On December 17, 1903, with Orville at the controls, Orville and Wilbur Wright witnessed their own creation, a 605-pound flying machine made of wood, fabric and bicycle spoke wire, lift into the air under its own power in controlled flight for the first time in the history of the world! Imagine it! Think about the last time you flew across the country on an airplane, relaxing in your seat eating a snack without a care in the world while travelling 300 miles per hour at 28,000 feet? That first 12 second flight covered only 120 feet... and gave birth to the whole of aviation! Get a sense of the work and painstaking research the Wrights put into creating the Wright Flyer and how you as an actual pilot would control it - from preflight inspection to takeoff, cruise and landing. Learn basic principles of aviation that apply to even today's fastest military jets by seeing where it all started. Fly Wright is a quick, fun read. You will have a great time and learn a few interesting things along the way!
