Introduction
Modern aviation today looks nothing like it did one-hundred and ten years ago. During that time, the Wright Brothers had made the first ever,
longest sustained flight that was heavier-than-air and could be lifted off from the ground with its own power. Many have accomplished
flying a heavier than aircraft before the Wrights, but there is something that the Wright Brothers had done that stood them apart. The Wright
Brothers’ "Wright Flyer" technology created a significant turning point in the history of flight and a turning point in technology because it was
the longest sustained flight that was controlled by a man and could turn and not crash.
