Why did the Wright Brothers test their gliders and planes at Kitty Hawk?
They flew their plane at kitty hawk because the land there was flat and they thought that it would be perfect to fly and land there . There were sand dunes there so they had a better chance of survival in the event of a crash - softer landings; No trees in the general area to crash into;. They needed a location with a steady wind.
Do you think humanity would be flying without the Wright brothers?
Yes. The Wright brothers weren't the only ones trying to develop an airplane, and they were far from the first to create a flying machine--George Cayley, a Briton, made a glider with "flappers" for power in the early 1800s. I think if the Wrights wouldn't have worked on airplanes, someone else would have figured out you can put a gasoline engine on a glider and have an airplane that can take off and land under its own power.
