Wright Brothers Story

Chapter 1 Introduction to Air Power

 Mission:  Identify the significant contributions that advanced air and space power.  Identify the individuals with the contributions they made to developing the airplane.  EQ: Describe some of the innovations that led to advances in air and space power.

 Initial pioneers of aviation struggled with the forces of flight  How to develop Lift to get them in air  How to sustain the lift  How to develop a way to control the aircraft

 Balloonists solved the first 2 problems by building aircraft lighter than air ◦ (Created lift)  Kept aloft by dumping ballast or maintaining fire to heat the air ◦ (Sustained lift)  So the issue came down to control  An Airplane doesn’t have a balloon to keep aloft – early pioneers had all three problems

 The Wright Brothers – Orville and Wilbur  Approach to flight was to first ◦ develop an aircraft that would fly ◦ Aircraft that could be controlled in flight ◦ And then to add a power plant

 Observed birds and noticed they maneuvered in flight by twisting their wings  Developed the wing-warping technique  Tested on kite – then glider

 Contacted Weather Bureau for location of sustained wind ◦ Kill Devil Hills, NC  By October 1902, had over 1,000 successful glider flights – had solved all of the major control problems –  just needed a suitable power plant

 They enlisted mechanic Charlie Taylor who built a water cooled 12 hp engine  Connected via bicycle chains to the sprockets which turned the propellers
