Dude this video was amazing I’ve done lots of research on the Wright brothers but never learned about the plane getting destroyed. I love what your doing John keep up the amazing work. Also you should make some merch it would be fire.
Thank you for going places too far away for me to see, and researching as much as you do! Compared to modern aircraft (cessna's are the only ones I've handled, but I have done research on all eras of aviation) it's so primitive yet so advanced at the same time. Despite only being constructed of wood and canvas, it has a lot of ingenious solutions to aeronautic problems. Great job!
I believe it was actually Wilbur who flew first on December 16th but damaged the aircraft before leaving the rail. They spent the evening of the 16th doing repairs. Hence, Orville was next to fly on the 17th making the historic "first" flight. You might mention that the Wright's wing warping method was quickly abandoned as impractical. Ailerons (the control surfaces that you were trying to describe) existed prior to 1903 and were first used for powered flight in 1908. The aileron was the standard aircraft control surface by 1911. You might also mention that the engine was designed by the Wright's bicycle shop mechanic, Charlie Taylor. Henry Ford would not build the Wrights an engine. Cast aluminum was very rare at the turn of the 20th century. Charlie's lightweight, non-carborated, drip-fed engine was a major factor in the success of the early flights.
Nah that was with an airship which is not a heavier than air vehicle. I did make the mistake of not mentioning “heavier than air” and just powered flight, so that was my mistake thank you!

Hint HINT. Thx!
Good work, John! You and your help do a fine job making these instructive and inspirational videos ... please keep up the good work.

Great videos Thanks Enjoy your enthusiasm!

Wow! Very informative, if I cover the topic again I will include that! I appreciate it!
Excellent work as always. When’s the eclipse video coming out?
😅
The real father of aviation is Alberto Santos Dumont, who made the first documented flight at the Paris Aeroclub.

He basically just flew a balloon with propellers
@hardwaremanagers --Santos-Dumont's first heavier-than-air flight was in 1906, three years after the Wright Flyer I first flew.
