Airplane, Presentation
Transcript: The Wright brothers have made the discovery of the first successful airplane on December 17, 1903. Emily Corns, Jewel Carver HOW? "An Airplane is a heavier-than-air aircraft kept aloft by the upward thrust exerted by the passing air on its fixed wings and driven by propellers, jet propulsion, etc." "The wright brothers closely followed the research of german aviator Otto Lilienthal. When Lilienthal died in a glider crash, the brothers decided to start their own experiments with flight. Determined to develop their own successful design, Wilbur and Orville headed to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, known for its strong winds." www.history.com/topics/wright-brothers http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/airplane?s=t History.com Staff.

New and Improved!!!! First Airplane Flight The Wright Brothers studied birds, mostly their wings to get an idea on how to make balanced and controlled wings for the airplane.Their first designs gave no exception toward built in stability. They started out with small models until the completion of their final design.
