seemed contrary to common measure: how can learn to fly if no plane? The answer is, the Wright brothers learned to fly with a glider. First they watched the workings of the kite, and launcher. The next year they brought a large glider to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, sufficient to be boarded and raised a human being. The aircraft was tested. Apparently the result is not too exciting. They make and try to complete glider in 1901 and was followed by the fabrication of the year 1902. Third glider is a combination of various important discoveries them. Some of the basic patent, used in 1903, associated with the glider aircraft than their first. About a third glider that they had more than a thousand times up into the work. Both Wright brothers had a glider pilot's best and most experienced in the world before they begin to make engined aircraft.
Experience on the air with a glider is the core of their third success of great importance. Many people who previously had been trying to make the aircraft had major concerns how the creation takeoff. Wright brothers rightly realized that the main problem is how to control the aircraft after being in the air. Therefore, most of the time and attention they shed on the issue of how to achieve stability when the aircraft is flying. They managed to create three types of basic tools to monitor the aircraft, and this is what makes them successful in the show.
The Wright brothers also gave an important contribution in terms of wing design. They are aware, the previous data already published, could not hold onto. Therefore they create their own wind tunnels and tested for more than two thousand different forms of the wing surface. The main core of this experiment is, the two brothers were able to make their own chart, describing the air pressure on the wing depends on the shape of the wing. This information is then used in the manufacture of each aircraft wing.
In addition to their findings, the Wright brothers was not going to be successful if they did not succeed to appear at the right moment in history. Experiments using flight with the engine in the first half of the 19th century clearly tending toward failure. Clear steam engine was too heavy for flight use. At the time the brothers Wright appeared, processing engine found burning was one. However, this machine is only for general use, too heavy for use in flight. When no one else is capable of factory machinery to design light enough, the brothers Wright (with the help of a mechanic) to design their own. This shows the genius of them because even within a relatively short since they are able to design machines that are superior than almost any other factory manufactured. In addition, the Wright brothers designed their own propeller. One of them used in the year 1903, 66% succeeded.
The first flight carried out on 17 December 1903 at Kill Devil Hill near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.Each of the two brothers made two flights on that day. The first flight, which carried Orville Wright lasted 12 seconds and reaches 120 feet distance. Last flight, Wilbur Wright did, lasted 59 seconds and reaches a height of 852 feet. The plane which they named Flyer I (now known by the nickname Kitty Hawk) eat the cost of making less than 1000 dollars. The plane had a wing 40 feet long and weighs about 750 pounds, powered 12-horsepower engine weighing just 170 pounds. Original aircraft is now stored neatly in the Museum of Air and Space Washington DC
Although there were five eyewitnesses, when the first flight, relatively little is reported by the newspapers published the next day (and it was generally less accurate). Own city newspaper in Dayton Ohio completely ignore this business. Only five years after it was realized that the public world of human flight really could happen.
After their flight at Kitty Hawk, the Wright brothers returned to his hometown of Dayton. There they design and make a second plane, Flyer II. With this second plane they were doing 105 flights in 1904 without attracting public attention altogether. Flyer III airplane that has improved and more practical contrived in 1905. Although they are a lot of time on the air near the city of Dayton, many people still do not believe that the name was born aircraft in the world. In the year 1906 - for example - the paper edition of The Herald Tribune article titled Paris Flyer reduce or Liars?.
In the year 1908 they finally sweep away all doubts and public distrust. Wilbur Wright flew his plane to France, making acrobatic demonstrations in the air and organized a company to market the results of his creation. Meanwhile, in the United States, Orville Wright deliver similar performance. Unfortunately, on 17 September 1908 crashed his plane crashed. This is the only accident that ever happened to them both. A passenger was killed, Orville broken leg and two ribs, but soon recovered. The success of the flight to inspire the United States government signed contracts to make aircraft for the United States Department of Defense, and in 1909 the government budget was $ 30,000 worth of orders for the Air Force needs.
Never any legal disputes concerning patent rights between the Wright brothers with his rivals, but in 1914 it rejected their claims court. What to say, in 1912 Wilbur Wright caught typhoid and died at the age of forty-five years. Orville Wright, who in 1915 sold its shares to a company, lived until 1948. Neither of the two brothers were never married.
Although many investigations in this field that preceded it, no doubt bersaudaralah Wright could be considered as forerunners of the discovery of the aircraft. In determining the order of the list this book, which became the main grip is the creation of an aircraft has meant less significant than the invention of the printing press or the steam that they have raise the revolutionary reforms of human livelihoods. However, the discovery of indisputable aircraft is an important historical phenomenon, both in terms of use for the purposes of peace or war. Within a dozen years after that, airplanes have make our world so shrunken space even one finger to touch it.And beyond that, the discovery of human-laden aircraft was a beginner and opening the way for flight in outer space.
Old centuries had flown into the human dream. They want to float in the sky with a flying carpet as in the fables of the Arabian Nights, dreams that are far in the coverage. The genius of Wright has bersaudaralah that dream come true, really flew by plane rather than cross-legged on the carpet sucking fairy tale "hoga" which three cubits in length.
