What contraption did the wright brothers use to test their different model wings?
The Wright brothers were bicycle manufacturers who virtually invented the science of aerodaynamics . They built their own wind tunnel to test models and built hundreds of gliders from paper and wood to test their ideas before building their famous Flyer. To power their craft they hunted for a lightweight petrol engine in the marketplace but nothing was available with the right power to weight ratio. They decided to use a new lightweight metal called Aluminium and with an engineer friend built their own, The engine powered 2 propellers and the wing were made of doped linen with wooden spars. The wings were warped by wires strung from their newly invented 'joystick'.The undercarriage came from their bicycle shop. The design was no accident, it was the culmination of continuous improvement.

When did the wright brother build their first glider?
they flew at Kitty Hawk because there were constant winds coming off of the Atlantic, soft landing grounds, and it was also fairly desserted. This dessertedness was needed because if the paparazzi was there to record a failure (if that was the case) then they would be ruined even if they succeeded later on because the media would, as always, exaggerate. They needed a fair chance under no pressure and for the opportunity to fix mistakes. Not to mention the danger if onlookers were present during a malfunction, they wouldn't want that accident on the shoulders. hope this helped! i got this info in an article on my ACT test a couple weeks ago so it should be valid info! :)
