The Unlikely Inventors - transcript of the interview with a Smithsonian Wright biographer and aeronautics historian Tom Crouch. He explains how a genius for engineering, a dogged perseverance, and an unflagging belief in the ultimate success of their enterprise paid off for the Wright brothers on December 17, 1903, the day they ushered in the airplane age. The First Reporter - summary of reporting of the invention and public reaction to the event. Pilot the 1903 Flyer - You control the flyer's components online! Teacher's Guide - in six pages of PDF December 17, 2003, marked the centennial of the world's first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. To celebrate this milestone, NOVA presents the definitive documentary on the invention of the airplane. While many shows have retold the Wright brothers' personal story, no program has properly explored the astonishing inventiveness that they applied to the problem of powered flight. NOVA reveals that the popular image of the Wrights as amateur bicycle mechanics who tinkered their way into the sky is a total myth. The program features exhilarating footage of flights by exclusively commissioned replicas that use the same original materials and the only existing Wright engine for the frail craft that first propelled humans toward the clouds. The triumph of powered flight comes alive once more in NOVA's epic documentary. Kitty Hawk: The Wright Brothers' Journey of Invention PBS News Hour ExtraAviation Fans Celebrate First Flight This week, aviation enthusiasts are celebrating the Wright brothers' first flight with exhibits, air shows and other events in places around the country, culminating in a reenactment of the Wrights' accomplishment in Kill Devil Hills on Dec. 17. The brothers fixed the plane and tried again Dec. 17. It was Orville's turn. The flyer soared into the air and traveled 120 feet for 12 seconds, marking the first controlled, piloted, powered flight. Lesson plan includes initiating, reading comprehension and discussion questions - worth a teacher's "examination".
