Wilbur & Orville Wright & their plane, 1903 Orville & Wilbur Wright opened a bicycle shop in Dayton, OH, in 1892. Two years earlier, the older Wilbur joined Orville in publishing a local newspaper, The West Side News. After a few years of making & repairing bicycles, they became interested in glider planes. They had read Otto Lilienthal’s books on soaring & Octave Chanute’s book on flying machines. The Wrights chose Kitty Hawk, NC, for their experiments between 1900-1903, during which they made more than 1,000 glider test flights. They developed twisting of the wings, forerunner to the aileron, to guide the device in flight. The brothers then built a box-kite type of glider to carry one person in a powered flight, using a screw-like propeller driven by a four-cylinder motor. On December 17, 1903, Orville flew the glider for 120 feet in 12 seconds. They patented the machine in 1906, & in 1908 had a U.S. War Department contracted to build a machine that went 125 miles at a speed of 40 miles per hour. They formed the American Wright Company to build planes & train pilots. Wilbur died in 1912, & Orville continued with the company for two years.
