Subject: [WWWEDU] 100 Years of Aviation

December 17, 1903, 10:30 A.M.
Kill Devil Hills, near Kitty Hawk in North Carolina

The Wright Flyer lifted from level ground and Orville Wright achieved the
first powered, controlled, sustained and piloted flight. His brother, Wilbur
Wright, timed the flight with a stopwatch from the ground. On that first
flight, the Wright Flyer travelled slightly more than 9 meters; the flight
lasted 12 seconds.

The Wright brothers were the first to fully appreciate the interaction and
interdependence of aerodynamic stability, propulsion, and flight dynamics.
The YES I Can! Science Team of York University has created an online
resource for middle school teachers providing background information,
transparency masters, investigations, and topics for discussion in order to
facilitate student understanding of concepts related to aerodynamics and
flight.
