The Wright brothers rode their first glider off a hill. I assume you actually meant their wright flyer. For that, they used a twelve horse-power engine of their own making.

How did the Wright brothers know what propeller to use?
they studied different propellers each time about 87 times
What objects use air resistance?
a parachute and a glider
What materials can you use to make a hang glider for physics class?
u can use rubber bands and wood to make a hang glider but only if it is supposed to be a small one.
Why do skydivers use parachutes scientifically speaking?
So as not to hit the ground at 120+ MPH.
You are seated in a train that is stopped at a station Use two different reference points to explain that the train can appear to be moving and not moving?
the person standing on the ground, the train is moving and the ground is stationary. but the person on the train looks he is stationary and the ground is moving.
Where can I see a picture of the plane flown by the Wright brothers?

What material did the wright brothers use to build a airplane?
the wright brothers used ballsuel wood
What was the wing covering on the 1902 glider made by the Wright Brothers?
It was made with chocolate brownies and peanut butter cookies. They put extra peanut butter to make them stable. They didn't use much sugar because it would make it crumble. This was the earliest glider ever made that was edible.
What main items did the wright brothers use in their first airplane?
The Wright brothers used spruce to make their frame and stretched muslin over it for the covering.
How did the wright brothers use the scienific method?
The Wright Brothers studied the flight of birds in order to understand how they fly and then applied what they learned to airplane designs.
What things did the wright brothers use to make their airplane?
food
Do you still use the wright brothers planes?
no now its not useing
What did the wright brothers use to test their theory of flight?
A Balloon
Did the wright brothers use the Bernoulli's principle in the invention of the airplane?
no
Why the wright brothers invente this airplane?
Strangely enough, the Wright Brothers did not invent the airplane! Don't believe it? Do your homework. Airplane flights of 2 hours and longer were quite common before the Brothers got off the ground. Technology and Physics of lift and wing shapes was already proven and in use. Getting airborne with self-contained power was the only missing link.
How does a glider become airborne?
During World War 2, most military gliders were pulled into the air and to their point of release by another powered airplane. Modern sports gliders also use this method. The Wright Brothers launched their glider using a Tower and a falling weight. I think I have read about early "barn stormers' in the 1930's who launched aircraft with something like a bungee rope. There there is the easy way; push the glider down a steep hill that has a wind blowing into the glider.
What did th Wright brothers use to make their airplane?
Wood, cloth, steel.
