Wright Brothers First Flight, 1903

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- The Wright brothers, Orville (August 19, 1871 - January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867 - May 30, 1912), were two American brothers, inventors, and aviation pioneers who are credited with inventing and building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on December 17, 1903. From 1905 to 1907, the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible.
The brothers' fundamental breakthrough was their invention of three-axis control, which enabled the pilot to steer the aircraft effectively and to maintain its equilibrium.This method became and remains standard on fixed-wing aircraft of all kinds. From the beginning of their aeronautical work, the Wright brothers focused on developing a reliable method of pilot control as the key to solving "the flying problem". This approach differed significantly from other experimenters of the time who put more emphasis on developing powerful engines. Using a small homebuilt wind tunnel, the Wrights also collected more accurate data than any before, enabling them to design and build wings and propellers that were more efficient than any before. Their first U.S. patent, 821,393, did not claim invention of a flying machine, but rather, the invention of a system of aerodynamic control that manipulated a flying machine's surfaces.
They gained the mechanical skills essential for their success by working for years in their shop with printing presses, bicycles, motors, and other machinery. Their work with bicycles in particular influenced their belief that an unstable vehicle like a flying machine could be controlled and balanced with practice. From 1900 until their first powered flights in late 1903, they conducted extensive glider tests that also developed their skills as pilots. Their bicycle shop employee Charlie Taylor became an important part of the team, building their first airplane engine in close collaboration with the brothers.
The Wright brothers' status as inventors of the airplane has been subject to counter-claims by various parties. Much controversy persists over the many competing claims of early aviators.

This is a much later 1909 flight.
and by the way, the first flight was made by Santos Dumond in 1906. Wright brothers allegedly flight before him but there's no record of that. Santos Dumond did it in front of Eiffel Tower with half of Paris watching. And the airplane took off by itself, not that catapulted bullsh...

Thane Mac you should look it up, wright brothers only released the photos of rhe 1903 flight in 1907 or 1908, not sure what year but one of those two, in 1903 they also invited a newspaper man to witness one of their flights and he reported that the try was unsuccesfull. Whitehead never released a photo but a reporter of a newspaper reported he saw whitehead flying and wrote about it, as well as numerous others stated they saw him flying, I mean we never will know for sure but the evidence is there, as well as the evidence the wright brothers gave can be doubted about the time of their flight
paulg I think the credit should go to the man or men who actually did it and not those who were most succesfull in telling everyone
@Thane Mac kkKKKKKKKKKKK OS CARA ACHA Q ANGRY BIRDS É AVIÃO
Orville Wright on WW2 bombers: "We dared to hope we had invented something that would bring lasting peace to the earth. But we were wrong ... No, I don't have any regrets about my part in the invention of the airplane, though no one could deplore more than I do the destruction it has caused. I feel about the airplane much the same as I do in regard to fire. That is, I regret all the terrible damage caused by fire, but I think it is good for the human race that someone discovered how to start fires and that we have learned how to put fire to thousands of important uses.'
What a brilliant quote and analogy
Basically the exact same takeaway from the brilliant Oppenheimer movie
By his turn, Santos Dumont suffer with gilt, became depressed and comited suicide. (He Saw the airplane used in the Constitucional Revolution in Brazil and an hidroplane crash in front of his eyes in an great reception in his honor in Rio de Janeiro).
The Wright brothers sold their first airplane to the United States Army.
Thank you for sharing that! It's interesting how those things that are filled with the most potential for good often can cause an equal amount of evil. The bigger the flamethrower, the bigger the fire.
"When my brother and I built and flew the first man-carrying flying machine, we thought that we were introducing into the world an invention which would make further wars practically impossible." Orville Wright.
@Jon Doe He meant war would be so devastating by air that countries would reframe from it. He has a point because he set the path toward our modern nuclear deterent system by air.
The idea was, scouting planes would make opposing armies' positions obvious.
@@boggy7665 this reminds me of "clash of the ironclads." They decked it out until they gave up, but then they came up with better methods of destruction. With planes they only came up with better methods of destruction and then Einstein came around and really raised the bar with splitting the atom.
He is right beside the fact, that he and his brother weren't the first...
Oh how wrong he was
Can you imagine the people back then hearing about or seeing an actual human flying? Must have been incomprehensible.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks of stuff like this haha, I couldn’t even fathom the sheer amazement on those peoples faces
CATAPULT IS NOT ENGINE, SANTOS DUMONT FOREVER
People at that time be like: " Oh my god, is that an angel? "
War Kite: Guess I didn't exist
@@charlesleverant7368 they had manned kites long before this
People born about 1892 like my grandma, commonly saw folks get around with horse and buggy in their childhood. But then this happened when she was 11, and she also lived to see the first manned moon landing. When we were watching the moon landing live on TV, in 1969, she was passing through the room, and stopped and said, "Now they're on the MOON?!" and we said yes and she just shook her head.
Between 1873 and 1969: Maxwell's treatise on electromagnetic energy leading to radio, radar, and microwaves; the light bulb, telephone, phonograph, x-rays, automobiles, powered flight, television, many vacuum tube advancements in electronics, talking motion pictures, nuclear chain reactions, supersonic flight, transistor, jet flight, computers.
The moon landing was believable at the time but that's no longer the case...
Your grandma was born in 1892?
1892????????????
Why so shocked? There are people alive today whose grandparents were born in the 1700s.@@palomaelegante
Can you imagine how insane it must have felt to be the first humans ever to fly like that?
@@SilenceDogwood. I’d be screaming the word yes at the top of my lungs
I wouldn’t stop smiling for a week
Ngl, they used a catapult like build to fly, so in my opnion it was not a plane
@@tutorial_builder So you're just going to ignore the propellers then huh?
@@Jofurd they used a catapult to have 0ower to fly. The propellors had to get more power with the catapult, it didn't take off on its own
To all the Brazilians who think Santos Dumont invented the airplane
Another common objection of the Santos Dumont camp is that the Wright brothers used a catapult to launch their airplane. They ignore the fact that the Wright brothers made over 40 flights of varying lengths before they built a catapult, including the four flights on December 17, 1903. They also ignore the records of the flights the Wrights made in 1904 and 1905, which show that the catapult wasn't always used. If the Wrights felt they had sufficient headwinds, they took off without it.
The Wrights continued to use the catapult and launching rail long after they needed to because they felt it offered an advantage over wheels. Aircraft with wheels needed a long take-off run; with a rail the Wrights could be off the ground in as little as 60 feet. Additionally, the rail kept the airplane headed in the proper direction until the air was flowing over the control surfaces fast enough to give the pilot adequate control. Ground loops and other accidents were all too common in wheeled aircraft that had to traverse some distance before the controls became effective.
In 1905, after the Wrights felt they had worked the bugs out of their invention and had created a practical airplane, they invited the public back again. They sent out about 30 invitations to people whom they thought would make credible witnesses. Several hundred showed up at Huffman Prairie to watch them fly on October 4 and 5 , 1905. On October 5, Wilbur was able to keep the Wright Flyer 3 in the air for 39 minutes, flying 30 complete circuits of the field and covering over 24 miles -- in public.
Wilbur Wright experienced this anti-catapult chauvinism in France in 1908 when he set an altitude record and the Federation Aeronautique Internationale denied him the record because he made an "assisted" take-off. To prove to the French that whatever assistance the catapult had provided was beside the point, Wilbur took off unassisted on skids alone and set the record anew.
Two years later, the Wrights gave in to market pressures and began to install wheeled undercarriages on their airplanes. But they still used the same engine they had used when they first flew in France. Power wasn't an issue; they could have added wheels earlier. They simply believed that the catapult and rail system was better.
Brazilians usually bring up the Wright catapult to imply that the Wright airplanes were somehow less technologically advanced than Santos Dumont's. So it's worth noting that on December 31, 1908, Wilbur Wright made a record-breaking flight where he remained aloft for 2 hours, 18 minutes, and 33 seconds, winning the coveted Coupe de Michelin. During his entire flying career, Santos Dumont never remained airborne in one of his airplanes for more then 15 minutes.

For this heresy, you shall come to Brazil.
@@alanjassybayev2428 I already live in Brazil lol
So, you are just fooled yourself there hahah: "If the Wrights felt they had sufficient headwinds, they took off without it."
So, they needed either a catapult or wind assist? True airplane, hum hahahaha
You have a point. The problem is the lack of recognition of Santos Dumont. First he Win a prize and later, he was passed over for some who simply says that fly First, secretly or discreetly, even If they could made an public demonstation i their country. He become depressed for nothig so.
Where´s the scientifc proofs about this flies between 1903-1905???? Only rumours don't proof nothing. First fly is a scientific challlennge on that years and theBrother and americans say it whitout any proof.
It’s stuff like this that makes you wish you could bring back people from the past to see how the world has changed. I would love to see their reactions to the A380, 747, C-5 Galaxy, the space shuttle, b2 stealth bombers, etc.
and the Concorde, Tu-144 and SR-71!!!
Orville weight lived long enough to see the wwii planes, insane difference.
They would weep at what the US government has done to this country.
@@neunundfuenfzig and An-225 biggest aircraft ever built but sadly it got destroyed during Russian invasion of Ukraine :(
They would die again after seeing what the world has become :')
This was a flight at Le Mans, France, in 1908. It was filmed in France when the Wrights were demonstrating their "Flyer" to the French. The French at first showed more interest in the Wrights accomplishments than the American Military.
Unlike the US, the French had an actual military budget.
The US military were still stinging from the abysmal failure of Samuel Langley's Aerodrome. Langley at the turn of the century was the head of the Smithsonian, had built a 6-foot wingspan prototype that first flew in 1886, and was given $20,000 (about a million in today's dollars) by the military to build one that could carry a man. 9 days before the Wright's historic flight, the Aerodrome was launched from a boat and promptly fell into the Potomac river. It would be several years before the US Govt would show any interest at all in the Wright Brother's flying machines. That's why the Wrights went to Europe.
NY times: Man won't fly for another million years
These guys 9 days later: Hold my beer
And it is amazing to know that a part of their airplane is in the mars Ingenuity helicopter! Their legacy continues beyond our own planet! It is also fascinating that their design and principles are still use in todays!
@@bulbulitobayagbagan9633 made me wonder if the weight of that fabric affected the design in any way hahaha
I think that should not affect it's performance. :) It's very tiny and insignificant amount.
More like, "Hold my coffee." They were teetotalers.
@@bulbulitobayagbagan9633 I don't even know why you're messing around here. The US state of Connecticut introduced a memorial day for Gustav Weißkopf in June 2013 and gave him priority for the first powered flight 1901 by law. End of story ...
We weren't lucky enough to evolve with wings, and yet we learnt to fly anyways.. this video puts into perspective just how incredible humankind is. We really can do anything we put our minds to.
The builders of the Tower expressed the same sentiments, sadly.
Holy... And today, round about 120 years later, we fly in our A350s or 787s around the globe like we never did different.
That's not the astonishing part, the absolutely ridiculous part is that in the early 40's they already had fighter planes with reliable jet engines
What's crazy is that the plane was invented about as far away from our time as the revolutionary war happened from them
Thanks to SANTOS DUMONT father of aviation
It is impressive how things went from this to mass aerial combat in World War 1 in such little time
Technology advances is immediately used by three main driving forces:
1) How it can be weaponized
2) How it can be used in pornography
3) How it can be used to generate profit
Mass aerial bombing was not a thing during WW1. Planes weren't large enough to hold bombs yet. They were mainly used at the time for reconnaissance purposes.
@@youtubecensorpolice9112 Dog fights were the mail attack vector of the plane back then.
@@youtubecensorpolice9112 well they did have bomber planes in ww1 to bomb trenches and small towns in the area

Underrated comment
Also nice reference
underrated
I presume that this is based on the failure of an exact replica to fly at the 2003 Centennial.
The 1903 Wright Flyer was an unlikely flyer. It required near perfect flight conditions
such as high density air and a 27 mph headwind. The replica has flown with a 15 mph headwind but only about 100 ft. The 1903 Flyer is unstable. You need about 100 hours of practice and some luck to be able to control it. John Denver with zero hours of practice
was able to take off and crash a few seconds later. He flew about 120 ft.
No, this is not fly now
@@stevebett4947 You are claiming dependence on the wind. In these conditions, the Wrights only had one glider.
This is the cutest little video. Spinning the thing up by hand. In some field. Putting the wheels back on by hand. The bowling hats. The little dog running along. So cute.
I’m here because my teacher sent me this link to watch and summarize what was going on and I’m here Jamming to the song instead of summarizing
Nice
dude same
to summarise: this is not Wright's first powered flight. their first flight was only 120 feet
Nem no centenário do suposto vôo do irmãos "bicicleteiros" esse protótipo de avião voou. Foi uma vergonha nacional. Infelizmente esse tipo de notícia não chega fácil até nós.

That's a lie, the wright brothers were the first. Stop spreading lies.
0:43 - This was filmed in France, where Wilbur made their first fully publicized demonstration flight in 1908. Wilbur on the left, Louis Bleriot on the right. Bleriot said of witnessing that flight: "We're beaten. But wait a little while. In a short time, Wright will be equaled, perhaps surpassed, for aviation will make more progress than people imagine." The following spring, Bleriot would adapt wing warping to his plane, and become the first to cross the English Channel, went on to sell many copies of his Bleriot XI.
Yes, Bleriot did indeed infringe on the Wrights patent. He was a thief.
@@powderslinger5968 @Boggy Bleriot was actually very gracious to the Wrights after watching Wilbur's demonstrations at LeMans. Orville spent much of the ensuing decade+ in patent battles with numerous people who adapted their technology.
@@powderslinger5968 Wright's stole almost everything themselves from others who did not bother with patents. But hey don't dare attack American icons.
@Will Swift I assume you are referring to the patent battles and if it took Orville's time? They did have lawyers involved, however Orville's numerous trips to Washington DC to participate are well-documented. It certainly was not a case of Orville sitting on the couch eating bon-bons while some Clarence Darrow represented him in absentia.
Bleriot and Dumont were using paddle propellers...looked like kayak paddles or prairie windmill blades.
Their mechanics studied the wright propellers and wing shapes while repairing the damage the customs officers did in unloading from the ship.
Some of the French airfoils were not sufficiently arced and the 1890s balloon drive paddle propellers (with no twist) did not produce straight vector thrust.
Once Wilber left, these innovations were retrofitted to their planes and Ta Da...success.
The worthless propellers they had been struggling against caused development of 50hp to 70hp light motors, vs the Wright 12 and 20hp ultralight motors.
Put that together and the Europeans took over by 1911. 1914 set everything into high gear with floods of military orders.
This definitely had to be one of the most mind-blowing things to see at the time. Similar to how mind-blowing it must've been to see the first train
i usually hate music tracks with historical footage, but goddamn that is a funky groove
No helmet no seatbelt these men were the original daredevils.
This footage is split from at least two different flights in 1909. There is footage of Orville and Wilbur. However, the actual take-off is of Wilbur in France as he tried to sell the technology to the French after the U.S. had declined interest. This interest obviously changed once the Wright's proved their Flyer reputable.
I wonder how many people told these men "NoO It CAnt bE Done It's Impossible YoUR CRaZyyy!!" and now a century+ later I can fly from L.A. to Amsterdam on a big beautiful 777 effortlessly.
That sound plane engine makes before a takeoff. A divine moment

So, you are saying that the F-18 Hornet is not an aircraft? Because it uses a catapult. The Wrights made 4 flights that 1st day (that's FOUR; can you count that high?). The last flight of the day stayed in the air for a full minute. I suppose you think that it was just "thrown" that long?
Also, the Wrights made flights in 1904, 2 years before Dumont, in their 2nd model, without using a catapult. But you people aren't educated enough on this matter to even know that.
@@mikearmstrong8483 just show a proof.
@@filipedeina1178
The proof has already been shown. Time and again. Documents, photos dated at the time they were taken, witnessed records.
Every actual aviation historian, that had researched actual archives, acknowledges that the Wrights flew in 1903. Only the population of a single country, who have been fed lies since birth, believe otherwise.
I don't have to "show proof" of anything to you, because the proof has already been put in front of your face and you lack the capacity to understand it.
This is not flying this is falling in style
By the way, nice glider, catapult is not a motor. SANTOS DUMONT THE FIRST
Wasn't a catapult first flight just easier to take off
they implemented the first working airplane and catapult (still used on aircraft carriers).

EDIT: Maybe Congress should be petitioned to have all aircraft carriers renamed to non-aircraft carriers…
On August 14, 1901, Gustave Whitehead, a German-born immigrant living in Bridgeport, Connecticut, was more than likely the first to achieve manned, self-propelled, sustained flight, somewhat under control, but did not have 3-axis control. He steered the machine by shifting his body weight from side to side. Some time after this flight the Wright Brothers visited Whitehead under the guise of financing his efforts (reported by a man who worked for Whitehead at that time).
My theory is that during this visit, Whitehead shared some ideas which led the Wrights to 3-axis control which they tested and built into their 1902 glider. Add the fact that there were no photos of Whitehead's #21 machine in flight only photos of it on the ground. And zero original source documentation such as journals, letters, telegrams, etc.
In 1903, the Wrights added an engine and propellers to what was essentially the 1902 glider (they never considered propulsion a big challenge), and on December 17, 1903 invited a few spectators and had the high-end camera at the ready.
Kids, if you want to own the patents and make it into the Smithsonian, document your work... Thoroughly.
There's no good evidence that the Wrights ever visited Whitehead, and there's no evident influence of Whitehead's ideas on the designs of the Wrights. The Wrights were very candid, albeit secretive at times, while Whitehead was a fabulist. The claim of the Wrights' visit just doesn't hold water.
Fun Fact: One of the Wright Brothers, Orville, died in 1948, just 13 years before Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space
Today--12/17/2023--marks the 120th anniversary of this pioneering feat of flight for mankind. What a magnificent day this was for the infancy of machine propelled airplane. Just 65 1/2 years later 2 men walked on the moon. Today space ships have travelled to Mars and beyond.
117 years of powered controlled flight!
Unless you fly Malaysian....
On a family trip in the summer of 2003, we visited the Wright Brothers National Memorial, which was memorably during the centennial year. Months later, on December 17, I was in first period 7th grade science class at the exact moment of the first flight.
The first flight was made by Santos Dumond in 1906. The Wright brothers allegedly flew before him, but there is no record of this. Santos Dumond did it in front of the Eiffel Tower with half of Paris watching. And the plane took off by itself, not with that catapulted bullshit.

It is.
As I've said, the only thing that limits us currently from breaking the speed of light is fuel because our rockets currently use fuel and the amount of it we would need to accelerate past the speed of light would be so heavy and expensive that wouldn't allow any of the rockets we currently have or can build to lift from the ground.

ASSISTED TAKEOFF?: So far no one has commented on this comment.
I welcome disputes but prefer something more than an unsupported claim.
The 1905 French FAI would not recognize any records that did not begin with an unassisted take-off.
Assistance included the use of a catapult or a headwind or a hill. . . .
I don't think the use of a mono-rail track would disqualify a record
but there are a number of SD fans who seem to think it would.
The derrick linear catapult (nothing like a sling shot) does provide
up to an estimated 6 mph of forward thrust.
It effectively shortened the length of the runway that a plane uses to accelerate to take off speed.
The Wrights disagreed with this edict but complied in 1908 if required for
an official record and when a buyer wanted a particular feature such as wheels.
.
Wilbur Wright experienced this anti-catapult chauvinism in France in 1908 when he set an altitude record and the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) denied him the record because he made an "assisted" take-off.
To prove to the French that whatever assistance the catapult had provided was beside the point, Wilbur took off unassisted on skids alone and set the record anew.
(More at WrightBrothers.org and Wright-Brothers.com.)
REF: The Santo-Dumont controversy (in Portuguese) at santos-dumont.net/controvercia.htm
SB: Why not use the 100 ft. rail without the derrick?
That would meet the requirement of no assistance.
WBO: Two years later, the Wrights gave in to market pressures and began to install wheeled undercarriages on their airplanes. But they still used the same 1906 Dayton upright 4 engine they had used when they first flew in France.
(REF: 2 books and a Wikipedia page describe all the early Wright engines)
Power wasn't an issue (once they had a 28+ HP motor); they could have added wheels earlier.
Wilbur simply believed that the catapult and rail system was better (and safer).

I LIVE IN GREENSBORO NC AND WAS AT THE MUSEUM BACK IN JUNE WHILE ME AND MY HUSBAND, AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS RENTED OUT A VACATION HOME IN COROLLA NC WHICH WAS NICE AND UP THE ROAD FROM THE MUSEUM BACK IN JULY OF 2021
Then: Heavier-Than-Air flight is impossible!
Now: Faster-Than-Light travel is impossible!
It is?
That's a great line..
@@janetrao2733 yes and no.
If we develop Warp Drives , commonly portrayed in science-fiction , then we will travel FTL , without the ship/plane been actually faster than light.
Just think, there were people who watched mankind transition from horse, to automobile, watched mankind take flight, watched men and women fly across the world, watched mankind surpass the sound barrier, watched mankind go to space, and even watched mankind step foot on the moon, IN THE SAME LIFETIME!!
Amazing this thing could fly .
Thank you so much
If you look at human history, you would see that man has not progressed as much in thousands of years as he has in a hundred years. Demonstrations had plunged the whole world into astonishment. It was such a great achievement that after that man did not look back and reached the moon. Now, exactly 117 years later, man is about to make history by flying a machine on another planet.
wright brothers will be astonished to see modern planes
With a catapult even shit can fly

@@liljay2326 so why they used it later? I thought technology goes forward, not backward.

The Wright flyer is underrated
From this to the thrust vectoring monster; the F-22, is crazy.
So interesting to see how they used a large stone or lead weight as a catapult to push the Wright Flyer off into the air!
There was a pulley near the ground in front of the Flyer, so it was pulling the Flyer forward to reduce the need for a long runway.
Yes not a true rise off the ground flight (ROG)
@@gke3800 amazing that the compromise was met with just a rock and a pulley

The Brazilian, Alberto Santos Dumont, was the one who designed, built and flew the first dirigible balloons with a gasoline engine. This merit was internationally guaranteed by winning the Deutsch Prize in 1901, when he circled the Eiffel Tower with his airship. The one by the Wright brothers from 1903 needed a catapult, (then it was just a glider, with no evidence that it actually flew) while the 14-bis by the Brazilian Santos Dumont, flew in 1906 with one engine without needing a catapult or a ramp, that's a real plane, which won in 1906 the Prize (Archdeacon) the world's first aviation prize. Launched in France on September 15, 1904 and sponsored by attorney Ernest Archdeacon.
The weight to help launch it,simple but effective.
The first man that flew an airplane, and nobody doubts it was Alberto Santos Dumont with his 14-bis.
Keep in mind, dispite people claiming that the Wright brothers weren't the first flyers, name any other aviator at the time that could control their plane? Wright's had complete control of their plane. Everyone else was in a uncontrollable straight line. That's the main reason why people call the Wright brothers the first flyers. They could control their plane

Nobody believe this video, it's actually a 2018 dramatization of the 1910 recreation of the first Wright Brothers flight!!!1!11!!!!1!
You are probably right but where is the documentation?
The film clips are from 1908 to 1910. They are not recreations since the aircraft is a more recent 1906 or later prototype. The original had a 12 hp engine. This one had a 28 -30 hp. engine and a seat for a passenger.
And the credit to Gustave Whitehead for flying in 1901 in Bridgeport Connecticut, 2 years before the Wright Brothers?
1902 - scientists struggling to make a flying machine
1903 - and we took that personally.

In fact, the Wright brothers invented the first motor kite. Their "plane" was not able to take off by itself (it was launched from a launching pad) and also it was not able to land by itself, having no landing gear. They land in a corn field to cushion the landing.
The first fly with a modern airplane, no external aid for take off and landing on it's own landing gear has been performed in 18.03.1906, France -by the romanian inventor Traian Vuia. He is also the inventor of the Vuia boiler (who has been used for the steam locomotives).
I encourage you to do some genuine research.
"You heard about that machine that can make a man fly?"

Today we call it Airplanes.
Este filme de 2:32 minutos está muito bem e é revelador. Estamos vendo como o avião é lançado com uma catapulta, ou seja, que o vôo foi impulsado pela catapulta e não pelos motores.
If they are alive now..Wright Brothers React To Lockheed Martin F35 Lightning ii and Boeing 747- 8, Airbus A380,Concorde and lot of planes On a Yt Channel And Maybe they have their own Wright Plane Company.
Did y’all notice the cute little white dog running along the side of the car at the end of the film? Ha-Ha! 🐶
You know it's kind of funny they invented the plane before inventing the damn runway.
You figured out aerodynamics but it never crossed your mind to make a smooth piece of road to take off from?
Kragatar one thing at a time, would be pretty pointless at the time to use resources on a runway that may not be needed for this particular light air craft
@@ryancnayr But like... Getting a plane off the ground without a runway is extremely difficult. Would have been well worth the investment to build a runway for prototype testing. Even just a gravel road to take off from would be better than bumpy dirt.
I don't find it that strange.
Santos Dumont competed for a prize at a location that allowed him to taxi 200 ft.
The Wrights had a wooden track of 60 to 100 ft. and tiny rimmed wheels that would
stay on the track for 40 ft. or so. Wheels would be of little use in the sandy soil around Kitty Hawk. Back in Ohio, he added a catapult to compensate for the lack of strong head wind. The Flyer needed at least 15mph of headwind to get off the ground.
The Catapult could provide some of that needed wind speed. Huffman Prairie was not smooth so wheels didn't make much sense there either.
@@Kragatar ...Getting a plane off the ground without a runway is extremely difficult..........you know that , we all know that ....NOW ..........................but no one had ever flown before the wright brothers........even in ww2 , a lot of airfields were still grass , still are for small private planes ...................at the time the wright brothers were starting to fly , everything they did, they had to invent , it didnt exist ..................isnt hindsight a wonderful thing :)))
@@richard6440 Yeah but some things just make sense right off the bat. In all their hundreds of attempts to fly, bouncing and banging on rough dirt, you'd think one of them would stop and go "fuck this. We need to smooth this damn ground out before we try again".

No.
Nope
that is just quite simply stupendous!on every single level
Their first successful flight was 1903 in US and this footage was from 1909 in france where the wright brothers shown to the france of what they have accomplished and their contribution in flying machines and safety, and because of the wright brothers they gave birth of what we called AVIATION.

Yeah. And all that footage is clear. This is clear. But ufo footage always sucks. Why?
Santos Dumont invented the airplane, that's a fact. The first object havier than air to take off on its own power and fly. He flew in 1906 in front of 15,000 people in Paris, the Wright brothers hadn't yet solved the launch problem, their aircraft still needed to run on rails to reach take off speed by then and did all their work without witnesses. Truth to be told their aircraft had more efficient aerodynamics and maneuverability, but Santos Dumont did first. The US government's lobby that changed history, but time is the mother of truth.

1906 first flight. Study more
Those guys were legend.
This is NOT the first flight.
On October 23, 1906, a milestone in history was reached: Dumont made his 14-Bis fly, a machine heavier than air.
The device was sustained at a height between 2 and 3 meters by a long 60 meters off the ground during a public exhibition made in the field of Bagatelle, France. The exhibition lasted 7 seconds and was witnessed by more than a thousand people, having even been filmed. Dumont did not use any ramp or catapult resources, the device left the ground with its own resources. The Wright brothers put the plane in the sky with the help of a rail system. Although revolutionary, the invention still needed a catapult to launch the device so that it would not depend only on the wind
This is just nonsense, please use actual facts. The Wright brothers were first no catapult.
Franklin Andrade Ribeiro de Souza --I encourage you to do some genuine research.
It couldn't be the first flight because there's no joy among any of the team members. Looks like a routine matter for them.
Clever observstion, this is from 1909.
Agreed
I am reading their autobiography at the moment. Very inspiring
For getting things clear: Wright Brothers invented a glider (they threw a glider and glided, this is a glider, not a plane). Santos Dumont, a brazilian inventor, invented the first aeroplane with motor that really could fly (the plane took off and landed).The register is in Paris, 14 bis. So, no, north-americans didn't invent the aeroplane as the north-american professors teach to the children.
Your 3rd world education is showing. You really should learn the ACTUAL FACTS before you post comments based on the Brazilian propaganda.
The Wrights made 4 (that's FOUR; can you count that high?) flights the first day, and the last was a full minute, under power and under control. That's not gliding, that's not "thrown". And then they made an improved model that they flew in 1904 (WITHOUT a catapult), 2 years before Dumont.
Can you grasp how foolish you make yourself and every one of your countrymen look, when you make your statements that are completely contradictory to proven recorded facts? You really should forget all the nationalist nonsense that you have been force fed, and start doing real research to find out the truth that has been hidden from you since birth.
@@mikearmstrong8483 I'm not saying the didn't but just look, if they did that amazing flight in 1904, why did they still use the catapult in 1908 (when this video was shot), also they tried to sell the idea for the American government in 1908 but the plane crashed (again, 1908, 5 years after they do the first flight and 4 years after the improved plane that you were talking about). So what's the difference between their first flight and Gustave whitehead first flight? Both doesn't have any proof. If you don't have someone reputable and impartial to see (for real a local newspaper doesn't count) or any kind of proof you can't say you were the first doing something. I mean in Guinness book criteria they shouldn't be the first ones. They were really important for the history of aviation but it's almost impossible to affirm they were the first ones to make a airplane.
@@filipedeina1178
Again, the bullshit propaganda fed to Brazilians. THERE WERE WITNESSES!!!!!!!!!!! The United States Coast Guard was there to see the first flight, and it is part of their official records, as preserved in the national library. So is the contract for having an engine block machined for them in 1903. You people have no right to say anything about this matter at all, until you do some REAL RESEARCH that is not based in your lying educational system. I don't debate with people who have no access to facts.
As for saying the newspaper accounts can't be trusted, then how do you know Dumont ever flew in 1908? Did you see it yourself? No, you didn't. Oh, thousands of people did? How do you know? Because it was reported in the French newspapers? Which could have been lying, since you say yourself that newspapers are not a trustworthy source.
And your argument about catapults is just F'n stupidity; that's like saying the F-18 Hornet isn't an airplane because it uses a catapult.
You say the same thing that every Brazilian says; there is no proof. The fact is that there is tons of proof; you people are just too ignorant or brainwashed to look at the proof objectively, and acknowledge it exists.
@@mikearmstrong8483 Don't waste your time. They are beyond convincing. They have utterly deluded themselves at this point that no matter how many reams of evidence you offer, they still think it's fabricated or fake.
How cool would it be, to be able to travel back in time to tell them what their work would become. Just 120 years ago, this was the first flight. 120 years later and we've gone to the moon. Sent men and women into space numerous times. Have hundreds of aircraft in the sky across the world, at any given time. And REGULARLY are able to fly faster than the speed of sound.
Santos Dumont of Brasil🇧🇷, the real one, the FIRST to fly "the heaviest in the air" by OWN MEANS without needing a catapult, audited by the Paris Aéroclub. Undisputed ... the selfish centrism of North American history wanting to cover the truth, you are not to blame are years of ignorance of historiography.
Nah.
So much anger, when Brazil gets into space get back to me.
From a commenter below, shawn:
To all the Brazilians who think Santos Dumont invented the airplane
Another common objection of the Santos Dumont camp is that the Wright brothers used a catapult to launch their airplane. They ignore the fact that the Wright brothers made over 40 flights of varying lengths before they built a catapult, including the four flights on December 17, 1903. They also ignore the records of the flights the Wrights made in 1904 and 1905, which show that the catapult wasn't always used. If the Wrights felt they had sufficient headwinds, they took off without it.
The Wrights continued to use the catapult and launching rail long after they needed to because they felt it offered an advantage over wheels. Aircraft with wheels needed a long take-off run; with a rail the Wrights could be off the ground in as little as 60 feet. Additionally, the rail kept the airplane headed in the proper direction until the air was flowing over the control surfaces fast enough to give the pilot adequate control. Ground loops and other accidents were all too common in wheeled aircraft that had to traverse some distance before the controls became effective.
In 1905, after the Wrights felt they had worked the bugs out of their invention and had created a practical airplane, they invited the public back again. They sent out about 30 invitations to people whom they thought would make credible witnesses. Several hundred showed up at Huffman Prairie to watch them fly on October 4 and 5 , 1905. On October 5, Wilbur was able to keep the Wright Flyer 3 in the air for 39 minutes, flying 30 complete circuits of the field and covering over 24 miles -- in public.
Wilbur Wright experienced this anti-catapult chauvinism in France in 1908 when he set an altitude record and the Federation Aeronautique Internationale denied him the record because he made an "assisted" take-off. To prove to the French that whatever assistance the catapult had provided was beside the point, Wilbur took off unassisted on skids alone and set the record anew.
Two years later, the Wrights gave in to market pressures and began to install wheeled undercarriages on their airplanes. But they still used the same engine they had used when they first flew in France. Power wasn't an issue; they could have added wheels earlier. They simply believed that the catapult and rail system was better.
Brazilians usually bring up the Wright catapult to imply that the Wright airplanes were somehow less technologically advanced than Santos Dumont's. So it's worth noting that on December 31, 1908, Wilbur Wright made a record-breaking flight where he remained aloft for 2 hours, 18 minutes, and 33 seconds, winning the coveted Coupe de Michelin. During his entire flying career, Santos Dumont never remained airborne in one of his airplanes for more then 15 minutes.
Keep in mind, dispite people claiming that the Wright brothers weren't the first flyers, name any other aviator at the time that could control their plane? Wright's had complete control of their plane. Everyone else was in a uncontrollable straight line. That's the main reason why people call the Wright brothers the first flyers.

MajorBett: They invented or copied a derrick catapult in late 1904 to cope
with the light winds in Ohio. The Flyer need a 15+ mph headwind to get off
the ground. If you have a smooth runway, this take off speed can be achieved
by taxiing.
The 1906 Wright Flyer had enough power to take off on skids. They had to do this to have their flight records approved and certified by the FAI.
MB: Eles inventaram ou copiaram uma catapulta de torre no final de 1904 para lidar com
com os ventos fracos em Ohio. O Flyer precisa de um vento contrário de 15+ mph para decolar o chão. Se você tiver uma pista lisa, esta velocidade de decolagem pode ser alcançada taxiando.

This is incorrectly titled. It is a Weight flight in France, in 1908. It has a crowd of European high society watching.
In 1903, it was the Wrights and 3 or 4 local helpers from the lifesaving station and Kitty Hawk.
In 1903 they were prone on the lower wing and did not use a catapult. They had not yet made turns with the powered machine.
There are still photos (one famous) of the 1903 flights, but no movies.
Amazing few people realise the cameras at the time shot film an incompatible rate for later for more advanced equipment
relagating most of the earlier footage either to the dustbin or to percieve that period in time as just being jumpy charactors
