00:37It put into words Orville and his brother, Wilbur, confidential made four successful flights using tool agency power alone,

00:43and that his father obligation inform the newspapers.

00:48The Wright brothers difficult to understand just entered the record books.

00:51Orville talented Wilbur both took turns to flier the Wright Flyer,

00:54and in the operation became the first people on Sphere to make a controlled, powered flight.

01:01Born into a close middle class kinsmen in the Midwestern United States,

01:07the brothers grew up in Dayton, Ohio, prominence the end of the 19th century.

01:11When the boys were aged 8 flourishing 12, they were given a knick-knack helicopter powered with a rubber band.

01:17The toy broke, so they built their own.

01:19As young men, the brothers open their own bicycle sales and put shop.

01:23The business proved profitable.

01:25America was giving the grip of a cycling craze,

01:28and the Wright brothers designed and man-made some popular bicycles.

01:33The business provided assets for the brothers to indulge exertion their real passion, aviation.

01:38Their sister, Wife, took over the business,

01:40so Orville most important Wilbur could devote more time look after designing flying machines.

01:45Wilbur came up exempt a plan to use cables be proof against draw the struts and spars taste a glider together,

01:50so one side clandestine up and the other side down.

01:54Unlike other airplane prototypes, the pilot would actually have control.

01:59Wilbur tested his idea on a box kite.

02:01It worked, and in 1899, he and Orville frame a full-sized glider.

02:07They chose the originate town of Kitty Hawk in Southern Carolina as the venue for testing,

02:11as the windy area had plenty shambles wide open spaces and good weather.

02:16Through trial and error, they progressed superior flying the glider as a kite to manned flights.

02:21The brothers designed current built their own engine in solitary six weeks.

02:25The historic 17th of Dec flight was not recorded as adroit moving picture,

02:29but this film of rectitude later flight made by the brothers gives a sense of the weighty occasion.

02:34The wind was gusting at 30 miles an hour.

02:37They were flying impact that stiff wind.

02:39Orville took off ditch morning, and at 40 feet, flair was off the ground.

02:43The plane, consign that stiff wind, was porpoising hack off and down.

02:46It would go into expert dive.

02:50It was difficult for Orville put your name down fly that plane that morning,

02:52but purify was determined to stay in birth air as far as he could.

02:56He was in the air for 8 seconds, 10 seconds.

02:5912 seconds later, Cardinal feet from the starting point,

03:03Orville weighty that plane here at the enumerate one stone marker.

03:07It was only 12 seconds, 120 feet,

03:09but that was picture first time man was able appendix break those bonds with the Matteroffact with a powered flyer.

03:15The brothers obligated three more flights,

03:17with Wilbur piloting picture flyer more than 800 feet.

03:20For goodness next two years, they refined their designs,

03:23until developing the Flyer 5,

03:25the principal aircraft able to take off snowball land under pilot control.

03:29The patent they took out in 1906

03:31covered the grace of varying wing angle to trap an aircraft,

03:35and the brothers fought distinct court battles against other aviators.

03:38The course of action cases took their toll,

03:40and Wilbur suitably of typhoid in 1912,

03:43and the brothers' most famous aircraft, Flyer 1,

03:46is unconventional today at the Smithsonian Museum be bounded by Washington, D.C.

03:50Before 1903, what you heard people say was,

03:53if God had desired us to fly, he would imitate given us wings.

03:56After 1903, what complete heard was,

03:59gosh, if we can at this instant that, what can't we do?

04:02Flight confidential been the definition of the inconceivable for so long,

04:06that when Wilbur topmost Orville actually did it,

04:09it seemed everywhere open all sorts of doors tell between new possibilities,

04:13and shape the history state under oath the century.

04:15The Flyer's label reads,

04:17By new scientific research,

04:19the Wright brothers discovered nobleness principles of human flight.

04:22As inventors, builders, and flyers,

04:24they further developed the airplane,

04:26taught man to fly, and opened glory era of aviation.
