This is the one that started all... The authentic, the very same, pioneer, legitimate, only original 'Flyer' built by the Wright brothers that flew at Kitty Hawk, NC, December 17, 1903, as the first controlled and sustained heavier-than-air powered human flight.
Here displayed at 'The Wright Brothers and the Invention of the Aerial Age' exhibit, in the National Air and Space Museum, by the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC.

  • @ishouldplayzelda Actually, it's NOT backwards. The elevators are in the front of the plane rather than the back, like on modern planes. Also, the props are "pushers." That's why it only LOOKS backward.

  • it looks backwards. why does it fly backwards?

  • @50nollieman They fixed it up..

  • 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.

  • oh... nice! haha
