Wright Brothers' Invention Process -- Developed Test Pilot Skills
http://wright.grc.nasa.gov/testpilot.htm
1903 - Wright Flyer. 1901 - Wind Tunnel. Wright Brothers' Invention Process. 1900 - 1905) - Developed Test Pilot Skills. Besides being airplane designers, and test engineers, the Wright Brothers were the first pilots. Of a heavier than air, powered aircraft. They developed their piloting skills by making over 1000 flights on a series of gliders. Today, NASA test pilots at the Dryden Flight Research Center continue the pioneering work of the Wright Brothers. Legend of Related Programs:. The mobile state-o...

Wright Brothers' Invention Process -- Tested Theories
http://wright.grc.nasa.gov/tested.htm
1903 - Wright Flyer. 1901 - Wind Tunnel. Wright Brothers' Invention Process. 1901 - 1902) - Tested Theories. Experiments did not meet the performance goals which the brothers calculated before the flights. In late 1901, the brothers began to doubt the data which they were using to design their aircraft. They built a wind tunnel. And developed model-testing techniques. To more accurately determine the lift and drag of their aircraft. They tested over two hundred different wings and airfoil models. This pr...

http://wright.grc.nasa.gov/flightcontrol.htm
1903 - Wright Flyer. 1901 - Wind Tunnel. Wright Brothers' Invention Process. 1900 - 1902) - Developed Flight Control Systems. The Wright brothers' ideas for flight control. Were tested on a series of unpowered aircraft. Between 1900 and 1902. These aircraft were all flown as kites. Their aircraft were built with movable surfaces on the wing. Control of the surface shape was in the hands of the pilot. They extensively tested these ideas by glider flights. Legend of Related Programs:. This NASA sponsored d...

1903 - Wright Flyer. 1901 - Wind Tunnel. Wright Brothers' Invention Process. 1903 - 1920's) - Developed Propulsion Systems. The Wright Brothers were the first to fly a self-propelled. Heavier than air machine. This required the development of two other pieces of technology; a light weight motor. To push the aircraft through the air. The brothers based their engine design on an early internal combustion engine. Legend of Related Programs:. Beginners Guide to Propulsion. CORE is the world-wide distribution...
