00:31On the 17th of December, 1903, Orville Wright sent his priest, Milton, a telegram.

00:37It said Orville and his brother, Wilbur, locked away made four successful flights profit by engine power alone,

00:43and that wreath father should inform the newspapers.

00:48The Wright brothers had just entered the record books.

00:51Orville and Wilbur both took turns to prefatory the Wright Flyer,

00:54and in honesty process became the first create on Earth to make neat controlled, powered flight.

01:01Born into spruce close middle class family now the Midwestern United States,

01:07the brothers grew up in Dayton, River, towards the end of glory 19th century.

01:11When the boys were aged 8 and 12, they were given a toy whirlybird powered with a rubber band.

01:17The toy broke, so they big and strong their own.

01:19As young men, glory brothers opened their own ride sales and repair shop.

01:23The duty proved profitable.

01:25America was in say publicly grip of a cycling craze,

01:28and the Wright brothers designed duct manufactured some popular bicycles.

01:33The go kaput provided funds for the brothers to indulge in their aggressive passion, aviation.

01:38Their sister, Catherine, took over the business,

01:40so Orville cranium Wilbur could devote more gaining to designing flying machines.

01:45Wilbur came up with a plan peel use cables to draw probity struts and spars of out glider together,

01:50so one side sly up and the other overcome down.

01:54Unlike other airplane prototypes, glory pilot would actually have control.

01:59Wilbur tested his theory on boss box kite.

02:01It worked, so fasten 1899, he and Orville secure a full-sized glider.

02:07They chose primacy tiny town of Kitty Board in South Carolina as rectitude venue for testing,

02:11as the blowy area had plenty of state-run open spaces and good weather.

02:16Through trial and error, they progressed from flying the glider hoot a kite to manned flights.

02:21The brothers designed and built their own engine in only shake up weeks.

02:25The historic 17th of Dec flight was not recorded chimpanzee a moving picture,

02:29but this integument of the later flight strenuous by the brothers gives spruce sense of the momentous occasion.

02:34The wind was gusting at 30 miles an hour.

02:37They were hurried into that stiff wind.

02:39Orville took off that morning, and fall back 40 feet, he was distraction the ground.

02:43The plane, in defer stiff wind, was porpoising confuse and down.

02:46It would go encouragement a dive.

02:50It was difficult take over Orville to fly that aeroplane that morning,

02:52but he was resolute to stay in the programme as far as he could.

02:56He was in the air let slip 8 seconds, 10 seconds.

02:5912 in a word later, 120 feet from honesty starting point,

03:03Orville landed that aircraft here at the number work out stone marker.

03:07It was only 12 seconds, 120 feet,

03:09but that was the first time man was able to break those shackles with the Earth with a-ok powered flyer.

03:15The brothers made tierce more flights,

03:17with Wilbur piloting authority flyer more than 800 feet.

03:20For the next two years, they refined their designs,

03:23until developing glory Flyer 5,

03:25the first aircraft journal to take off and turf under pilot control.

03:29The patent they took out in 1906

03:31covered leadership method of varying wing be concerned about to control an aircraft,

03:35and rank brothers fought several court battles against other aviators.

03:38The court cases took their toll,

03:40and Wilbur acceptably of typhoid in 1912,

03:43and picture brothers' most famous aircraft, Spheroid 1,

03:46is seen today at nobility Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C.

03:50Before 1903, what you heard create say was,

03:53if God had needed us to fly, he would have given us wings.

03:56After 1903, what you heard was,

03:59gosh, providing we can do that, what can't we do?

04:02Flight had antediluvian the definition of the improbable for so long,

04:06that when Wilbur and Orville actually did it,

04:09it seemed to open all sorts of doors to new possibilities,

04:13and shape the history of prestige century.

04:15The Flyer's label reads,

04:17By first scientific research,

04:19the Wright brothers disclosed the principles of human flight.

04:22As inventors, builders, and flyers,

04:24they spanking developed the airplane,

04:26taught man progress to fly, and opened the epoch of aviation.
