Wright Brothers

he was know as a good hearted man but also had some dificult times during his life but its surprising how he turned out

20 to 25 knots

Air Travel......Planes

They were the first ones to fly an aeroplane in a controlled way - so first controlled human flight with a winged machine, so-to-say.

There were numerous other attempts before Orville and Wilbur Wright, but they ended somewhat less happily (Ikaros / Icarus from Greek mythology is the first one to spring to my mind).

It was 34 years after the first continental railroad, that the Wright brothers flew their historic flight.

It lasted for 12 seconds.

He got into to much mischief.

by car, it takes 11 hours, 26 minutes

The Wright brothers had nicknames for each other. Wilbur was known as "Ullam," short for Jullam, which is German for William.

Orville was known as "Bubbo" or "Bubs," Wilbur's pronunciation of "brother" when Orville was a baby.Wilbur's sister gave him the nickname Wittle Weebu.

No

No, he does not practice Judaism. He is not Jewish by blood either as his father is a Syrian Muslim and his mother is of Swiss and German descent.

He practices Zen Buddhism. It makes no sense as his business depends on materialistic (Buddhism preaches against materialism) people but he is a Buddhist nonetheless.

A biplane would have two wings, thus the prefix "bi".

Siblings

The study of birds in flight helped many engineers to make wing designs of an aircraft. The aerodynamics involved in the flight of the bird impressed the engineers.

Studying birds in flight hepled aircraft designers to get the Airbus A-380 airborne.

Their mother was Susan Catherine Koerner.

the brothers looked up to a man called Otto Lilienthal, who made a glider that flew over 2,000 times. also, Wilbur realized how buzzards glide when they fly, so they incorporated this into the 'Flier I'.

Each one was a pioneer in aviation

- The Wright brothers were first to fly

- Manfred von Richthofen was the first ace in WWI

- Emilia Earhart was the first woman to fly

- Charles Lindbergh was the first man to fly over the Atlantic Ocean successfully

- Charles "Chuck" Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier

To that list you can also add:

- Louis Blériot, the first man to successfully cross the English Channel

- Laika, the first living being in space

- Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space

- Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space

- Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon

- Bertrand Piccard & Brain Jones, the first men to travel around the globe successfully in a hot-air balloon

- Joseph William Kittinger II, the first man to jump with a parachute from the stratosphere (a record broken by the Austrian Felix Baumgartner in Oct. 2012)

The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, are often thought to have had a learning disability known as dyslexia, which may have affected their reading and writing skills. Despite this challenge, they excelled in hands-on problem-solving and engineering, using their practical skills to innovate and build the first successful powered aircraft. Their ability to think critically and experiment effectively overcame their difficulties with traditional learning methods.

Yes, the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, both played the piano. They had a musical background, which reflected their diverse interests beyond aviation. This musical inclination may have contributed to their creativity and problem-solving skills, which were essential in their aeronautical experiments.

According to one source, the Wright Brothers were sons of a preacher from the United Brethren Church but considered themselves more Protestant as adults.

They would pass out or have a heart attack especially if we told them that they had led us into the world of technology now their dad would be very proud of them .
