Orville Wright (August 19, 1871  – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur   Wright (April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912), known  as the Wright Brothers, were American brothers   who flew a powered aircraft for the first time  in history. First of all, let’s talk about the  

History and childhood of these Wright brothers. Wilbur and Orville Wright were two of the seven   children of Milton Wright, a clergyman of English  and Dutch origin, and Susan Catherine Koerner,   of German and Swiss origin. Milton Wright’s  mother, Catherine Reeder, was a member of the  

Vanderbilt family, one of the richest families  in America. He was a descendant of the Huguenot   Gano family of New Rochelle, New York. Wilbur  was born near Millville, Indiana, in 1867,   and Orville was born in Dayton, Ohio, in 1871. The brothers never married. The other Wright  

Siblings were Reuchlin (1861–1920), Lorin  (1862–1939), Katharine Wright (1874–1929),   and twins Otis and Ida (born 1870, died in  infancy). The direct paternal line goes back   to Samuel Wright, who sailed to America  and settled in Massachusetts in 1636.  None of Wright’s children had middle names.  Instead, their father tried hard to give them  

Distinctive first names. Wilbur was named after  Willbur Fisk, a clergyman whom Milton Wright   admired, and Orville was named after Orville  Dewey. They were “Will” and “Orv” to their   friends, and in Dayton their neighbors knew them  as “The Bishop’s boys” or “The Bishop’s boys.” 

Because of their father’s position as bishop  in the “United Brethren in Christ” church,   their father traveled frequently,  and the Wrights moved frequently,   a total of twelve times, before finally returning  to Dayton permanently in 1884. Orville misbehaved   and was expelled from school once. In 1878,  while the family was living in Cedar Rapids,  

Iowa, their father brought home a toy helicopter  for his two young sons. The device was based on   the invention of French aviation pioneer  Alphonse Pénaud. It was made of paper,   bamboo and cork and a rubber band to spin its  rotor, and was about 1 foot (30 cm) long. Wilbur  

And Orville played with it until it broke, and  then they made it their own. In later years,   they pointed to their experience with the  toy as sparking their interest in flying.  On August 18, 1871, Alphonse Pénaud broke  new ground in aviation by flying the first  

Structurally balanced model aircraft 40 meters in  11 seconds in the Tuileries Garden in Paris under   the supervision of Société Aéronautique members.  This model aircraft, which he named “Planophore”,   is the first structurally balanced aircraft  in history. A similar toy attracted the Wright  

Brothers’ attention when they were children. In 1890, Wilbur and Orville Wright, two bicycle   masters from Dayton, Ohio, began systematically  studying anything that might give them clues   about how birds fly. The Wright brothers quickly  realized that there was nothing useful for them in  

The scientific works and the experiences of  ancient people, and they started with the work   of the German engineer Otto Lilienthal, who only  made glider flight experiments from a hill near   Berlin and kept careful notes on this subject. Wilbur and Orville Wright did  

Not receive scientific education, nor did they  attend a college after high school. However,   while carrying out their studies in the field of  flying, they also advanced their own methods in   this regard, thanks to hundreds of experiments  they conducted with model airplanes, kites,  

And human-carrying gliders. In order not to  fall behind as a country in the developments   in aviation, the Smithsonian Institution – USA  gave Wenham and John Browning’s wind tunnel   study of 1871, along with Lilienthal’s Lift &  Drag painting, to the Wright brothers in 1895.  Since Lilienthal studied the  flight of birds very closely,  

It should not be surprising that his glider  resembled a bird. Lilienthal showed that an   airplane capable of flying must have a fixed  wing in contact with the air. The control   necessary to achieve a stable flight could  only be provided by such a wing, as he said,  

And the Wright Brothers based themselves  on Lilienthal’s work in this regard.  The Wright brothers’ first plane, which took  off under Orville’s control in North Carolina   on December 17, 1903, was built adhering to the  aerodynamic sound theory. This plane had two  

Propellers. Its weight with the pilot was 335 kg.  On the first attempt, Orville flew for 12 seconds   and covered a distance of only 37 meters. In his  last attempt that day, this time increased to 59  

Seconds and he flew to a distance of 260 meters. The Wright Brothers had now built a plane that   could fly, but they didn’t know how to fly  it. The Smithsonian Institution continued   to convey to the Wright Brothers all the  information it had obtained by corresponding  

With leading aviators Louis Mouillard, Gabriel  Voisin, John J. Montgomery, Louis Blériot,   Alberto Santos Dumont and Percy Pilcher. On June 4, 1908, the first ‘official’ flight of   the USA was made by Canadian Glenn H. Curtis with  a plane that could take off without outside help,  

Which he named June Bug. This flight is America’s  first official “Heavier Than Air Airplane and   Flight”. Curtis holds Pilot License No. 1, while  the Wright Brothers received licenses No. 4 and 5.  Rapid aviation developments in Europe and the  US War Department and the Smithsonian Institute,  

Which started working with Canadian Glenn H.  Curtis, would continue to market the Wright   Brothers, who had difficulty even  starting the race, with the “First   Flight”. As a matter of fact, the USA organized  an International Civil Aviation conference on  

December 12, 1928, under the name of the 25th  anniversary of the First Flight. No state attended   this conference, which was announced to the world  as the ’25th Anniversary of the First Flight’,   because of the “First Flight lie”. It was  recorded in history as “A beautiful celebration.” 

On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright,  or the Wright Brothers as we know them, made the   first powered flight after decades of work. Thanks  to this short flight, we can nowadays travel   around the world as we wish. Today, everyone will agree that  

The Wright brothers’ first powered flight  was a very important invention. However,   the interesting thing is that this  success did not attract anyone’s   attention for decades. Even the local newspaper  in their area did not report their success,  

Saying the “flight was too short to be important”. The first flight took place on November 17, 1903,   at Kill Devil Hill, North Carolina. The brothers  made two flights each that day. The first   flight, made by Orville Wright, lasted 12 seconds  and covered a distance of 40 meters. Wilbur Wright  

Would manage to fly a total of 275 meters in 59  seconds. There are only 5 witnesses to these first   flights, and as we said at the beginning, the  news appeared in very few newspapers the next day.  Six months later, they invited the press to  attend their flight in 1904. Unfortunately,  

Mechanical problems and weak winds would not make  this flight possible. Reporters were convinced   that their previous suspicions were justified,  and the Wright brothers were once again ignored.   But that still wouldn’t stop them from trying. After their flight at Kitty Hawk, the Wright  

Brothers returned to Dayton where they built a  second plane – Flyer II. They made 105 flights   with this plane in 1904, but these flights did not  attract much attention. Flyer III, an advanced and   very useful model, was made in 1905. The brothers applied for a patent,  

But their success attracted almost no press  attention. Despite all the flights they had   made near Dayton, most people still did not  believe that the airplane had been invented.  Although the Wright brothers made history,  their plane was essentially just a proof  

Of concept. It was capable of straight-line  flights, but the design did not yet have any   practical use for society. Fortunately, the Wright  brothers put an end to public doubts in 1908.  Wilbur Wright took one of the planes they  built to France, made a series of public  

Flight demonstrations, and arranged for a company  to market his inventions in France. Meanwhile,   in the United States, Orville Wright was  organizing demonstrations similar to those   in France. Orville focused on performing  in his country to land a military contract.  But in 1908, Orville’s plane, in which  Army observer Thomas E. Selfridge was a  

Passenger, crashed. Selfridge died in the crash  and Orville suffered a broken leg and ribs,   resulting in back problems and sciatica  pain for the rest of his life. However,   the Wright brothers’ successful flights convinced  the United States government to sign a contract  

To purchase aircraft for the War Department. It is wise to be skeptical of the changes,   but the media’s lack of interest in the Wright  brothers’ flights was due to other reasons. In   the late 19th and early 20th centuries, people  had a pessimistic view of flying like birds. 

The brothers’ momentum came to an abrupt halt  when Wilbur caught typhoid in 1912. Wilbur died   a month later at the age of 45. Without his  brother, Orville stopped working on aircraft   designs. Orville Wright sold his shares in the  aircraft company in 1915 and lived until 1948. 

The press said that it would take  decades for this to be successful,   and the failed experiments of the Wright Brothers  supported their statements. But history has proven   them wrong. From shipping cargo to transporting  passengers to enabling future experiments in   space exploration, the Wright Brothers shaped  the 20th and 21st centuries in many ways.
