The Wright brothers closed their operations at Kill Devil Hills primarily due to the challenges posed by the location, including unpredictable weather conditions and logistical difficulties. They sought a more suitable environment for their continued experimentation and development of flight technology. In 1910, they moved their operations to Huffman Prairie near Dayton, Ohio, which offered better conditions for their work and the opportunity to conduct further flight tests.
