Wright Brothers' First Flight

On a windswept beach in North Carolina, two brothers from Ohio were about to change the world forever. It was December 17, 1903, and Wilbur and Orville Wright stood beside their fragile flying machine, hearts racing with anticipation. Years of study, countless experiments, and unwavering determination had led to this moment. As the engine sputtered to life and propellers whirred, Orville climbed aboard. With Wilbur running alongside, the aircraft lifted off the ground, defying gravity for 12 seconds and covering 120 feet. In that brief moment, human flight became a reality, opening the skies to exploration and ushering in a new era of transportation and innovation.
