Today (April 16, 1867) is the birthday of Wilbur Wright, brother of American inventor Wright, who built the first successful aircraft.
Wilbur Wright was born April 16, 1867 in Millville, Indiana to Milton Wright, a Christian pastor, and his mother, Susan Wright. His brother Orville Wright. Both were pioneers who discovered the plane. Both were educated in a normal public school. Orville was naughty when he was in elementary school. That is why he was once expelled from school. Both were not sent to College. At a young age they were encouraged by their parents to pursue cognitive fields and to explore any interest in it. They have learned from their father such virtues as self-thinking and following a principle. The two were never married. Both learned more from the mother than from the father. The mother went to college and learned algebra and geometry. The mother taught the boys how to design ‘snow slides’, drew pictures on paper and taught both of them to do it on a board.
The mother invented the best recipe at an early age so that if you first draw accurately on paper, the knitting can be set properly while doing it. Following that, the two made a sitting ski board and participated in the competition and won the first ski race. Wilbur, an eleven-year-old boy, was amazed when he saw his mother and brother go fishing in the Dayton River and saw a bird jumping out of the sky and returning with a fish. How can a bird fly, Mom? Wilbur asked sharply. The mother said it flies with wings. Wilbur's mother's response was unsatisfactory. How's mom? When the bird floated in the water and rose above the fish, its wings did not move. His mother could not explain to him. If we have wings we can fly too, can't we, Mom? Said Wilbur.
Mother said God did not give us wings. The wings have been shown solely to give a sense of proportion. In 1878 his father was bishop of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. He traveled frequently for work. So once during his trip he bought a helicopter toy for the two children. The one-foot-long puppet was made of paper, bamboo, cork, and a rubber ring, based on the invention of the French astronomical pioneer Alphonse Penad. Wilbur Orville played until it broke. Then they restored it to themselves. They later pointed out from their experience that the toy was a starting trap for their interest in flying.
In their guesswork, those who have a deep belief in talent and an unwavering determination in decisive decision. Disappointment, despair, lack of diligence that does not dissolve the mind. Both boys had ingenuity and unmatched mechanical skills from an early age. They first invented and manufactured printing machines with self-knowledge. Next they made, manufactured and sold bicycles. The money they put into these trades was behind their aviation research. Their basic initial lesson was to study in depth the 1896 publications on the development of flying machines (Octave Chanutes) by Octave Chanutes. Sixty-year-old French American with his companions trying to fly five types of gliders more than a thousand times on a sandy platform on Lake Michigan near Chicago. When the Wright brothers began testing their vehicles in Dayton in 1900, the Sonnets became his deepest friend and frequent correspondent.
The time when the Wright brothers set foot in the aviation industry was the right moment for them to make progress. It was in 1896 that Henry Ford made his first motor car. That was the period when the diesel engine and the petrol engine were newly developed and developed. The development of aerodynamics and structural engineering engineering techniques. Putting all this together and letting the plane fly in the sky was a rare great opportunity for the Wright brothers. Wilbur was the first to master the flying machine, having studied in depth the many experiments that had been successfully carried out on the ‘unmanned vehicle’ by the German expert, Auto Lilient. In 1896, during his test by Lilient, the car fell down and he died. Once upon a time in 1899, Wilbur, after an in-depth study of eagle flight, discovered that in order for a plane to fly smoothly, it must have a three-axle engine. That is, he conceived and developed a new aerodynamic canon called ‘triple control’ of thrust, lift, and turning.
Like a bird, a flying machine must be able to float sideways. Must be able to pump up or stand down. Turn left or right. If necessary, there should be facilities to perform two or three of these movements simultaneously. The advance required a strong lightweight engine. Elevators were needed to give rise. The side rudder (Rudder) is mounted on the tail. ‘Flight control’ seemed to be the most important thing for the Wright brothers in aviation. The eagle saw the hawks fluttering their wings as they rolled. The first test they did in 1899 was to tie the rotating wings to the ‘Bi-Plane Kite’. The wings have been shown solely to give a sense of proportion.
Only two of the Wright brothers are credited with operating the first aircraft fitted with an engine and mastering the aerodynamics of the successful use of the three-pronged axle control mechanism. On December 17, 1903, 12 H.P. The ‘Kitty Hawk’ flyer with petrol engine flew over the earth for the first 12 seconds and finally at a speed of 30 mph for 59 seconds and 852 feet. The weight of the aircraft is 750 lbs. The wingspan is 40 feet 4 inches. Orville Wright was the first player to make this historic trip. After two years of refinement and distinction, in 1905 the world's first flying aircraft, the Flyer III, was built. It flew for 38 minutes in the sky and passed 24 miles. Effortlessly circled like an eighth number, turned to the side wat. In the five months since 1908, Wilbur alone has flown more than 100 times for 25 hours. Continued long journey, 2 hours 20 minutes Most of the reason for the trip was that the engine ran out of petrol, the engine is small, the petrol tank is small.
In 1909, with the help of Brother Wright, he built the world's first warplane, which was repaired and repaired by the United States. Unmarried, Wilbur Wright, a bachelor who devoted his entire life to aviation work, fell ill in 1912 while on a professional trip to Boston. He suffered from typhoid fever after returning to Dayton. He was unconscious for several days due to the severity of the disease. Wilbur Wright, who built the first successful aircraft, passed away in the United States on January 30, 1912, at the age of 45.
