Vintage Photo

First Flight


This phot means words to me because I am looking forward to going to college for engineering. This was one of the biggest if not the biggest engineering ffeats of its time period. They worked on this for so long, and when they finally got it flying, everybody knew. Engineering has always interested me in the past. I have alwyays loved to work on things, take apart engines, make a bird house, as long as I was working I would be having a blast forhours and hours. I also biked  a lot. This may not have any connection to the Wright brothers, but I always wondered why bikes can balance with us on them. As a kid I spent countless hours trying to steady my bike, but now I can ride with no hands. So why can it balance? Why could their plane fly without a motor or without some kind of power keeping it going? All it was was a couple sheets of strong fabric, some metal, and a platform for them to sit/lay on. These are answers i will eventually find out myself hopefully.
