Susan Wright loved to spend the day laughing and playing with her children.
One day in Dayton, everyone was sitting by the river near their house. Wilbur Orville was fishing. But not a single fish was caught in their trap. Suddenly a huge bird jumped into the river. Then the sixth came up with a fish in his mouth.
Wilbur Orville's mother Susan Wright can tell which bird is calling. Will and Arv also learned to recognize birds.
Seeing this stem of the bird, little Wilbur wanted to know, mother, how do birds fly?
The mother said, the birds fluttered their wings and flew away.
Wilbur but stubborn. He said, or Ray! The bird that just grabbed the fish did not flutter its wings.
Mother laughed and said, "As the wind blows from one side to the other, and from the other side to you, it also moves up and down." This is why the bird's wings keep the bird floating in the air.
Susan Wright tried to answer all the questions of her children. He did not want to hinder them.
On their way home from the picnic, they all experienced the first snowstorm of the year. The wind was blowing so hard that it seemed to blow everyone away. The mother said, in such a situation you have to lean forward. Leaning forward, close to the ground, moving under the wind. Then the wind will not be so strong.
In the winter, all the boys played sled on the ice in the mountains. A sled is a kind of wheelless car driven on ice. Most of the boys' fathers used to make sleds. Wilbur and Orville's father worked outside most of the time. So they had no sleds of their own.
After growing up, Wilbur and Orville became depressed and watched the other boys run sleds. Susan Wright noticed that and said, Come on! We make sleds ourselves.
Wilbur and Orville were surprised and asked how it would be. Mom drew a picture of a sled with a piece of paper, a pencil and a scale.
Wilbur and Orville still couldn't believe their eyes. Mom said, the other sled is a foot higher than the ground, right? Ours will be closer to the ground, lower than the others. Then the gust of wind will take less, the sled will move faster.
The Wright brothers then remembered last week's snowstorm. This is how they came to know about air pressure for the first time.
At that time the Wright brothers' sled was the fastest. Suddenly an idea came to Wilbur's head. He saw that the sled could not be taken wherever he wished. If the hull can be made in it like the boat, then it can be driven left and right as you wish.
After telling this to their father, he was surprised to know that the sled has a hull, who said this, where and when. Will said it came to his mind when he saw the picture of the boat in the school book. ,
Not just word of mouth, the Wright brothers have painted designs by then. They brought a large piece of paper and showed it to my father. They have drawn many recent designs, one of which is the best inside.
Reverend Wright took the paper in his hand and looked at the perfect design of the hall. There are six sizes in pencil. The hull will be made of wood. The hull is attached to the back of the sled with two loops.
Know the way to enjoy life!
After that, sitting in the barn, the two brothers together made the hull of the sled with their father's equipment.
Once Wilbur and Orville tried to make their own kite. At first they collected a lot of wood useful for making kites. It is made in the structure of a kite and then shaded with thin paper. |
The next day at six o'clock the Wright brothers appeared on Big Hill. Then quite the wind. The kite also went up quite quickly. As soon as the wind subsided, the dragon fell face down. After rescuing the kite, it was found that the paper was torn and the wood was broken in such a way that there was no way to put it in the corner.
The Wright brothers were very upset. Then he got up to find out where the mistake was. Arv said, it must have been wrong to draw the design. But after checking the design it was seen that there is no defect anywhere.
Then it occurred to them that the wind does not blow all the time. As long as the wind was strong, the kite was flying properly, after the wind subsided, the kite swooped down. That means the kite fell because it didn't get enough air.
The Wright brothers then loosened the kite's belly a little. The wind subsided, but the wind stopped. Then he examined the long tail and the short tail of the kite.
When returning from abroad, Will and Orv's father often returned with some presents. Once he brought a new type of toy. His name is 'Helicopter'. A strange thing made of bamboo and thin paper. The wings have been shown solely to give a sense of proportion. It has to be tied according to the rope.
Will and Arv were surprised to see that as soon as their father wrapped the rubber in the toy and let go of the toy, it rose about fifteen feet and fell to the ground.
The two brothers shouted for joy. The two of them wrapped the rubber and checked the toy a few times. As soon as it is released, it flies away like a bird.
Will and Arv wondered, why did it go up? They noticed that the toy was moving back and forth as it climbed up.
Will looked at it and said, get up
At times it digs holes in the air. Orv said, or the wind takes its place, the way the boat pushes the water away.
At that time, they did not know how day by day the two of them are moving towards a world famous discovery!
History of the invention of the airplane
1897 Orville contracted a severe typhoid fever. Wilbur bought some new books to make his brother feel better. One of his books was written by Auto Lilienthal. The name of the book is Experiment in Souring.
After reading the book, the Wright brothers learned that Otto Lilienthal had created a kite that could fly him into the clear sky. His kite was made like a bird's wing.
Auto Lilienthal
The Wright brothers learned that Auto Lilienthal began to fly from the top of the hill. From there the wind blew him over the valley. He flew for about a minute until the wind was just right.
Arv said on hearing this, not relying on the wind, he could not fly as long as he could not fly on his own.
However, at the end of the book it was written that those who want to get more books on this subject should write to Professor Samuel Langley of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
After writing the letter, a pile of really small books came and appeared in their name. There is a lot written about flying in the sky. They discovered that in addition to Otto Lilienthal, a gentleman named Langley, Octave Cheniot, Hiram Maxim of the Smithsonian Institution was trying to fly in the sky.
While reading these research books, they realized that they need basic knowledge of physics and engineering. After that, the study went on.
Work began on a model of the aircraft
Then for the first time they decided to make a flying machine. That's why you have to make a glider first. Then you have to know everything that Auto Lilienthal has done. Then you have to learn about the engine. Eventually the engine and glider have to be one.
The next day they set to work designing their gliders. Arv thought that the test work could not be done here. Lake will laugh. Moreover, there are trees and hills all around. If you fly, you may have to go to the top of the tree with a glider. So it is necessary to find a place where there are no plants and air can be found at a constant speed. It also needs hills and soft soil.
They wrote a letter to the Smithsonian Institution to find out where such a place was. Professor Langley sent the letter to the US Meteorological Office. They sent Arv names of some places. Among them, the Kitty Hawk place in North Carolina was their choice.
The Wright brothers' glider was like a huge box kite. A fan above him, one below. If one sits on the glider, two more lakes will be needed to pull the glider a little farther.
The winner of the glider is the lottery. Arv won. First it was his turn to climb the glider. | Auto Lilienthal and others who tried to fly in the glider all sat on the lower wing of the glider.
Wilbur remembered his mother's teaching about the pressure of the wind. Ara remembered how fast their sleds moved as they sat down. Wilbur therefore told Arv to lie down on the fan, it would take less air pressure. | Arv did so. The glider is placed on a sand TB. Wilbur stood on one side of the glider, and Kitty Hawk's postmaster on the other. Tate.
They stood with two strong ropes on either side. Mr. Wilbur explained to Tate that if the rope was pulled, the glider would move upwards at the same time as the dragon. Ready? Will and Mr. first glider rope. Tate ran but no fruit
No.
They started running faster. Suddenly, Arv's shout was heard, 'I'm flying, I'm flying!'
It was seen that the glider had risen five feet from the ground. Then half a foot. As soon as the rope was released, the glider went up about a hundred feet. At that moment, the glider overturned in a gust of wind. After a while it came to the ground. Arv was not in pain but the glider was badly damaged. But the two brothers have no grief for him. |
They then built a radar in three days to balance the glider. It was placed in front of the glider. If it is behind, it cannot be turned upside down at the will of the driver.
Then they decided to build a powerful engine. It's easy, but it's not easy to make a light engine. Orv wondered if it was possible to make an engine out of aluminum.
It really worked. Propeller or fan is made of wood. They did not have the wheels of that first plane. They brought the machine to get two pieces of wood on the sand. From here the machine will fly in the sky.
December 16, 1903. The first thing to do is to win the lottery with one rupee. Orville won again.
People flew in the sky for the first time
The propeller turns. The glider moved a little at first, moved forward a little on the wood, then first the front side rose, then the rest.
The glider flew ten feet into the air. Going about a hundred feet, the glider slowly landed on the sand.
The Wright brothers were able to make their dreams come true! They were able to fly in the sky.
