Wright Adventures-1902 Wright Brothers Glider

In 2003 three engineers from BF Goodrich Aerostructure with the help of family and friends built a replica of the 1902 Wright glider on their own spare time. This was the culmination of years of study of the Wright Brothers as a hobby. The project proved to be a magnet for people and allowed the team many opportunities to educate people about the wonder of what the Wrights did. Now the goal is to take this kind of activity further by forming a not for profit organization that will allow Wright Adventures to dedicate full time effort towards this interest.

Wing warping was an early system for lateral control of an aeroplane. This technique was used and patented by the Wright brothers and consisted of a system of pulleys and cables to twist the trailing edges of the wings in opposite directions. The entire wing structure would twists slightly in a helical motion in the pilot's desired direction.
