Coming Soon…
When Wilbur and Orville came home from Kitty Hawk in December 1903, they knew that they were standing at a crossroads. They had proved that mechanical flight was possible, but hadn’t proved that it was practical.
The Wright brothers never wanted to invent just a scientific curiosity, or a marvelous plaything. As the Wright brothers stated…
"From the beginning, the prime object was to devise a machine of practical utility, rather than a useless and extravagant toy…"
By October 1905, the Wright brothers’ new machine took off and landed safely, turned gracefully in the sky, and flew for as long as the gas tank held fuel. A remarkable machine, it was the world’s first practical airplane.
