As a school science project, me and my friend ESpanop were asked to find information about great engineers of the past. We chose the Wright brothers and we decided to complete our assignment by making a 3D model of the Wright flyer in Simple Planes in order to "recreate" its first flight.When we finished it we said : "well...why not uploading it?!" and here we are. I think we did a good job.

A bit of History:

The "Wright Flyer" by Wright brothers was the first successful heavier-than-air powered flying machine. It was constructed in 1903 and it flew four times at December 17, 1903, near Kill Devil Hills, about four miles (6.4 km) south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Today, the airplane is exhibited in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.

Function:

The original Flyer had not ailerons but in order to make it more flyable we included "invisible ones" in the model. It's your choice if you want to use them or go rudder only. Take-off speed is about 53 mph, be careful not to stall. Although the original model did not include wheels, ours does, based on later models of Wright brothers, in order to make it easy (basically, possible) to taxi.

Thanks to ESpanop for the help!!! I hope you'll like it, have fun flying!!!
