莱特兄弟—Wright Brothers 1. Wright Brothers - Birds of a Feather The Wright Brothers spent a great deal of 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. 莱特兄弟 - 鸟类的羽毛 赖特兄弟花了大量时间观察飞行中的鸟类。他们发现，鸟类腾空风和，空气以上的翅膀曲面流动创造电梯。鸟类改变它们的翅膀形状的转身动作。他们认为，他们可以利用这种技术来获取变形或改变一个形状的机翼部分，滚转控制。 2.In 1899, after Wilbur Wright had written a letter of request to the Smithsonian Institution for information about flight experiments, the Wright Brothers designed their first aircraft: a small, biplane glider flown as a kite to test their solution for controlling the craft by wing warping. Wing warping is a method of arching the wingtips slightly to control the aircrafts rolling motion and balance. 1899年，莱特兄弟后写了有关飞行试验资料的请求书的史密森研究院，莱特兄弟设计了第一架飞机：小，双翼飞机滑翔风筝，以测试为控制由机翼翘曲飞行船他们的解决方案。机翼翘曲是一个拱形的翼尖稍微控制飞机的摇摆运动和平衡的方法。 3.Wright Brothers - Gliders Over the next three years, Wilbur and his brother Orville would design a series of gliders which would be flown in both unmanned (as kites) and piloted flights. They read about the works of Cayley, and Langley, and the hang-gliding flights of Otto Lilienthal. They corresponded with Octave Chanute concerning some of their ideas. They recognized that control of the flying aircraft would be the most crucial and hardest problem to solve. 莱特兄弟 - 滑翔机在未来三年内，他的兄弟威尔伯和奥维尔将设计出这将是在这两个无人（如风筝）和航班的飞行驾驶滑翔机系列。他们阅读有关的凯莱，和Langley的作品，和悬挂式滑翔奥托利林塔尔航班。他们对应的八度夏奴特关于他们的一些想法。他们认识到，控制飞行的飞机将是最关键，最难解决的问题。 4.Following a successful glider test, the Wrights built and tested a full-size glider. They selected Kitty Hawk, North Carolina as their test site because of its wind, sand, hilly terrain and remote location. 滑翔机试验成功后，莱特兄弟制造和测试的全尺寸滑翔机。他们选择他们的，因为它的风，沙，丘陵地形和位置偏远小鹰试验场，北卡罗莱纳州。 5.In 1900, the Wrights suc
