This is what schools looked like when the Wright brothers were children.
Orville and Wilbur grew up in
Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio. Their father
had a job that required the family
to move from place to place. Orville
and Wilbur loved to learn, think, and
create in school and at home. Their
dad encouraged them to be creative
and to be good learners.

]Wilbur liked to play hockey. In 1885,
he got hurt while playing. It was a bad
injury, and Wilbur had to rest for a long
time. It took him three years to heal.
To pass the time, he took care of his
sick mom, helped his dad, and read. The
accident forced Wilbur to give up his
college dreams.
The Wrights lived here while Wilbur was healing.

Orville began working in a print
shop. When Wilbur finally felt
well, he joined his brother at the
shop. They invented a better, more
advanced printing press. Wilbur and
Orville took on bigger printing jobs
and were able to make more money.
Letters like these were used in printing presses.

After working at their printing shop, the
brothers had another great idea. In 1896,
they opened a bike shop, where they fixed
and sold bicycles. The Wrights also built
about 300 bicycles. Only five of those bikes
still exist today. One of the bikes was a
safer bike with two wheels that were the
same size. This was unusual for that time.
It looked like the bikes we ride today.
Bicycles looked like this until the brothers built a bike similar to the one below.

The brothers used the money they
earned from the print and bike shops to
begin their work with flight. When the
boys were young, their dad gave them
a flying toy. They played with it all the
time. The brothers studied how the toy
was built. Then they built their own flying
toy. They remained
interested in flight
ever since.
Mr. Wright stands at the center of this family photo.
Mrs. WrightWilbur and Orville may have gotten their curiosity about how things work from their mother. As a girl, Mrs. Wright spent a lot of time in her father’s carriage-making shop. As an adult, she built simple household items. She even made toys for her children.

The Wright brothers were sure they
could build a flying machine. First, they
needed to guess how to do it. Then they
had to test their ideas many times before
they thought they got it right. They used
model wings and wind tunnels and tested
more than 200 wing models. In 1902, they
built their third glider. The Wright brothers
made nearly 1,000 glides with the 1902
glider. It soared nearly 600 feet!
Inventing the Airplane!
This was the brothers’ third glider.

In 1903, the Wrights tested their first
airplane. They were in Kitty Hawk, North
Carolina. The beachfront area was the
best place for testing flight.
Orville took the first flight. He soared
through the air for 12 seconds, and the
plane went 120 feet. Flight had begun!
The Wrights continued to test airplanes
at a field near Dayton, Ohio, in 1904 and
1905. During one test, they flew 24.2 miles
in 38 minutes!
Thoughts of FlyingEarly kites got people thinking about how humans could fly. This interest led to other inventions, including hot air balloons and gliders.

In 1908, the brothers built the first
airplane for the United States Army.
The brothers worked with flight until
they died. Wilbur got sick and died in
1912. Orville died in 1948.
In 1928, there was a special event to
honor the Wright brothers. On a beach
in North Carolina, a monument stands at
the exact location of the first flight.
Wilbur and others watched Orville take flight.
