Father of aviation engine

The Wright Brothers refer to Orville (August 19, 1871 - January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867 - May 30, 1912). American. The world generally believes that on December 17, 1903, they completed the first fully controlled flight with on-board external power, the body was heavier than air, and continued to stay in the air without landing, and thus credited with the invention of the world's first practical aircraft. to them.

Both the Wright brothers received a good education, but neither received a diploma. In 1884, the family moved from Richmond, Indiana to Ohio. Orville dropped out of college in his third year (1889) and started a printing business with the help of his brother. Wilbur was editor and Orville was publisher of the weekly West Side News (which a few months later became the Evening Item). Affected by the nationwide bicycle craze, the brothers opened a bicycle repair shop (Wright Bicycle Repair Shop, later becoming Wright Bicycle Company) in 1892, and began producing their own brand of bicycles in 1896. They used this unremitting spirit to build their interest in flying. In early 1890, they published articles in newspapers and magazines as well as the aircraft concept drawings of Otto Lilienthal of Germany. In May 1896, Samuel Langley's steam airplane model of Smithsonian College successfully flew, followed by Octave Chanute, a Chicago engineer and authority dedicated to flight research. Several model airplanes were flown in the sand dunes and lakes of Michigan. This series of events attracted the attention of the Wright brothers. In May 1899 Wilbur wrote a letter to Smithsonian College requesting aviation information and books. Based on sketches and inspirations from Sir George Cayley, Chanute, Lilienthal, Leonardo da Vinci, and Langley, the Wright brothers began their experiments in mechanical aviation. The Wright brothers' image in front of the public has always been one, and they share the fruits of invention and honor. Careful biographer James Tobin discovered that Wilber's "my" machine and "my" plan he wrote in 1899-1900 were later changed from the first person singular to the plural "we" and "our". “It’s hard to imagine what kind of power someone as smart as Orville could use to succeed. From a small store in Ohio to negotiating with capitalists and presidents, Orville did it. He was a leader from beginning to end.

"After the Wright brothers completed all theoretical research, they began to practice. Their bicycle shop clerk Charlie Taylor became an important member of the team, and the three of them worked together to build the first aircraft engine.

Flying in the sky like a bird has been a dream of mankind since ancient times. For its realization, people have made unremitting efforts for many years, even at the cost of the lives of many pioneers. 1903 1 The Wright brothers and their airplane

On February 17, the world's first manned powered airplane took to the skies in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA. This airplane was called "Flight." "No. 1", its inventors are the American brothers Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright. The Wright brothers' first powered sustained flight realized the long-awaited dream of mankind and ushered in the era of human flight. From then on, Wilbur Wright was born on April 16, 1867, and his brother Orville Wright was born on August 19, 1871. They had a strong interest in mechanical assembly and flying since childhood. Engaged in the bicycle repair and manufacturing industry. The Wright brothers originally made a living by repairing bicycles. The brothers were smart and studious. Since 1896, they have been enthusiastic about flight research. After many studies and experiments, they quickly came to a conclusion: To solve the unsolved key problem of aircraft control, some kind of mechanical device that can make aerodynamics work must be installed. According to this idea, they conducted several cold and hot experiments on the manned glider over the Kitty Hawk Sand Dunes. , their dream finally became a reality. The news of Otto Lilienthal's successful test flight made them determined to fly. In 1896, Lilienthal's test flight crashed, prompting them to focus on the balance control of the aircraft. They especially studied the flight of birds and delved deeply into almost all books on aviation theory at that time. During this period, the aviation industry suffered successive setbacks. The flight technician Peel's plane crashed and many people died, the inventor of the heavy machine gun Maxim failed to fly, and the aeronautical scientists. Langley even dropped people into the water, etc., which made most people think that it was completely impossible for the aircraft to fly on its own power. From 1900 to 1902, they did not give up their efforts. In addition to multiple gliding test flights, he also made more than 200 different wings and conducted thousands of wind tunnel experiments. He corrected some of Lilienthal's erroneous flight data and designed a wing cross-section shape with greater lift. After all, the glider's time in the air is limited, but if the aircraft is equipped with power and enough fuel, it can fly, take off and land freely. Therefore, the Wright brothers began to develop a powered aircraft. Working, they soon designed an engine with excellent performance and an efficient propeller, and then successfully assembled the various components into the world's first powered aircraft. In 1903, they built the first self-powered aircraft. The aircraft "Aviator" 1 is powered for manned flight. The aircraft has a wingspan of 13.2 meters, an elevator in front, a rudder in the rear, two pairs of two-blade propellers driven by chains, and a skid-type landing device. There is a four-cylinder engine weighing 70 kilograms and producing 8.8 kilowatts of power. This famous aircraft in aviation history is now on display at the Air and Space Museum in Washington, USA. The "Aviator" is an ordinary biplane. Its two pusher propellers are installed on both sides of the driver's position and are chain-driven by a single engine. In 1904, the Wright brothers built the second "Flyer" equipped with a new engine and conducted a test flight at Hoffman Prairie near Dayton. The longest sustained flight time was more than 5 minutes and the flight distance was 4.4,000 miles. meters; in 1905, the third "Aviator" was tested, piloted by Wilbur, and it lasted 38 minutes and flew 38.6 kilometers. On the day of the first test flight, the weather was cold and windy. First, his brother Orville Wright piloted the "Aviator" aircraft, staying empty for 12 seconds and flying 36.5 meters. On the same day, the plane made three more flights, with the best result being his brother Wilbur Wright. He flew the plane continuously for 260 meters in the air. From December 14th to 17th, 1903, "Aviator" 1 conducted its fourth test flight on a sand dune in Kitty Hawk, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA. The first test flight, piloted by Orville Wright, flew 36 meters and remained empty for 12 seconds.

The fourth time was by Wilbur. Piloted by Wright, the aircraft flew 260 meters and remained airborne for 59 seconds. In 1906, their aircraft was patented in the United States. The success of the Wright Brothers' flight was not initially valued and recognized by the U.S. government and the public, and was still doubted by people until 1907. Instead, it was France that first gave their achievements a correct evaluation in 1908, and this set off a revolution that swept the world. Aviation boom. For this reason, they finally received the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor in 1909. In the same year, they founded the "Wright Aircraft Company". Wilbur. Wright died on May 29, 1912, at the age of 45. After that, Orville Wright worked hard for 30 years to make Wright Aircraft Company a world-famous aircraft manufacturer with a capital of tens of billions of dollars. Orville. Wright died on January 3, 1948. Statue of the Wright Brothers
