Wright Brothers Story
23
Chapter 1 Introduction to Air Power
24
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.
25
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
26
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
27
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
28
Observed birds and noticed they maneuvered in flight by twisting their wings Developed the wing-warping technique Tested on kite – then glider
30
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
32
They enlisted mechanic Charlie Taylor who built a water cooled 12 hp engine Connected via bicycle chains to the sprockets which turned the propellers
