What was the size of the 1902 glider of the wright brothers?

It was a man-rated glider, 16 feet and 1 inch long, 8 feet and 1 inch tall, with a wingspan of 32 feet and 1 inch (these odd dimensions resulted from actual construction of the diagrammed 16 x 32 x 8 foot design).


Did the wright brothers build the first glider?

No. Gliders had been long around before the Wrights, Otto Lilienthal, whose work they studied extensively. Lilienthal was among the first (of many) to build gliders that were reliable and flew predictably, time after time. In aviation, 'firsts' are pretty irrelevant. To do something repeatedly and reliably is a much better proof of concept. The Wright flyer was one of the last glider-inspired designs before the 'modern' layout became the norm. "To invent an airplane is nothing. To build one is something. But to fly is everything." -Otto Lilienthal more info here: http://hawaii.psychology.msstate.edu/LilienthalMuseum/Lilmuseum.html


River that flows into long island sound?

the Connecticut river flows into the long island sound.


How was the long island sound formed?

The Long Island Sound was formed by the retreat of glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age, around 18,000 years ago. As the ice melted and receded, it left behind depressions in the land that eventually filled with water, creating the basin that we know today as the Long Island Sound.
