They eventually moved to Dayton, Ohio Wilbur was born on April 16th, 1867 and died on May 30th, 1912. They flew the first airplane in Kitty Hawk, North Ca rolina. They started talking with the Smithsonian Institute for information on past inventions that failed. They enjoyed studying birds to see their way of aerodynamics. Their father made toy airplanes and helicopters. They were said to have gone to flight school. Their first plane that they tried to fly had a wingspan of 22 feet and weighed nearly 100 pounds; they flew it at Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. That plane failed because it was too heavy and did not have the dynamics to fly properly. Their second plane was the plane that went down in history. They flew that plane at Kitty Hawk because of the good wind, sand dune terrain, and remoteness. That airplane had a wingspan of 17 feet and weighed 50 pounds. After their first flight, they almost gave up but decided to give it another try. They finally figured out that they needed a minor powered plane and maneuverable tail. Orville Wright jumped in the flying position and had two minor crashes in test runs. Finally he got the Flyer in the air for 12 seconds. That was the longest flight recorded back then. The world had been changed forever.
