History of Aviation Course is designed: To enable students to demonstrate the factors that

were conducive to development of aviation; To facilitate students in comprehending the implications

aviation has had on human life; To familiarize students with the timeline of aviation, and

to shed light on important milestones; To promote and understanding of basic systems, and

to bring students up to date with the systems and

controls in use today;

Wright Brothers In May 1899, Wilbur wrote a letter to the Smithsonian

Institution, asking for any papers it might have on flight

and a reading list of books on the subject.

When the Wrights had acquainted themselves with the

works of others, they identified an area that seemed to

have been neglected: control.

This gave them a vital advantage over others.

Wright Brothers Men such as Langley had imagined a flying machine to

be rather like a car an essentially stable machine to

be switched on and then steered. However, the Wrights instinctively felt that a flying

machine was more like a bicycle, and would need to be

flown with constant adjustments of balance. From the

start they posed the problem not simply of how to build

a flying machine, but also how to fly it. The Wright Brothers developed their plans for a flying

machine from bicycle concepts

Wright Brothers Watching soaring birds, Wilbur was struck by the

movement of the feathers on their wingtips, which kept

the birds lateral balance. The brothers puzzled for along time over achieving a similar effect on an aircraft

wing, until Wilbur had a sudden moment of inspiration.

Absent-mindedly twisting the ends of a narrow

cardboard box in opposite directions, he saw that the

same could be done with a wing. Wing-warping had

been devised.

Wright Brothers When the weather was right for a glide, the contraption

was dragged to the top of a high dune. Either Wilbur or

Orville climbed on board, while the other and anassistant held a wingtip. When the pilot was ready, they

ran the glider downhill into the wind until it lifted off into

skimming flight.

To their immense satisfaction, the Wrights found thatthe controls operated well, achieving balanced flight

and smooth landings.

Wright Brothers The Wrights based the design of their first full-size

glider on the work of their recent predecessors which

flew well in the 1896 experiments near Chicago. The Wrights designed the wings with camber, a

curvature of the top surface. The Wrights mounted the horizontal elevator in front of

the wings rather than behind, apparently believing this

feature would help avoid a nosedive and crash

Kitty Hawk, North Carolina,

the Wright Flyer became thefirst powered, heavier-than-

air machine to achieve

controlled, sustained flight

with a pilot aboard.
