Wright, Wilbur

American inventors Oi-villc and Wilbur Wright fly the first powered aircraft at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. [Pg.1242]

American inventors Orville Wright (1871-1948) and Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) make the first sustained flight in North Carolina with an airplane controlled by warping the wings. [Pg.131]

Although she helped support each one of her brothers grand endeavors, but Orville and Wilbur Wright s sister Katherine was never truly perceived as a hero. [Pg.10]

Although she helped support each one of her brothers grand endeavors), followed by another dependent clause (but Orville and Wilbur Wright s sister Katherine was never truly perceived as a hero). Whenever a sentence starts with a dependent clause (your clue is it cannot stand alone and starts with although), it must be followed by an independent clause (a statement that grammatically can stand on its own). If it doesn t, this is called faulty subordination. By removing the but, as in choice d, your second clause becomes dependent, and the sentence is correct. [Pg.14]

Is homeschooling a new fad Are parents doing it just because it is the stylish thing to do Well, if that were the case, we would have a hard time explaining how people such as Wilbur and Orville Wright came to be homeschooled. [Pg.4]

Wing design is a critical component of the lift developed by an aircraft. This is the principle that Orville and Wilbur Wright were studying with their wind tunnel. We call the principle aerodynamics. The name aerodynamics is also used by the science that deals with the motion of air and the resulting forces from the interaction of air and objects. [Pg.253]

To raise Flyer off the North Carolina beach, Orville and Wilbur Wright needed it to move fast enough that the air moving along the wings would develop the required lift. It means that an aircraft requires propulsion to develop its forward motion. [Pg.258]

Describe how Orville and Wilbur Wright s engineering design knowledge and skills changed society. [Pg.266]

Lewis, G.W. (1939). Wilbur Wright Memorial Lecture Some modem methods of research in the problems of flight. Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society 771-800. [Pg.556]

The engine block of the airplane built by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903 was made of aluminum obtained by electrolysis. [Pg.609]

Solid-fueled rockets developed in China in the thirteenth century achieved the first successful continuous propulsion of heavier-than-air flying machines. In 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright used a spinning propeller driven by an internal combustion engine to accelerate air and develop the reaction force that propelled the first human-carrying heavier-than-air powered flight. [Pg.1528]

Wright Flyer (Wilbur and Orville Wright) The Wright Flyer is the first heavier-than-air machine to solve the problems of hft, propulsion, and steering for controlled flight. [Pg.2050]

The Wright brothers, Orville (1871-1948) and Wilbur (1867-1912), bicycle manufacturers from Dayton, Ohio, brought the diversity of research together in the design of their... [Pg.149]

On 17 December 1903, when Wilbur and Orville Wright flew a heavier-than-air machine the distance of 120 feet at Kitty Hawk in North Carolina, a new industry was born (Fig. 1). An industry which, in 100 years, has caused the size of the world to be cut so that no two places are more than a few hours apart, has sent men to the moon and has sent unmanned spacecraft to other planets as well as deep into space. Thus, today, the aerospace industry stands at the cutting edge of science and technology, with a history of innovation, of radical designs and the adoption of novel advances in technology. [Pg.217]
