How The Wright Brothers Changed The World

“Before the Wright brothers, no one working in aviation did anything fundamentally correct. Since the Wright brothers, no one has done anything fundamentally different.” The Wright brothers were very interesting people and the time period that they grew up in led to many great inventions and success. Their first flight was an incredible moment that was the product of much preparation and hard work. Their invention had a major impact on the world and changed how it looked at aviation and aeronautics. The Wright brothers changed the world as they knew it, pioneering modern transportation and warfare.
The Wright Brothers and Their Time Period The Wright brothers were unlike any other inventors of their time. Orville and Wilbur Wright grew up in Dayton, Ohio. Orville was born on August 19, 1871, and Wilbur was born on April 16, 1867. They did well in high school, but did not attend college, and instead opened up their own bike shop. This shop gave them the funds to pursue their goal of making the world’s first practical airplane. They got the idea of building the airplane from one of their father’s letters. Their dad, Milton, was a bishop and was often away from home for work. He was a very kind and good-hearted man
In 1902 they spent most of their time testing new planes, but came up short sometimes. Two years after their first flight they improved their plane greatly. They had made the aerodynamics of the plane better by changing some of the materials they used and the plane’s design. Before it could only go straight for a about a minute, and now it could fly in circle eights for about thirty minutes. After many years of innovating and designing in 1905 they had perfected their plane. Many others tried to replicate their feat, but fell short of achieving what they did. Their achievement was beyond spectacular and many good things came from
