inventor of the airplane

Wilbur Wright was born in 1867 in the town of Millville, Indiana. Orville Wright - his brother - born in 1871 in the city of Dayton, Ohio. Both boys are sitting in college but none earn a diploma. Both have talent in the fields of mechanics, and both are interested in the problems of human fly into the air. In 1892 they opened a store, sell, repair, and make a bike. These efforts bring in funds to continue his intentions: the investigation aeronautik sector. These brothers were engrossed in the works to pursue other aeronautik enthusiasts like: Otto Lilienthal, Octave Chanute and Samuel P. Langley. In 1899 they began working toward his own flight. In December 1903, after working hard for four years less, the results of his efforts succeeded admirably.
One may wonder to the Wright brothers to create a performance that failed to do other people. There are several reasons that make them successful. First, the two heads would be more effective than one head. Wright brothers continued to work together and Tunjang-support with very harmonious and perfect. Second, they are deftly made the decision that they first learn how to fly before trying to make the plane. At first glance it seemed contrary to the public according to size: how can learn to fly if there are no aircraft? The answer is, the Wright brothers learned to fly by using gliders.
They first observe the workings of the kite, then the launcher. The following year they brought a large gliders to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, is sufficient to be boarded and can lift a human. The aircraft is attempted. Apparently the results are not too encouraging. They make and try to complete gliders in 1901 and was followed by fabrication in 1902. Glider third is a combination of various important discoveries them. Some of the basic patent, used in 1903, deals with it rather than gliders flew their first plane. Regarding the third gliders that they have more than a thousand times mengangkasa successfully. Both Wright brothers had a Glider pilot best and most experienced in the world before they begin to make aircraft engines.
Experience the air with gliders at the core of their third success is very important. Many people who previously had never tried to make the plane had a major concern how the creation takeoff. Wright brothers rightly realized that the main problem is how to control the aircraft after being in the air. Therefore, most of the time and attention they shed on the matter of how to achieve stability of the aircraft when it was flying. They managed to create three types of basic tools to monitor the aircraft, and this is what makes them successful in the demonstration.
The Wright brothers also gave an important contribution in terms of wing design. They are aware, previous data already published, could not hold onto. Therefore, they created their own hallways wind and tried on more than two thousand different forms of wing surface. The main core of this experiment is, the two brothers were able to make the chart itself, testifies to the air pressure on the wing depends on the shape of the wing. This information is then used in the manufacture of each aircraft wing.
Besides all their findings, the brothers Wright is not going to succeed if they can be successful not appear at the right moment in history. Experimental use of flight with the engine in the first half of the 19th century clearly tending toward failure. Steam engine clearly too heavy for aviation use. At the time of the brothers Wright appeared, processing engine combustion has been found of people. However, this machine is only for general use, too heavy for use in flight. When no one factory was capable of designing machines that are light enough, the brothers Wright (with the help of an expert machine) design your own. It shows their genius because although within a relatively short yet they are capable of designing a machine that is superior than almost any other factory-made. In addition, the Wright brothers designed their own propeller. The one that they use in 1903, 66% successful.
The first flight carried out on 17 December 1903 at Kill Devil Hill near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Each of the two brothers would make two flights on that day. The first flight, which carried Orville Wright lasted 12 seconds and reaches a distance of 120 feet. Last flight, Wilbur Wright made, lasts 59 seconds and reaches a height of 852 feet. The plane which they named Flyer I (now known by the nickname Kitty Hawk) eat the cost of manufacture is less than 1000 dollars. The plane has a wing 40 feet long and weighs about 750 pounds, measuring 12-horsepower engine weighing just 170 pounds. The original aircraft is now stored neatly in the Air and Space Museum in Washington DC
Although there are five witnesses when the first flight, relatively little was reported by the newspapers on the issue the next day (and that is generally less accurate). Own hometown newspaper in Dayton Ohio completely ignoring this business. Just five years after it realized that the common world of human flight really can happen. After their flight at Kitty Hawk, the Wright brothers returned to his hometown of Dayton. There, they design and make a second plane, Flyer II. With this second plane that they did 105 flights in 1904 without attracting public attention altogether. Flyer III airplane that has been refined and made more practical in 1905. Although they are many times the air near the city of Dayton, many people still do not believe that the name was born aircraft in the world. In the year 1906 - for example - newspapers Paris edition of The Herald Tribune article entitled Flyer reduce or Liars? (Flight or pengibulan?).
In 1908 they were finally wiped out all the hesitancy and general mistrust. Wilbur Wright flew his plane to France, make a demonstration of acrobatics in the air and organizing a company to market their creations. Meanwhile, in the United States, Orville Wright deliver similar performance. Unfortunately, on 17 September 1908 crashing his plane crashed. This is the only accident that ever experienced by both of them. A passenger was killed, Orville broken leg and two ribs but soon to recover. The successful flight to inspire the U.S. government signed a contract to make planes for the United States Department of Defense, and in 1909 with government spending there is an order worth $ 30,000 for the purposes of the Air Force. Once there was a legal dispute involving patent rights between the Wright brothers with his rivals, but in 1914 the court rejected their demands. What about to say, in 1912 Wilbur Wright attacked by typhus and died at the age of forty-five years. Orville Wright who in 1915 sold their shares to a company, lived until 1948. Neither of the two brothers were never married.
Although many investigations in this field that preceded it, no doubt Wright bersaudaralah which can be regarded as the embryo discovery aircraft. Undoubtedly the discovery of the aircraft is an important historical phenomenon, both in terms of use for the purposes of peace or war. Within decades thereafter, the aircraft had constructed our world is so shriveled even outer space also seemed to touch the finger. And further than that, the invention of man is charged airplane beginner and pave the way for flight in outer space. Centuries old dream of flying that has become human. They want to float in the sky with flying carpets like in the tales of Thousand and One Nights, dreams that are far away in range. The genius of Wright bersaudaralah have to realize that dream come true, really flew by plane rather than cross-legged on the rug, puffing fairytale "Hoga" which are three feet long.
Thanks,,,,,
