The

The Wright Bro’s

Orville Wright was born in 1871 and died in
1948.

Wilbur Wright was born in 1867 and died
1912. Wilbur is the bald one.


The Wright Family
The Wright family owned a
bicycle store. Where
Wilbur and Orville got
most of there supplies. If
they couldn’t find it there
they just built it
themselves.
The Wright brothers started
building there glider in
1902.
The glider which cost only
about 15 bucks that time
had a 32 foot wing span.


Flying The Glider
• The Wright Brothers finished there glider. In

1903, and flew it in Kitty Hawk NC. The glider
only flew for a few seconds. And there was only
few people to witness the spectacular event.
• They picked that event because it had rolling
hills and good winds.
• Before they went there though they tested it on
there wind tunnel which they made themselves.
• It took many tries to get the “right” stuff going to
fly the glider and finally now they did it.


Gliders of Today
• We wouldn’t probably accomplish our aviation
history without the Wright Brothers.
• Some people doubted them, and thought we
wouldn’t fly for couple hundred years.
• But all that mattered is that they accomplish
there dream though. Without there
accomplishment we wouldn’t probably fly across
countries today.
