1. The Wright Brothers and the Airplane
By Dorothy Madronich and Shelby Pisani

2. Overview Airplanes Who came up with the first idea of the airplane
Who was the first to invent the airplane
What they were used for
How the airplane changed over time

3. Inspiration to fly Birds, kites, and gliders.
Many people studied birds and kites to get an idea of how to fly.
People would attach wings to themselves and flap them and try to fly but it failed.
Inspiration to fly

4. Hot air balloon First successful air flight
Only problem was you can not control where you go
During civil war they were used by armies to look at enemy troops.
They are a balloon heated with hot air because hot air rises
Hot air balloon

5. First Plane
Otto Lilitenthal was the first to come up with the idea of lift function
He thought the bird wings were separate and distinct
Tried to mimic birds wing craft
Played a big part in the emerging field and profiting the glider.

6. Wright Brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright
Had 3 others siblings they were the sons of Bishop Milton and Susan, Katharine Milton.
There father was editor of the news paper and had a job in the ministry so they moved often.

7. Wilbur Wright Went to Central High School and studied Greek and Math.
Played hockey in High School and home bond for 4 years.
Helped his brother make the printing press
Wilbur Wright

8. Orville Wright Designed the printing press.
Published a weekly and monthly newspaper.
Had a bike shop with his brother and had there own bike brand and self oiling wheel hub.

9. Wright Brothers
The loved to tinker and learned from there mom who always fixed up things around the house.
There mom would to pay them to fix things around the house.

10. Getting involved
Before building there own plane they improved the glider.
They made a rudder and flaps so the polite could control the direction and height of the plane

11. Wright Brothers Plane
In 1889 the brothers developed a simple system to wrap the wings of the biplane which made the glider.
In 1900 and 1902 there test had lack of control which brought them back to the drawing board

12. Composition Samuel Langley Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.
He made a powered air craft
Last two attempts failed which took him out of the competition.

13. First Flight
The Wright Brothers failed again when there propellers broke.
Orville resoled the problem by using spring steel to make a new set of shafts.
On December 17, 1903 the Wright Brothers made there first flight that lasted 12 seconds and went 120feet
They made four other flights and the longest went feet

14. Wright Brothers Success
They were the first people to fly a plane with someone in it.
The Franklin Institute became the first scientific Institution to recognize the Wright Brothers achievement in 1914
Orville Wright expected the Cresson metal for scientific achievement
In 1928 the first plane they flew was put in National Air museum

15. Telling their story
At first not many people believed them even though they got it on picture
The first person they told was there dad and he very so proud.
His words were “ Neither could he have mastered the problem alone. As inseparable twins they are inseparable to each other”

16. Assembly Line
Is the arrangement of machines, tools and workers to assembly a product.
The assembly line revolutionized the history of the airplane.

17. World Wars In World War 1 aircraft were used as weapons.
Following the war aircraft technology continued to develop
Air craft played a primary part in World War II and all other wars

18. World Wars
Wars were filled with blimps, planes, and tethered balloons.
By the end of the World Wars plane became a symbol of fear.
Soon all countries in the world had there little air force.

19. World Wars
Changed the dramatics of the airplane’s assembly line forever.
The assembly line went from a small compound of American to the largest in the world in just a few years.
Eventually producing over 3,000 air craft during world War 2.
In roughly 6000 planes were being built on assembly lines in the U.S.
By 1943 over two million people worked in the industry, growing the revenue.
