  • U guys are such pricks i meen seriously he tried to make a EDUCATIONAL video and u just laugh in his face u could of just said u did it wrong or tell him the mistake CLOSE MINDED my ass

  • WHT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH CLOSED MINDED AMERICANS U BRITISH TARDS SPELL THE SENTENCE RIGHT DUMBA@#

  • Wikipedia... LOL

  • The farce of the wright brother

  • santos dumont maked the first airplane. not wright brothers

  • @artur4467 yes but the wright bros came up with the plane mechanics

  • @TheMPGgang nope they mad a damn glider santos do mont made a glider when he made the 14 bis the wright brothers werent born yet

  • THE NARRATOR OF THE VIDEO HAS SUCH AN ANNOYING MONOTONE AND WHAT'S UP WITH ALL THAT MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND... THE INFO IS GOOD BUT THE SPEAKER IS HORRIBLE...

  • @MissAshify- Yes an amature to be sure. And the printed words for the cc, hearing impaired people will be disappointed, that just goes without saying, well, bye bye, MissAshify have fun in college.

  • You all believe what you want! I think you're all jealous because a brazilian man was the first one to fly. But as we all know you'll never admit this obvious fact because your ego are bigger than your brains. So accept it! The true airplane inventor was Alberto Santos Dumont, from Brazil!

  • @pliniaozao Santos was not the first one to fly, flight was around as early as the Civil War. he was not the first one to invent the plane- he made his first public flight in 1906. the Wright brothers made their first flight in 1903.

  • you got the photos mixed up at the start (orvil is the one with the mustash

  • GODDAMN YOUS!!!!

  • And they were superb engineers. As Mr. Bragg said, they solved one problem after another, step by step. Didn't just cobble something up & hope it all worked, as others evidently did. For example, home-built their own wind tunnel when only a few existed in the whole world, and theirs was the first one put to use for aeronautical research. Their efficient wings and propellers were made using the wind tunnel data.

  • Nice job for a student project, pox on your detractors.

    When they flew in France in 1908, America finally knew.  "Far superior to anything yet invented... Not a success but a triumph... This man Wright has conquered the air." The banked turn was a revelation, amazing to the onlookers. Their key contribution was three-axis control including roll control (via wing warping or ailerons).

  • @heyther3456 nope brazil did moron

  • Comment removed

  • santos dumont é o inventor do avião... o 14bis

  • @thormentamaioral meu amio esses americanos sao os ignorantis

  • I assume gasoline was discovered at the Lab before it was used for the gasoline engine.

  • @tnguyen318 The lightweight and powerful gasoline engine is certainly important. Nikolas Otto, 1876 is generally given the most credit for the invention. The Wrights built their own, with aluminum castings to give extra-light weight. Gasoline was available at the time; before widespread adoption of the engine it was an undesired by-product from refining the kerosene then widely used for lighting.

  • it seems that the narrator is GAY

  • Did the Wright Brothers invented the airplane??

  • @tnguyen318 yup the wright brothers invented the damn airplane!

  • @modempsey nope ur a closed minded american

  • @tnguyen318

    With all due respect to the Wright Brothers, also great science men, but no. The airplane was invented by Alberto SANTOS DUMONT, a brazilian, exactly, a south american. Start searching about him. Type Santos Dumont and 14 BIS.

  • If Alberto Dumont invented the airplane, why did we give credit to the Wright Brothers?

  • @tnguyen318 Santos-Dumont was Brazilian. To this day, schoolchildren in Brazil are taught that he, not the Wrights, invented the airplane. Dumont hopped in 1906 in a public flight but not very far and barely off the ground, with inefficient wings and props, and without lateral control. The Wrights' spectacular late 1905 flights were witnessed by relatively few and the news reporters' accounts were withheld from national distribution. So the 1905 flights don't count according to Brazilians.

  • Interesting how they came within One year from one another. Sometimes you think things like this have some form of a relationship.

  • @tnguyen318

    (1) Gasoline engine was becoming just good enough.

    (2) Octave Chanute, French-American aeronautical expert, knew the Wrights by 1901. He spoke of their work in France. That's why so many of the French efforts look like Wright machines. He didn't understand or convey the importance of their control system & that's one reason the French efforts didn't succeed.

    Recommended book: Wilbur and Orville by Fred Howard.

  • @tnguyen318 because americans think theyere better han everyone

  • @tnguyen318 they made a glider

  • its my dream to be a pilot s0meday..

  • Your presentaion would be very good but for the idiotic music in the bckground, sorry but just being honest, drop the music or use something more suiting.

  • @JesusPaid4You We know, you are tuning people off of Christianity with these rude interuptions?

  • HISTORY LESSON: The first person to build and fly a heavier-than-air machine was the New Zealander Richard Pearce who flew 9 months before The Wright Brothers. The Wright Brothers were the first people to perform what is called ‘controlled’ flight. The first person to actual build & fly a mechanised plane was Richard Pearce.

  • @CanterburyAtheists Pearce is not credited as the inventor of flight because his claim wasn't well documented and is open to quite some interpretation.

  • I used all of your information for a english project the besst imformation i got a 7out 7THank-you EXCELENT INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • i have to use my brother tyler acout gotta make a new one im 10 and learning about plains

  • @TylerD10000 hey man, i am a flight student at the University of Central Missouri. i am pursuing an aviation degree for professional pilot. i have my private pilot's certificate and am pursuing my instrument rating. if you have any questions with airplanes at all, i would love to answer them for you to the best of my knowledge. its nice to know that young people are interested in flight.

  • im learning things about this in school my teacher is showing us about planes im 10 its very intresting

  • @logoRH Less known are Berblinger's significant contributions to the construction of artificial limbs for medical use, as well as the spring-application in aviation. His invention of a special mechanical joint was also used for the juncture of the wings of his "flying machine."

    (Part 3)

  • @logoRH The tricky local winds caused him to crash and he was rescued by fishermen, making him the first survivor of a water immersion accident of a heavier-than-air manned "flight machine." Though he failed in his attempt to be the first man to fly, Berblinger can be regarded as one of the significant aviation pioneers who applied the "heavier than air" principle and paved the way for the more effective glide-flights of Otto Lilienthal (1891) and the Wright Brothers (1902). (Part 2)

  • @logoRH Albrecht Ludwig Berblinger (1770-1829), known as the "Flying Tailor of Ulm," started with flight experiments in Ulm, Germany, in the early 19th century. He gained experience in downhill gliding with a maneuverable airworthy semi-rigid hang-glider and then attempted to cross the Danube River at Ulm's Eagle's Bastion on the 31st of May 1811. (Part 1)

  • Dont talk when your mouth is full...

  • so what kind of grade did you get on this??

  • You mixed up the brothers' pictures. Orville had the handlebar mustache, Wilbur was the bald one.

  • sound background sooo messss

  • You just never see anyone named Orville or Wilbur anymore.

  • Shivkar Bapuji Talpade - he was the first person on the planet who flew an aircraft in 1895 , his aircraft design was later seen & copied by many westerns & THE WRIGHT-BROTHERS flew their aircraft which was the copy of Shivkar Bapuji Talpade's aircraft , so WRIGHT-BROTHERS illegaly tooked the credit

  • @rohitkumarindia I've read Mr. Talpade's story. Most interesting, especially his use of

    the principle of solar energy combined with mercury to design his plane ("...vehicle's propulsion system was identified as a "mercury vortex engine" ("The Vedic Ion Machine"), apparently a device similar to ion thruster propulsion developed in the 1970s). Though it appears it's never been officially recorded in both the Indian and foreign publications and journals, I will continue to research this.

  • @musicman88keys

    thanx for your work , and thanx for your reply , let truth prevails

  • @rohitkumarindia And thank you for stimulating me into researching this. And indeed, LET TRUTH PREVAIL!!

  • @rohitkumarindia Thanks for sharing the information.

  • @rohitkumarindia Thanks for the information. I will also look into a story of a Brazilian named Santos D'Monte. He made 14 planes beween 1901 and 1904 in his country. And he flew them himself. Many believe that Santos was the first successful flier and not the Wright Brothers. [source: The Times of India; Story: A Flight Over Chowpatty That Made History (Oct 18, 2004)].

  • The two brothers, flew in the control of three officers and their wives in a kind of hang glider he was catapulted from bera a cliff and glided Dumont in the field of Mars opposite the Eiffel Tower for hundreds of people without the aid of any ramp or catapult, took off, as the planes are up to today, took a turn on the tower a few feet off the ground and landed safely, one thing is falling with style, another is taking off and landing flight. Case closed.

  • fuck the flight i dont giva fuck 4 fucking first fucking flight all i fuckin care is to fly the fuckin modern airplane who give a fuck about who the fuck did the fuckin first fuckin fligh what the fuck n shit fuck!!!

  • @IranEmsal

    خوب پس... تو تموم.

  • @IranEmsal oooo unlucky attempt at trying to be funny :-/

  • @millsathn I couldn't agree with you more. He just proved to the world what he is by opening up his mouth.

  • Rock music doesnt fit the 1900s :\

    You should put Scott Joplin

  • bad music. true story

  • worst music choice ever!

  • GAY

    

  • u mixed up the pictures

  • Nowadays, with computers and controll systems, you can make pratically anything fly. Yes there are unconventional concepts of airplanes that came after the Demoiselle and are successful now. But the Demoiselle, of 1907, is the first successful airplane concept. Not only it is the first, but also is still today the prevailing concept.

    The Wright Brothers machines were never adopted as a concept.

  • The Wright Brothers' machine was NOT an airplane as we know now.

    Yes it could fly, yes it did fly but it is simply not the conception.

    The first was the Demoiselle from Santo's Dumont in 1908.

    It had what it makes an airplane today. A fuselage. Wings (ahead) that could sustain and also controll pitch and roll. A tail (back) that could controll pitch and yaw.

    None of the Wright's machines never had those characteristics. They were tailless goose necked machines that never led humans anywhere.

  • @LesCrapio Leaving aside the staggering misinformation on which your post is based, there have been many successful canard aircraft. The Saab Viggen and Gripen fighters and the designs of Burt Rutan are three examples which come straight to mind. The conventional tractor layout you mention was used by Bleriot and many others before Santos Dumont. Furthermore, what was Dumont's first heavier than air design? A tail first canard.

  • @spitfireJEJ Demoiselle's was from 1907, when it was still called No. 19.

    Bleriot's first "conventional tractor", the Blériot VIII, was from 1908.

    Who are you calling "many others"?

  • @LesCrapio Bleriot experimented with tractor layouts towed by power boat on the Seine while Dumont was still with lighter than air craft. Canards are inherently stable if, like all aircraft, balanced properly. Fighters use computers together with reaward centre of gravity for enhanced manouverability. Also Dumont's own first heavier-than-air aircraft was a canard.

  • @LesCrapio not really? The Wright Brothers build first airplane.

  • @digitalblue9000 I would say one of the first gliders.

  • Comment removed

  • @LesCrapio Yes, Mr. Santos-Dumont's concept is still viable today. However, we're talking about several years of improvements after the Wright Brothers' designing, building, testing and flying their aircraft in 1903. Mr. Santos-Dumont certainly does deserve credit for building an aircraft whose design are in many ways, still copied by many others. But to take away from the Wright Brothers, saying their machine was NOT an airplane is FALSE! It had lift, thrust and control. All aircraft do this.

  • Comment removed

  • The video has a bit wrong -- they flew the first 'POWERED heavier than air aircraft' there had been many heavier than air gliders including several of their own.

  • @mary2al THANK YOU SO MUCH for bringing that up. And that's truly the ONLY difference from all the other machines that glided/floated/sailed into the air.

  • Many hoped to "invent" a flying machine or airplane, but none did before the Wright brothers. What does an airplane do? It planes air, also called sustained flight. None of the previous attempts did this. The Wright brothers invented a machine that could plane air, or sustain flight. So, there can be no doubt that the Wright brothers invented the airplane. As one did not exist before their model. 1 sec ago

  • music suxs

  • A Brazilian named Santos Dumount was the first aviator to fly without any help. He has been considered by the whole world, except some Americans, the inventor of aviation/airplane.

  • The Wright brothers used catapults and trails and not presented themselves in public.

  • @paivinha95 (Part1) Although Santos-Dumont was an aviator from 1901 to 1906, many of the craft he built were a series of non-rigid airship before 1905. During late 1905 and early 1906, French aviation authorities, seeing the rapid development in aviation at the time, offered prizes for the first heavier-than air machines to be flown for 25 meters and for 100 meters. In 1906, Santos-Dumont built the 14 Bis, a Hargrave-cell biplane, powered by an Antoinette engine, in secrecy.

  • 14 Bis was the first to fly and has been proven to all the world.

  • @paivinha95 (part 2) The aircraft was transported from Neuilly, France where it was built, to nearby Bagatelle, where it could be tested. In order to simulate flight-like conditions, Santos-Dumont attached the aircraft to the belly of his latest dirigible, the Number 14, creating the first attempt to a hybrid airship. Due to this configuration, the plane came to be known as 14-bis. In August 1906, the aircraft was taken back to Bagatelle, where Santos-Dumont performed 'fast-taxi tests.

  • The first aviator in the world was Santos Dumont.

  • America built the world's first successful airplane but DID NOT invent the airplane has many Americans seem to think they did.

  • WHY USA WANT BE FIRST? 14-BIS !!!!!!!!

  • The brothers design was better than the brazil guys anyway. The bros flew thiers again and agian IT WAS SUSTAINABLE! The brazil mans was not

  • SANTOS DUMONT! 14-BIS

  • you can just say that because by this time even a kid can do that......but lets say how can you make a flying car? can you make that? well i think you will be dieng to think how to make that....at least they have the idea that their machine can fly and they did it.

  • All the Wright brothers did was put a kite together and wave mechanical wings using rusted bicycle parts, going from someone's roof to the ground (something man has been able to do since the Dark Ages). The true inventor is some Brazilian guy you've never heard of.

  • MyMerlin-You are SO wrong.

    1. They didn't use "rusty bicycle parts for their 1899 kite, it wasn't even a they, it was Wil, Orv was away on a camping trip.

    2. It was flown at a local field in Dayton, not from a roof.

    3. The mechanics of the kite proved Wil's theroy of wing warping and the missing piece to controlled flight-I'd say that this kite WAS a MAJOR step in avaiation history, I don't think that you understand. The 'Brazilian" you are refering to is Dumont.

  • nope his design was falty he coulnt fly the thing again while the wright brothers flew thiers again and again

  • @MyMerlin1 the Wright Brothers made their flight so hidden and Santos Dumont always performed in public to show that it had nothing to hide.

    14 Bis was the first to fly and has been proven to all the world.

  • @paivinha95 But let's not forget they had a still photographer and a motion picture recording camera there to film the first historic powered flight.

  • @paivinha95 (Part 3) After some minor adjustments and engine replacement (the first wasn't powerful enough for lift), he won the first of two aeronautics prizes of 3,000 francs for a 25-meter or greater flight. The second competition, this time against a plane built by Gabriel Voisin and Louis Bleriot, had Santos-Dumont fly a distance of 700 feet to win the prize of 1,000 francs. In summary, Santos-Dumont became only the second man to build and fly a powered heavier-than-air aircraft.

  • in the video the names are backwards orville is first and wilbur is after that.

  • 1:31 .. It was actually Orville dropped out of high school in 1889 after his junior year to start a printing business, Then wilbur later joined.

  • Ger a tan! lol

  • Nice Documentary. The pauses between some of the pictures was nerving. But overall well done.

    I do have to point out though a well circulated untrue fact that you have stated as have many others that The Wright Brother's historic first flight took place in Kitty Hawk. Well, It Did Not. The Wright Brother's first flight was in Kill Devil Hills. Kitty Hawk just happened to be the next major town over that had a telegraph office from which they sent there news of there historic flight.

  • @Gallaway400 That is so true. Nice to know you're putting the truth out there.  Keep up the good work and LET THE TRUTH PREVAIL!!

  • imagine the size of the catapult to launch a Boeing 747

  • Thanks for posting this, it gives the Wright brothers the credit they deserve for all their efforts. Before the Wrights there were unpowered gliders and before that there was balloons, all of which are used still. Im thinking that without a lightweight engine no powered air plane would be possible at that time, so a big credit goes to their engine maker. I dont think anyone flies a warped wing aircraft much at all today., its all about flaps and rudder stuff.

  • The Wright Brothers are admirable 'Johnnie come latelies' when you consider Lawrence Hargrave's contribution.

    Please investigate Lawrence Hargrave.

    He doesn't get a mention at all in this.

    Alas.

  • Lawrence Hargrave.

    It was he that did everything for the Wright Bros. who finally crossed his challenge.

    Hargrave sorted out flight, the engine, etc. But was challenged with a too heavy engine. He made great advancements on this, too, but then died just before his dream was realised.

    How dare this documentary not mention the bloke that set it all up.

    Lawrence Hargrave should be a household name.

    Neil Armstrong is a household name. But the people who put him there should get the credit.

  • It took till the invention of combustion engines and lightweight ones at that. I dont think someone said "well if we can invent a combustion engine then we can invent flight". I think they said "well now that we have an engine, it may be possible to use it to fly". The Wright brothers were clever.

  • braziliandoc08: correction please, not a 200 mile flight, rather a 20 MILE flight. Sorry, finger slipped? hehehehe

  • braziliandoc08: (3) The Wright brothers did not invent the airplane either, they improved on the ideas of earlier visionaries of flight, starting with Leonardo Da Vinci, whose study of flight and his drawings for a practical "flying" machine, the Ornithopter, formed the basis of a blueprint for heavier than air machines.

  • braziliandoc08: And on Oct 1905, a full year before M. Dumont made his first hop, not sustained flight, the Wright's Flyer III made a 200 mile flight, remarkable by any standards in those times. By conclusion, the Wright brothers were technically superior in airplane technology at that time, meeting ALL standard specifications of what an airplane should be. I hope we should set aside our biases and rely more on technical evaluation.

  • what the fuck?

    My history teacher said one of his students did the video!

    What a liar

  • WRIGHT BROTHERS= They said that flew but only they saw, they did not prove.

    SANTOS DUMMONT= He flew in Paris to the eyes of the parisians and of the world. He proved.

    Conclusion: Santos Dummont inventor of the aeroplane.

  • Braniliandoc08: Beg to disagree sir. An airplane by definition should be manned, heavier-than-air, fully controllable around all three (x,y,z) axes and CAPABLE OF SUSTAINED FLIGHT. M. Alberto Santos-Dumont made his first hop on Oct 23, 1906 at an altitude of 10ft for a 200feet long hop.

    The Wright brothers made their first flight on Dec 17, 1903, documented by film, no crowd though, meeting all qualifications to be called an airplane. Con'td.

  • @labuyo58

    You forgot one detail, the most important: the Wright Brothers used a CATAPULT to take off their plane. It's not the concept of an airplane, but a glider. Santos Dumont invented the airplane as we know it, with the whole Paris as his witnesses.

  • @foradilma1 The original flyer flown at Kill Devil Hills did NOT use a catpult. The reason for the catapult in Dayton was not to get off the ground but to get off the ground FASTER. Since they used a rail instead of wheels it kept the rail to a reasonable length. A catapult was not needed on the sands of Kitty Hawk because of a strong wind. The engine not only kept it in the air but allowed them to climb.

  • Susan Wright was suffering from tuberculosis for at least four years before she died  of the disease in July 1889.

  • The Wights Bros. THE UNDISPUTED FIRST to fly a POWERED, CONTROLLED heavier than air machine. Dumont was a distant second or third.

  • Alberto Santos-Dumont The Father of Aviation,4EvER!!

  • Very cool report. Love to see more videos like this on YouTube about stuff. Shared a little with my five year old son.

  • Good documentary. Bad music.

  • LOL he has the biggest Lisp lololol

  • You've misidentified the pictures of the brothers in the introduction.

    The wind tunnel was built to get accurate information on lift and drag. They had already solved most of the control problem.

  • Alberto Santos-Dumont The Father of Aviation,4EvER!!

  • the fist man to fly a plane was a naew zealander named richard pearse

  • gr8 video m8 well done
