Brothers Devil Hawk Kill Kitty Orville Wilbur Wright
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment at the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where the Wright Brothers, Orville (left) and Wilbur (right), made their first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft on December 17, 1903. The location, now known as the Wright Brothers National Memorial, is situated between Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hill. The brothers' groundbreaking achievement took place on this sandy hillside, where they had spent months testing and refining their flying machine. The wind conditions on this day were ideal, with a gentle breeze blowing from the south-southeast at about 12-14 miles per hour. Orville piloted the aircraft, while Wilbur ran alongside to help guide him. The Wright Flyer, as their aircraft was named, soared into the air for 12 seconds, covering a distance of 120 feet before making a successful landing. This monumental event marked the beginning of the aviation era and forever changed the course of human history. This photograph, taken in the year 1900, is a testament to the determination, innovation, and perseverance of the Wright Brothers. It serves as a reminder of their incredible accomplishment and the profound impact it had on the world. The image also highlights the stunning natural beauty of the Outer Banks, with the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean in the background. The Wright Brothers' story is one of inspiration and triumph, and this photograph is a visual representation of their unforgettable journey towards achieving the impossible.
