16、t 2 Passage.The WrightsStoryOn the morning of December 17, 1903, between 10:30 a.m. and noon, fourflights were made, two by Orville Wright and two by Wilbur Wright.Under the direction of the operator it climbed upward on an inclined coursetill a height of 8 or 10 feet from the ground was reac

17、hed.Into the teeth of a December gale the Flyer made its way forward with aspeed of 10 miles an hour over the ground and 30 to 35 miles an hour throughthe air.The height chosen was sufficient for maneuvering in so gusty a wind and withno previous acquaintance with the conduct of the machine and its

18、controllingmechanisms.5 .In attempting to bring the machine down to the desired height, the operatorturned the rudder too far, and the machine turned downward more quickly thanhad been expected.On the morning of December 17, 1903, between 10:30 a.m. and noon, fourflights were made, two by Orville Wr

19、ight and two by Wilbur Wright. The startswere all made from a point on the level sand about 200 feet west of our camp,which is located a quarter of a mile north of the Kill Devil sand hill, in DareCounty, North Carolina.The wind at the time of the flights had a velocity* of 27 miles an hour at 10a.m

20、., and 24 miles an hour at noon, as recorded by the anemometer* at the KittyHawk Weather Bureau Station.The flights were directly against the wind. Each time the machine started from the level ground by its own power alone with no assistance from gravity or any other source whatever.After a run of a

21、bout 40 feet along a monorail* track, which held the machine 8 inches (20 centimeters) from the ground, it rose from the track and under the direction of the operator climbed upward on an inclined course till a height of 8 or 10 feet from the ground was reached, after which the course was kept as ne

22、ar horizontal as the wind gusts and the limited skill of the operator would permit.Into the teeth of a December gale the Flyer made its way forward with a speed of 10 miles an hour over the ground and 30 to 35 miles an hour through the air.It had previously been decided that for reasons of personal

23、safety these first trials should be made as close to the ground as possible. The height chosen was sufficient for maneuvering* in so gusty a wind and with no previous acquaintancewith the conduct of the machine and its controlling mechanisms.Consequently the first flight was short.The succeeding fli

24、ghts rapidly increased in length and at the fourth trial a flight of 59 seconds was made, in which time the machine flew a little more than half a mile through the air and a distance of 852 feet over the ground.The landing was due to a slight error of judgment on the part of the aviator.After passin

25、g over a little hummock* of sand, in attempting to bring the machine down to the desired height, the operator turned the rudder* too far, and the machine turned downward more quickly than had been expected.The reverse movement of the rudder was a fraction of a second too late to prevent the machine

26、from touching the ground and thus ending the flight.As winter was already well set in, we should have postponed the trials to a more favorable season, but we were determined to know whether the machine possessedsufficient power to fly, sufficient strength to withstand the shocksof landings and suffi

At Kitty

29、Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903,Orville Wright made the first successfulflight of a piloted, heavier-than-air, self-propelled craft, called the Flyer. The third Flyer, which the Wrights constructed in 1905, was the worlds first fully practical airplane. It could bank,turn, circle, make fi
