The Wright Brothers Ridiculed My Life
Who is the person you most admire and why?

In 21st century, taking on a plane, people can travel around half of the world in 14 hours. After the invention and development of the airplane, people have traveled and communicated with people in different nation, and this communication led to globalization. The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, successfully invented the first airplane although people always ridiculed them. The Wright brothers never gave up their goal and their passion and effort changed me: I become a more positive, confident and passionate than ever.

The Wright brothers, born in America, Orville and Wilbur were inventors and pioneers. They are totally credited with inventing, building and flying the first successful airplane in the world. At first when the brothers said that they will make a machine to fly the sky, people made fun of them because, until then, no one succeeded to fly a machine. Like other people’s word, it was so hard that a heavy machine fly in the air. However, they never gave up and found the way to fly the machine. This way

However, after I grew up, I understood their belief was splendid. While everybody ridiculed the Wright brothers work and ignored their effort and goals, two young inventors never abandon their invention. I know that it’s so hard to ignore other’s words and push on own work. However, they did not mind whatever people said and just followed their firm conviction. The Wright brothers’ another strength is a great passion for flight. If I were an inventor of the first airplane, I would have finished my research right after I succeeded the first flight. On the other hand, the Wright brothers did not. They sustained to progress their airplane and established the foundation of aviation. They never stop to follow their ultimate aim which is to make a aircraft which can take person and travel far away until they

    Guglielmo Marconi is to the telephone pole as the Wright Brothers are to the airplane. Both of the people noted were inventors of great items, though they hadn’t invented the ideas of their works. Off of the subject of inventions, this essay will discuss a strange subject. Are great men hard to understand? In the book “The Chosen “ by Chaim Potok, Mr. Malter makes the statement “Great men are difficult to understand” in regards to Reb Saunders. This statement could also be associated with the Wright Brothers, the creators of the first controllable airplane. Their motives for wanting to abandon their humble, and comfortable lives, to compete in a race to create the first airplane will never be completely explained. All great people, including the Wright Brothers, are hard to understand.…

    “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” Leonardo da Vinci. Wilbur and Orville Wright are known throughout the world as the first men to fly an airplane. This, however, is a myth. “The first fixed-wing aircraft -- a kite mounted on a stick -- was conceived and flown almost a century before Orville and Wilbur made their first flights” (Engler). The Wright Brothers, however, were the first to control an airplane in the air. Though not the first to fly, these flight-loving brothers made tremendous impacts on aviation. Three controls, roll, pitch, and yaw, are what allows an airplane to fly in all three dimensions. This simple,…

    On December 17, 1903 the Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, made history when they took off in flight and invented the first airplane. This is how the planet earth began shrinking geographically making it easier and quicker to travel over long distances. 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. 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.…
