On a cold December day in 1903, after weeks of
testing on the windy dunes at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the Wright Flyer
sputtered to life. At 10:35 A.M., the Flyer, propellers whirring, began to slide
down its narrow track. Then it lifted from the track and rose above the sands
of Kitty Hawk. The ight lasted only 12 seconds and covered a mere 120
feet. But there was no doubt—on
that windy December 17, the Wright
brothers had realized a human dream.
They had own!
Just 30 years later, the Douglas DC–3
was making regular airline service
comfortable and pro table. Three and
a half decades after that, on February
9, 1969, the rst Boeing 747 (left,
bottom) thundered into the skies over
Everett, Washington.
Now, it’s your turn to y
into history.
The Wright Flyer’s rst successful
ight (above, top) was shorter
than the economy-class
section of a Boeing 747.
Almost four years of exhausting work and meticulous
experimentation went into making the Wright Flyer’s rst
12-second powered ight a success.
