When did the worlds first helicopter fly?
In Germany, inside a warehouse, with Hanna Reitsch at the controls. About 1933.
When did the wright brothers live?
They mainly moved from place to place but both brothers lived in a house on 7 Hawthorn Street, Dayton, Ohio.
it depends. the first design was made by Leonardo Da Vinci. The first plane to fly was the Wright brothers.
Most people believe the wright brothers did. no one is for sure, well most people believe its the wright brothers
Was the airplane invented during the 17th to 18th century?
technically no - there were successful attempts at gliding and using kites to lift a man into the air at least as early as the 17th century but no one that early understood how wings/lift worked and so couldn't design or build an airplane that flew consistantly or predictably - kites carrying people are not really a type of plane even though they are a flying wing as they become uncontrollable as soon as their line is cut
lift was not understood until about the 1890s, mostly with the wind tunnel experiments of the wright brothers, which is a major reason they were successful as they were the first to fully understand why wings work
Which of the Wright brothers was the first to fly a plane?
Orville was the first to fly. He traveled 120 feet.
How old were Orville and Wilbur Wright when they heard about Otto Lilienthal?
It's hard to say exactly when they first heard of Lilienthal. But in 1896 newspapers in the US were carrying stories about Lilienthal's work and his death. The brothers likely read the story then. That means they would have been in their 30s likely.
When did the Wright Brothers fly the first plane?
On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright won the coin toss and piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above the beach at Kitty Hawk, NC.

they went to maranatha
Parkland Public School

When and where did the Wright brothers go to school?
The Wright Brothers went to school in Dayton, OH in the late 1880s and early 1890s. They did not finish high school nor go to college.
What year was the airplane invented in?
The airplane was invented in the late 1890's. The first recognised flight was in 1903.
Why did the Wright brothers want to invent the airplane?
Since the brothers were young they had been interested in aviation. Wilbur's mature interest was first triggered by an article on Otto Lilienthal in an issue of McClure's Magazine in 1894. Lilienthal made gliders. While his interest was triggered, he became a serious thinker about human flight in 1896, when the same Otto Lilienthal was killed accidently during a glider flight. Photo's of Lilienthal and his gliders made this serious interest of Wilbur. Wilbur than began to study bird flight. to study his conclusions more he wrote a letter to the Smithsonian institution in May 1899, asking for more study material. Around this time Orville got as enthusiastic as his brother.
They were tinkerers and inventors who liked to invent mobiles (it was a passion)
What they did do was to build the first heavier than air craft which flew. Powered flight. Kittyhawk, North Carolina 1903. Lighter than air craft had been around for a long time before that.
If by why, you meant what made them decide to do it, it's human nature to invent things. They saw birds fly and thought why can't man?
becouse they wanted faster transpertation they first found this by paper.
When they stopped getting laid by hot looking females in their area and realized that they needed to conquest new territory (Had to slay some more pussy somewhere else) and knew that walking or driving would take too long.
The Wright Brothers were inventors and we always looking for improvements in existing inventions. They believed that powered flight was possible and set out to prove it.
so that they would be able to fly
Who invented the first engine powered airplane?
The Wright brothers, of course!
On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made four brief flights at Kitty Hawk with their first powered aircraft.
What are 5 things the wright brothers did?
Invented the first controlled airplane
Flew the first controlled airplane
Tested the first controlled airplane
Created the first controlled airplane
and....
the last is for another Wiki-Goer.
Where did the Wright brothers build the 1903 Wright Flyer?
It was built in the rear of their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, which Henry Ford moved to Greenfield Village in his home town of Dearborn, Michigan. You can visit Greenfield Village and the Wright Brother's original shop which has been beautifully restored. Henry Ford moved many other historic buildings from around the country to Greenfield Village for preservation for future generations. It's all there right next door to the Henry Ford Museum!
When did the wright brothers die?
Orville wright died January 30th 1948 in Dayton Ohio when he was 77 years old. Wilber Wright died May 30th 1912 in Dayton Ohio. when he was 45 years old.
How did airplanes change society and science?
They changed science since the Wright brothers made a breakthrough that men can travel faster over water and land in less amount of time. No people can travel greater distances then they could before in a less amount of time. Now men can fly like the birds. Also, in wars, the airplanes can fly over the battle fields and drop bombs down to the enemey's camp creating an easier way to victory. There are many different ways as to it change society, these are just a few.
Where did the Wright brothers build their plane?
It was generally built in their shop in Dayton, Ohio, which is now preserved as the Wright Cycle Company Complex unit of Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. The parts got shipped to North Carolina for final assembly before flight.
When did passengers first start traveling by airplane?
Very early flights for passengers were usually for pleasure rather than travel. It was such a novelty! As far as I know, the first scheduled flights for the public began to operate in about 1912, but only over short distances. Anything much more than 30 miles or so was rare at that stage. Austria claims to have been the first country to have had regular scheduled long-distance air services. Apparently they started to operate early in 1918 on the route Vienna - Krakow (now in Poland) - Lviv (now in the Ukraine). In 1918 these places were all in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Unfortunately, I don't have the mileage, but the distances would have run to some hundreds of miles. NOTE. Please check this, as it seems very early for the kind of distances. In the early days, flights seldom operated every day of the week and air travel was very expensive. Some years years ago I saw a replay of a film made in 1938 (so on eve of WW2) by British Imperial Airways of a flight from London to Bombay (now Mumbai) and Delhi, both then in British India. From what I remember the journey took three days. The passengers spent each night on the ground at a hotel and all dressed up terribly elegantly for dinner. :)
Where did the Wright Brothers make their first flight?
Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
The first controlled, powered, heavier-than-air flight on 17 December 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
At kitty hawk at devil's hill.
they tested it in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
The Wrights flew most of their aircraft at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
It was actually made from Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina not Kitty Hawk. And in Kill Devil Hills there is a hill named Kill Devil Hill. That is where they took off from on that first flight with Orville Wright as pilot on December 17, 1903.
What things have been affected by the making of the airplane in 1900 by the Wright Brothers?
The Wright Brothers invention changed many aspects of our world. Economically, it started the foundations of a huge industry, generating such companies as Boeing and Airbus. It changed warfare forever, by taking the fight to the skies and providing a more accurate means to use explosive devices. The airplane has broken down cultural barriers by opening trade up to nations that were once considered 'too far away' to bother with. No longer have humans been restricted to the boundaries and restrictions of land, but have been able to go above and beyond them with the airplane.
Katharine Wright Haskell was the sister of brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright. In 1926, some 14 years after Wilbur's death, Katherine married someone that Orville disapproved of, leading to an estrangement.
She died of pneumonia on March 3, 1929 (age 54).
