HUMANS IN THE AIR!
The Wright brothers are
flying.
by: Brianna Miller
In Kitty Hawk, North
Carolina on December 17, 1903 Orville Wright successfully flew the flyer,
an airplane, at 10:35 a.m.
It was a cold windy morning in North Carolina.
"The
two brothers, plus several helpers, set up the 60-foot monorail track that
helped keep the Flyer in line for lift-off. Then Orville
clambered on board for it was his turn to be pilot." The crowed went wild
as "Wilbur ran alongside holding onto one wing to help stabilize the
plane. Around 40 feet along the track, the Flyer took
flight, staying in the air for 12 seconds and traveling 120 feet
from liftoff" (Rosenberg).
