Description
Reproduction
of the
photograph
documenting
the
first
powered
flight
by the
Wright
Flyer
in
Kitty
Hawk
,
North
Carolina
,
December
17
,
1903
.
Orville
and
Wilbur
Wright
, of
Dayton
,
Ohio
, were
pioneers
in the
field
of
aviation
and
manned
flight
. On
December
14
,
1903
, the
Wright
brothers
were
ready
to
test
the
aircraft
they had
built
. With
Wilbur
at the
controls
, the
experiment
failed
and the
plane
sustained
minor
damage
.
After
repairing
the
aircraft
, they
tried
again
on
December
17
. This
time
, with
Orville
piloting
, the
plane
stayed
in the
air
for
12
seconds
and
covered
120
feet
. The
length
and
duration
of the
flight
were not
much
by
today's
standards
, but the
Wright
brothers
had
demonstrated
that
sustained
flight
in a
heavier-than-air
craft
was
possible
. The
brothers
tested
their
aircraft
three
more
times
that
day
with
increasing
levels
of
success
. The
final
flight
of the
day
carried
Wilbur
852
feet
in
59
seconds
.
