4. Developing the Airplane
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

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

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

22. Today’s Mission Requirements
Identify the cost and type of the engine.
Identify the landing gear and the launching of the “Flyer”.
Describe the first attempted flight on Dec. 14, 1903.
Describe the 1st flight on Dec. 17, 1903
List the four flights on Dec. 17 with time and distance.
What was the significance of the Wright Brothers flights on Dec. 17, 1903
EQ:
Describe the events leading to the first controlled, sustained, powered, heavier- than-air flight by the Wright Brothers.

25. Developing the Airplane
By Sept 1903, the engine was installed on the aircraft called the “Flyer”
12hp - water cooled - 4 cylinder engine
The 1903 “Flyer” cost $1000

27. Developing the Airplane
The “Flyer” has no wheels but landed on a pair of skids
They created a long rail in which the aircraft sat on a trolley.
The aircraft was held by a wire until the engine was running at full power – it would be released

29. Developing the Airplane
First flight was Dec 14, 1903 but the aircraft stalled and fell back to earth.

31. Developing the Airplane
3 days later (Dec 17, 1903) - winds over 20 mph
Orville fitted into cradle, started engine, turned up to full power and the wire was released

35. Developing the Airplane
Orville piloted the aircraft into the air and flew for 12 seconds – over 120 feet from the end of the track
Dec 17, 1035am

36. Developing the Airplane
Three more flights that day
Last flight with Wilbur at the controls
Flew for 59 seconds that covered 852 feet
4 flights – Dec 17, 1903
12 sec – 120 ft - Orville
13 sec – 175 ft - Wilbur
15 sec – 200 ft - Orville
59 sec – 852 ft - Wilbur

37. After the last flight a gust of wind flipped the “Flyer” and badly damaged it
It never flew again

38. With the “Wright Flyer”

Sustained
Powered
Heavier than air flight was achieved
Real flight was born.
