Who invented Aeroplane
Ever since the man has been born, he has dreamed of flying in the air. Perhaps seeing the birds fly freely in the sky, only aroused their desire to fly. This desire later led to the invention of the aircraft.
This discovery has reduced our travel time so much that we complete a journey of several hundred kilometers in minutes.
This year (2018) 115 years since the invention of the airplane has been completed but do you know that invented Aeroplane was and when? So let's know the answer - the world's first airplane was built on 17 December 1903 by two American brothers "Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright" (also known as the Wright Badgers or Wright brothers).
Story of the aircraft and its creator
Wilbur and Orville Wright's father's name was Milton. Milton was a pastor. At the age of 41, he married Susan Catherine and after that he roamed all over Indiana (a state of the United States) and started preaching everywhere.
They had five children and all five were born in different places. Of these, Wilbur was born in 1867 and Orville in 1871. Milton Wright was later appointed bishop of a church.
It is about 1878. At that time Wilbur was 11 years old and Orville was 7 years old. Then one night his father brought a flying toy, which could fly straight up to the ceiling height. It was made from paper, bamboo and cancer.
There was a rubber band in it, which fired a small fan. It flew straight up in the air like a helicopter and then came down. It was built by a Frenchman.
Seeing this toy, as if the imagination of the children got wings. He got the idea in his mind that if such a small object can fly to the roof, then a big thing can surely go to the clouds. He named this toy a bat. The two brothers started making one such bat.
Wilbur did the whole work because Orville was so young that he could only watch his brother eagerly while making this toy. This toy made by both brothers was not much successful because the bigger the bats they made, the less it would fly.
Three years later, when the whole family reached Richmond, the two brothers became fond of making kites. The kites made by Orville became famous as flying machines and his name became famous all over Richmond.
When Orville was twelve years old, he became fond of digging on wood. He bought an old-fashioned raid and started printing newspapers on it. At the age of 17, Orville set up a large raid and the two brothers started printing newspapers on him. He also took out a magazine from this raid which was quite successful.
His mother died in July, 1879, leaving him deeply hurt. Wilver was playing hockey once, when he suffered a hockey injury on his face, which caused two of his teeth to fall out. After this, his newspaper could not stand in front of big newspapers.
Failing this, he started selling and making bicycles. When they were engaged in selling bicycles in Detan, Otto and Gustav Lilianthal were engaged in the dangerous but interesting experiment of flying like birds in Germany at the same time. Right brothers had read all the details about these two.
Otto Lilienthal died during gliding in 1896, causing great sadness to both these brothers. But Lilianthal's death was not a simple death for him but a sacrifice. The accident also created a keen interest in flying the Wright brothers and started work on the construction of flying vehicles.
Right brothers realized their dream
Wright Brothers started making gliders from 1896 itself. The initial specimen of the Wright brothers' glider was like a kite that could be tied into a rope to be controlled in the air. He first discovered a place where steady air flow.
One brother would hold the rope and the other would ride on the glider and try to balance it. In these early trials, the Wright brothers realized that the glider could not balance just by moving their body backward or right-left.
Continuing practice saw the Wright brothers discover a way to balance the glider with a mechanical method in 1899.
They put the rudder in their gliders with the help of which the glider could be moved up and down as they wished. Then he also placed an upright hull in his glider, so that the glider could also be rotated to the right. The Wright brothers are the first to be credited with making a controlled glider.
The Wright brothers chose a place called Kittyhawk in North Carolina. This place was suitable for flying gliders as there was steady air moving here. Here they practiced flying gliders.
If one specimen failed, it would be rectified and prepared and the summer would return to its place of residence. After seven years of continuous hard work, his flying machine was able to be ready and could bear the burden of a man.
However, over such a long period, these people had put the shop's pie-pie for experiments. These idiots did not have a single penny till their marriage. May his sister, who helped his brothers with thousands of rupees.
Eventually hard work and dedication resulted in a sample that was able to fly successfully in the summer of 1903. With great enthusiasm, the Wright brothers reached Kittyhawk.
The Wright brothers had experienced in their experiments that before flying, the glider must first run some distance to land so that the buoyancy force of the air could reach the wings and the glider could rise up into the air. He also arranged for this.
The Wright brothers also fitted a small engine in their glider. Since light engines were not built in those days, the Wright brothers themselves designed a 25 horsepower petrol engine and fitted it into the glider. There was also a seat for the pilot to sit next to the engine. Now his engine was ready to take off.
On December 14, 1903, he planned to fly his glider into Kittyhawk's ground. Some spectators also came from nearby villages. Wilbur Wright turned on the engine and rode the vehicle. After running first on the running tracks, the vehicle got up in the air but immediately came down.
Wilbur Wright was not hurt, but some parts of the vehicle were broken, however. The audience ridiculed the Wright brothers and their airplanes, but they were not disappointed and invited them to return to the air flight performance again three days later.
First historical flight
Some dates have special significance in history. December 17, 1903 is also a special date in the history of flying. Yes, it was a historic day when the Wright brothers made a successful flight in air sitting in an airplane.
He was disappointed by the unexpected failure on 14 December but his courage did not diminish. With double enthusiasm they repaired the wreckage in the vehicle. The system of running the vehicle before taking flight was made as follows. He tied strong wires in a cart.
This car was parked on a long rail track. His glider was placed on the same vehicle. A heavy load hung at the other end of the wire. This wire passed through the Garadi (Puli) on a high tower. After all the preparations were done, this heavy load was dropped, due to the pull the train ran fast on the track.
The glider's engine was already powered on. The glider went up in the air as the car ran. After going to a height of ten feet, the vehicle came down, then got up again and flew off and landed 120 feet away. Although this flight was only 12 seconds, it was the first real air flight.
In this first flight, Orville Wright was aboard the vehicle. Sadly, this time only 4-5 spectators came to see the flight. Yet the historical charisma took place that day. The Wright brothers made many successful flights that day.
In the second flight Wilbur succeeded in flying up to 200 feet. Orville flew for the third time and flew its airplane for 15 seconds. The fourth flight was even more successful. Wilbur flew 852 feet high in an airplane and flew for 59 seconds.
On that day, the news of the successful flight of the Wright brothers in the uninhabited land of Kittyhawk spread far and wide. He entrusted the promotion of his airplane to a commercial firm. On the firm's opinion, in 1908 the Wright brothers made a public display of their aircraft in France.
Here he showed his aircraft flying for an hour. A single flight of his airplane covered a distance of about 78 miles. What was it then, the names of the Wright brothers and their airplanes were rocked all over the world.
Even today, the original vehicle that was used by the two brothers in Kittyhawk for the world's first flight is hung in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
Wilbur Wright died 9 years after the first air flight in December 1903, and Orville Wright lived a life of 77 years. Of course, the credit of being the father of the aircraft is due to the Wright brothers, whose dedication and loyalty made the air gates open and open.
