Over 100 years ago, people only dreamed about flying. The Wright brothers,
Wilbur and Orville, were dreamers who changed the world. Wilbur Wright
was born in 1867 and Orville was born in 1871. In 1878, they received a
paper flying toy from their father. They played with kites and started to
think about the possibility of flight. When they were older, they started a
bicycle business. They used the bicycle shop to design their airplanes.
They studied three aspects of flying: lift, control, and power. In 1899, they
constructed their first flying machine-a kite made of wood, wire, and
cloth. It had no pilot. Because of wind, it was difficult to control. They
continued to study aerodynamics. 1 Finally Wilbur designed a small
machine with a gasoline engine. Wilbur tried to fly the machine, but it
crashed. They fixed it and flew it for the first time on December 17, 1903,
with Orville as the pilot. The airplane remained in the air for twelve
seconds. It traveled a distance of 120 feet. This historic flight changed the
world. However, only four newspapers in the U.S. reported this historic
moment. The Wright brothers offered their invention to the U.S.
government, but the government rejected 2 their offer at first. The
government didn't believe that these men invented a flying machine.
Finally, President Theodore Roosevelt investigated their claims and
offered the inventors a contract to build airplanes for the U.S. Army.
December 17, 2003, marked 100 years of flight. There was a six-day cele
bration at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the location of the first flight. A crowd
of 35,000 people gathered to see a replica 3 of the first plane fly. The cost
the plane was $12 million However it rained hard that day​
