Wilbur died at May 30, 1912 (age of 45) in Dayton, Ohio.


Birds of a Feather  ﻿ ﻿ The Wright Brothers spent a long time observing birds in flight. They noticed that birds soared into the wind and that the air flowing over the curved surface of their wings created lift. Birds change the shape of their wings to turn and maneuver. They believed that they could use this technique to obtain roll control by warping, or changing the shape, of a portion of the wing.

Their Achivements In 1897, Wright brothers started studying the problems of mechanical and human flight. In 1899 August, Brothers built and Wilbur flied a biplane kite in order to test the "wing-warping" method of controlling a flying machine. This experiment encourages the Wright brothers to proceed with constructing a flying machine with a pilot. In 1900 October, Wrights began their experiments, flying their glider as a kite and as a man-carrying glider. The brothers built a movable track to help launch the Flyer. This downhill track would help the aircraft gain enough airspeed to fly.They tried to make it fly for many times, at finally it flew. However it stayed in air only about two minutes. They made mistakes but they let those go. They didn't give up or became sad after their mistake. They just kept trying, they knew that mistakes can help you do for next time. That was why they were not afraid of making mistakes.

Why are They Considered to be a Groundbreakers  Wright brothers are considered to be groundbreakers. Groundbreaker means a person who is an originator, innovator, or pioneer in a particular activity. I definitely think Wright brothers are Groundbreakers because they were all originators, innovators and pioneers. They spent years desining and studying about flight. And they also tried to fly the flights made times untill they made it. The biggest reason why they are considered to be groundbreakers is that they got sussecced and became famous being the first inventor of flight at last.
