  • The Wright Brothers Invention Of Flight

    1434 Words  | 6 Pages

    “The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space, at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air” (Burton). With the absence of advanced mechanics in the 1800s, the idea of aviation was merely an unrealistic fantasy. Among the numerous attempts to fulfill this dream, only one achieved triumph. Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright's persistence and dedication towards flight was rewarded with the successful launch of the first flying machine. As eminent American inventors and pioneers in technology, the Wright brothers' invention of flight allowed a prodigious advancement in science, created an upspring in America's economy during the 20th century and served as a foundation for America's victory in major wars.
