Wright Brothers

In the early 20th century, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, dared to dream the impossible. Wilbur and Orville Wright, bicycle mechanics by trade, set their sights on conquering the skies. Their relentless pursuit of powered flight would change the course of history forever. Despite skepticism and setbacks, the Wright brothers persevered, meticulously studying the principles of aerodynamics and tirelessly experimenting with their designs. On December 17, 1903, on the windswept dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, their dream took flight. For a breathtaking 12 seconds, mankind's centuries-old ambition of powered, controlled flight became a reality. This moment marked the dawn of a new era, propelling humanity into the age of aviation and forever cementing the Wright brothers' place in the annals of human achievement.
