 History of Wright Brothers Day

Wright Brothers Day is observed every year on 17 December. It is a day to remember the successful two American inventors who took to the air-the first powered, heavier-than-air aircraft. Orville and Wilbur Wright were his names.

The Beginning of a Dream

Orville and Wilbur Wright were brothers who hated traveling through the air. Born in Dayton, Ohio, for years, they experimented fully on flying machines. Being curious and determined, they learned the principles of flight and developed some gliders to test their hypotheses.

The First Flight

On 17 December 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, history was made by the Wright brothers. Their aircraft, the Wright Flyer, took off with Orville at the controls. The first flight lasted only 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. Though short, it proved that controlled flight was possible.

Success Continued

In addition to coming up with the first ever designs of flying machines, the Wright brothers continued to make improvements based on their very first flight. The brothers managed to create designs that would accommodate more lengthy and controlled flights. That is the fruit of hard work and innovative spirits which help to form the bedrock of all modern aviation.

Awards and Legacy

The day of the Wright Brothers was instituted to celebrate this great achievement. It has become a day for memorializing their contribution toward aviation and the change it brought forth in the world. Others were inspired by their success to chase the dream of flying, leading to the industry we are seeing today.
