WILBUR WRIGHT

Wilbur Wright was born April 16, 1867 on a small farm near Millville, Indiana. Along with his brother Wilbur, he invented and built the first successful controllable airplane. After reading about the death of pioneer glider pilot Otto Lilienthal in 1896, the brothers became interested in flying. They began study on the subject in 1899, and soon obtained all the scientific knowledge of aeronautics then available. By the fall of 1903, they had constructed a powered airplane with wings 40.5 feet (12 meters) long and weighing about 750 pounds (340 kilograms) with the pilot. They designed and built their own lightweight gasoline engine for the airplane. On December 17, 1903 near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, they made the world's first flight in a powered, heavier-than-air machine. With Orville at the controls, the plane flew 120 feet (37 meters) in 12 seconds. The brothers made three more flights that day. The longest, by Wilbur, was 852 feet (260 meters) in 59 seconds.
