Bottom Brothers Glider Gliding Orville Wilbur Wright
EDITORS COMMENTS
October 10, 1902: A Bottom's-Up View of Wilbur Wright in Gliding Motion This photograph offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in aviation history. Taken on October 10, 1902, it captures Wilbur Wright (1867-1912), one of the Wright Brothers, in the act of gliding his innovative flying machine to the right. The image is particularly intriguing as it presents a bottom view of the glider, providing a rare glimpse into the intricate design and engineering that went into the Wrights' groundbreaking invention. Orville Wright (1871-1948), Wilbur's younger brother and flying partner, is not visible in this photograph. However, their collaboration and relentless pursuit of flight led them to achieve the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft on December 17, 1903. The Wright Brothers' glider, which underwent numerous modifications and improvements throughout their experiments, was a far cry from the sleek, streamlined aircraft we know today. The image reveals the wooden structure, wing design, and the intricate arrangement of the wings' control surfaces. The large rear rudder, which Wilbur is manipulating in this photograph, played a crucial role in steering the glider during flight. This photograph is an essential reminder of the Wright Brothers' pioneering spirit and the ingenuity that propelled them into the annals of aviation history. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the early days of flight and the determination of two brothers who dared to defy gravity.
