What was the wright brothers wind tunnel used for?
flying
How did the wright brothers figure out how to fly?
Even though they were not true scientists, only bicycle mechanics, they applied scientific research and built a wind tunnel to test different wing designs and then they built model gliders and tested them before attempting to build a man-powered airplane.
What is the purpose of a wind tunnel?
A wind tunnel is used to simulate air flow over a model of an airplane or a wing section so it can be studied. The model can be instrumented to measure the lift and drag and other parameters for study. The wind tunnel can produce air flow at the desired speed and condition. Engineers may use a wind tunnel to study and design a wing shape. The Wright Brothers developed the first wind tunnel to design the shape of the wing for their airplane. Wind tunnels can be used to study interference between parts of the aircraft or between an airplane and a bomb as it drops away. There are different types of wind tunnels: low speed wind tunnels, supersonic wind tunnels and hyper-sonic wind tunnels.
When the wright brothers had trouble controlling their glider the what?
the wings got holes in them and there was a strong wind and raining
How does the airplane invention of the wright brothers work?
The wind push the airplane. And they make the first engines a cylinder of 12 horse power.
What was the wright brothers wind tunnel used for?
flying
Was the airplane invention the Wright Brothers only invention?
wind tunnel
Who is charles taylor how did he influence aviation?
Building the wind tunnel was the first job that Charlie Taylor did for the Wright brothers that had any.

What powered the wright brother s first airplane?
The Wright brothers first airplane was a glider, -wind powered.
What year did Neil Armstrong build a small wind tunnel in the basement of his home?
1955
What was the name of the place where the wright brothers plane was invented?
The Wright Cycle Company had four different Ohio locations as the Wright brothers moved around.However, they flew from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, as the wind conditions were better there.
Did the wright bros invent anything eles but an airplane?
They did developmental work on the Wind Tunnel, and other aircraft related devices. a model of a Wright Bros Wind tunnel is on display- occasionally run-up at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia-( a museum open to the public) they also have a more modern Load cell type wind tunnel for testing model wing sections-this is about 6-l0 feet long as is the Wright prototype of l902. The Bros. made an improvised printing press as youngsters but this was probably not patented.
