The power to the two propellers was supplied by a 12-horsepower water-cooled engine.]]> 2017-04-27 16:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ieva_juozapaitytee/hnspjpbvvl5u/wish/168684023 ieva_juozapaitytee https://padlet.com/ieva_juozapaitytee/hnspjpbvvl5u/wish/168686650 Orville and Wilbur Wright were raised in Dayton, Ohio. Although they did not go to college, the brothers had intuitive technical ability. Before building their airplane, they had built a printing press and operated a bicycle repair and sales shop. They constructed their own bicycles. The profits from their bicycle business funded their airplane-building venture.]]> 2017-04-27 16:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ieva_juozapaitytee/hnspjpbvvl5u/wish/168686650 ieva_juozapaitytee https://padlet.com/ieva_juozapaitytee/hnspjpbvvl5u/wish/168687516 2017-04-27 16:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ieva_juozapaitytee/hnspjpbvvl5u/wish/168687516 ieva_juozapaitytee https://padlet.com/ieva_juozapaitytee/hnspjpbvvl5u/wish/168688505 The brothers' first glider, tested in 1900, failed to fly. A second trial in 1901 fared better, but they went on the improve the design. Later that year, the brothers built a wind tunnel in which they tested over 200 wing and airframe designs. This resulted in a successful glider (unpowered) model (flown in 1902 at Kill Devils Hills near Kitty Hawk).
