Ovil Wright

Wright Brothers

and Wilbe Wilbe Wilbe Wilbe Wilbe Wilbe Lelbe Wright is a brother. People may ask why Lite Brothers can do things that many others can't do, there are several reasons. First, the wisdom of two people is much stronger than one person. Lite brothers are always working together, with a tacit understanding. Second, they made a broad decision, learn to fly before trying to dynamic aircraft.

This sounds a bit absurd, how can it be able to learn to fly without planes? It turned out that Leite brothers used glider to learn to fly.

Anecdotes

Takeoff Preparation

They began trial kite and gliders in 1899. In the following year, they took their first level (ie, the size of the manned size) to the cattle village in North Carolina, but the result is not very satisfactory. They have been manufactured and tested in 1901 and 1902, which condensed their most important innovations (some of the basic patents for the 1903 applications were in the first. Dynamic aircraft is related to it is related to the third glider]. They used this glider to do multiple flight trials. Lite brothers have become the best, most experienced gliding in the world before starting to make a power plane. Pilot.

Gliding experience provides a third clue for their success. Most of the previous moments The people are mainly worried about how to leave the ground, and the Lite brothers correctly realize that the biggest problem is how to control the aircraft after delivery. Thus, they use most of the time and energy to explore the stable and balance of the aircraft during flight. Method They successfully invented the three-axis manipulation method of the aircraft, thereby got a thorough manipulation of the aircraft.

Lite brothers also made an important contribution to the wing design. They quickly realized the past The published data is unreliable, so he has created its own wind hole; and testing the wings of more than two hundred shapes, according to these experiments, the chart of the relationship between the air pressure and the wing shape is drawn. That They are designing aircraft wing according to this information.

Lite brothers are not good, and will not get all these achievements. In the 19th century In the first 50 years, the efforts of the driving flying are destined to fail. The gravity of the steam machine is too big to scale, and the power it produces is too big. When the Leite brothers have come, high efficiency internal combustion engines have been invented. But This kind of internal combustion engine is still too heavy, can not provide power on the plane. Since there is no engine that does not have a relatively low ratio between the manufacturer and the power of the power, the Lite brothers have designed with the help of a mechanic. Herd the engine. Although they are relatively expensive for engine design, it is still designed to have an engine with superiority than most manufacturers. This shows their genius. Down Brothers also designed I have a propeller in 1903, and a propeller used in 1903 reached a percent of about 60%.

test flight success

December 7, 1903 in north On the evil mountain near Carlona's cat, the brothers did the first flight. The brothers did two flights. The first time was made by Oville Wright, flight 12 seconds, 120 feet The second time is made by Wilber Lete, flying 5L seconds, 852 feet. This plane cost is less than one thousand dollars, and the brothers are named the flying person I (today people are known as an owl number) The air wing is about 40 feet, which weighs about 750 pounds. The power of the engine is 12 horsepower, with only 170 pounds. The original aircraft is currently furnished in the US National Aerospace Museum in Washington, DC. < / p>

Although five people witnessed the first flight of that day, there is no several newspapers in the following day to report (and the report is basically not very accurate).

There is no report in the newspapers in Lite hometown in Ohio, Ohio. In fact, I have been in the world after five years, the whole world is generally known to have an overloaded flight.

Flight Remove Public Doubt

Lite brothers After the Flying in the Eagle Village, return to Medium City, and have manufactured the second aircraft - Flight II. They flew 105 times in 1904, but they did not attach great importance to people. In 1905, it has been made into a flying person, and a prototype that is modified is very practical. Even if they have been flying near Don, many people still don't believe that some people invented the plane. For example, 1906 "Pioneer Tribune" Paris version was published in the article about Leite Brothers, the topic is "the flying man is also lie!"

but 1908 Rat Brothers ended the public doubts. Willey took a plane to France and conducted a series of effective public demo and formed a company to sell its own invention. At the same time, Oville returned to the United States and made a similar public performance. Unfortunately, the crash of his frame on September 17, 1908, which is the only serious accident that they have encountered by them. A passenger killed, Ovil broke a leg and two ribs, and later recovered health. They have successfully flying but have convince the US government to sign a contract to provide aircraft for the US Department of Defense. The 1909 federal budget includes a one-$ 30,000 for the development of military aviation.

Patent Dispute

For a time, the Lite brothers and some application opponents have made a lot of lawsuits. In 1914, the court gave the patent rights to the two brothers. But at this time, Wilbe Lete has been typed, died in 1912, and 45 years old. Owa Well Wright distributes stocks in Airplane companies in 1915. He died in 1948. The brothers have never been married.

Historical evaluation

Although some people have made a lot of research in the aviation field, paying a price, announcement, but the main practice of inventing the aircraft should be due to Wright Brothers. Therefore, when we determine the number of the two in this book, the main factors are the valuation of the importance of the aircraft. In my opinion, the aircraft seems to be an important invention that is far better than printing machines or ships. Because the two inventions have revolutionized all the ways of human survival. However, the aircraft can be used in peacewise, and it is also undoubtedly a significant invention. During the decades, the plane made us once a huge planet, making it a small global. In addition, the gratifying achievements made in manned flights have laid the foundation for the development of space travel.

Since the whole, people have dreams. But people who don't think of the actual situation has always believed that "aviation carpets" in the "Tianfang Night" are only dreamy, and there will be no existence in the real world. However, the talent of the Lite brothers makes the dream of human world generation, making my mythical stories have become reality.

The two brothers have mechanical talents, they are interested in manned flights. In 1892, they opened a joint venture company for sale, repair and manufacturing. This provides funding for their very interested issues - avionics research. They carefully attacked the works of other avionics, such as Outu Lee Liantar (German aviation engineer and inventor), Oakutaf, Kirut Niu Shi and Samuel P · Lanley. In 1899, they began to study their research on flight problems. After more than four years of efforts, it succeeded in 1903.
