威布尔．莱特 (Wilbur
Wright) 与欧尔威尔．莱特 (Orville
Wright) 的第一次飞行
1903年12月17日
欧尔维尔进行第一次飞行，不过只维持了12秒。不过就在那天的最后一次飞行时，威布尔飞了57秒之久。兄弟两人都幸运的活了下来，那天是1903年的12月17日。他们在那天也率先成为完全掌控这架比空气还重的机器而持续飞行的人。你知道这对兄弟在成功之后做了什么吗？
欧尔威尔和威布尔兄弟两人走了四英里的路程到达吉特赫克小镇 (Kitty
Hawk) ，记了一封电报给他们的父亲，告知：「星期四早上四次成功飞行，风速21英里，从引擎动力阶段开始，平均时速31英里，最久飞行57秒，请通知媒体，我们圣诞节会回家。」
世界也将因此而永远改变了。
Orville piloted the first flight, which lasted just 12 seconds. On the fourth and final flight of the day, Wilbur flew for 57 seconds. Both brothers survived that morning, December 17, 1903. That day they became the first people to demonstrate sustained flight of a heavier-than-air machine under the complete control of the pilot. What did the brothers do after their exciting success?
Orville and Wilbur Wright walked four miles to Kitty Hawk and sent a telegram to their father: "Success four flights Thursday morning all against twenty one mile wind started from level with engine power alone average speed through air thirty one miles longest 57 seconds inform Press home Christmas."
The world was about to change forever.
