Wilbur and Orville Wright are two brothers who made the first successful fight. In 1900, the Wright Brothers ventured to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Their reason in choosing this particular place was because they heard that the tall sand dunes, produce good winds for launching their glider and soft grounds for landings. The area was also quiet and more excluded from people than other parts of the inland.
After many successful flights with gliders between 1900 and 1902, they decide to add a motor to their glider in 1903. After many delays and problems, they had their first successful airplane flight on December 17, 1903. They lunched a series of 4 flights that day, the last one reaching a distant of 852 feet. They showed us something that changed our minds about flying and something that changed our world forever.
