Hi friends, now it is an interesting topic about the invention of the first plane by the wright brothers. Traveling in planes, nowadays had became very casual, But for inventing this plane, the wright brothers spent their whole life, with great sincerity and dedication. We can now see a short description about this invention. In 1899, after Wilbur Wright had written a letter of request to the Smithsonian Institution for information about flight experiments, the Wright Brothers designed their first aircraft: a small, biplane glider flown as a kite to test their solution for controlling the craft by wing warping. Wing warping is a method of arching the wingtips slightly to control the aircraft's rolling motion and balance.
The Wrights spent a great deal of time observing birds in flight. They noticed that birds soared into the wind and that the air flowing over the curved surface of their wings created lift. Birds change the shape of their wings to turn and maneuver. They believed that they could use this technique to obtain roll control by warping, or changing the shape, of a portion of the wing.
After the next three years, Wilbur and his brother Orville had designed a series of gliders which which has been flown in both unmanned (as kites) and piloted flights.
