Seven requirements:
Carry a pilot
Carry a passenger
125 mile range
Fly at least 36 mph under perfect control
Take off and land in a war zone
Disassembled for transport by wagon
Reassembled in 1 hour
Contract called for Wrights to train 2 pilots for Army

54. Developments in the United States
Orville began building the plane and Wilbur signed $100,000 to form a French aircraft building company

55. Developments in the United States
1908 – Orville completed 12 successful flights but on 13th flight…

56. Developments in the United States
1908 – Sept 17 (Fort Myers, VA) - Passenger Army Lt Thomas Selfridge died when the propeller broke while 75 ft in air and the plane crashed - Orville had serious injuries

57. Developments in the United States
Army bought first plane for $25,000 plus a $5,000 bonus because the aircraft exceeded speed requirements

58. Who was Lt Thomas Selfridge?
Role with AEA – what did he contribute?
- was government representative to the AEA and served as its secretary
Selfridge became the first US military officer to pilot a modern aircraft when he took to the air alone in AEA's newest craft, White Wing, traveling 100 feet on his first attempt and 200 feet on his second

59. Lt Thomas Selfridge and Orville Wright – just prior to take off

60. On September 17, 1908, the Wright Flyer circled Fort Myer 4½ times at 150 feet. Halfway through the fifth circuit, the right propeller broke, losing thrust. This set up a vibration, causing the split propeller to hit a guy wire bracing the rear vertical rudder. The wire tore out of its fastening and shattered the propeller; the rudder swiveled to the horizontal and sent the Flyer into a nose-dive. Orville shut off the engine and managed to glide to about 75 feet, but the Flyer hit the ground nose first.[

64. When the craft hit the ground, both Selfridge and Wright were thrown against the remaining wires. Selfridge was thrown against one of the wooden uprights of the framework, and his skull was fractured. He underwent neurosurgery but died that evening without regaining consciousness.[1] He was 26.
Orville suffered severe injuries, including a broken left thigh, several broken ribs and a damaged hip, and was hospitalized for seven weeks. Selfridge was not wearing any headgear, while Wright was only wearing a cap, as two existing photographs taken before the flight prove. If Selfridge had been wearing a helmet of some sort, he most likely would have survived the crash. As a result of Selfridge's death, the US Army's first pilots wore large heavy headgear reminiscent of early football helmets.
