"From the time we were little children my brother Orville and myself lived together, played together, worked together, and in fact, thought together. We usually owned all of our toys in common, talked over our thoughts and aspirations so that nearly everything that was done in our lives has been the result of conversations, suggestions and discussions between us."
Wilbur Wright, April 3, 1912

The story of their success can inspire all young dreamers to become the inventors of the future.

Part I - Inventing the Future

　

Neither Wilbur nor Orville was an educated man. Yet in order to fly, they had to become scientists. Their investigations gave them the knowledge they needed to succeed where others had failed.

　

Part II - Achieving the Dream

　

If you like to fly, December 17, 1903 is a special date to celebrate. The Wright Brothers reached the sky that day and made the world a little smaller.

　

Part III - Convincing the World

　

But who would believe it? Would you? Proving their success was almost as challenging as learning to fly.

　

Part IV - Crafting the Flyer

　

Did they get it right the first time? Of course not. Scientists rarely do, but their 1903 Flyer became the model for others who tried to fly.
