Hi, I'm Alexander Samsel with more science news you can use.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Who invented the aeroplane?

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000
The what?

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,000
The aeroplane.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
About a hundred years ago, when the aeroplane was invented, it was called an aeroplane.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Wilbur and Orville Wright were bicycle builders in Dayton, Ohio.

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Bicycles were considered high-tech back then.

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
They decided to build a flying machine.

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
They studied mathematics and engineering, built a wind tunnel and tested about 200 different wind designs

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
and used a lot of bicycle parts to construct the aeroplane called the Flyer.

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000
On December 17, 1903, Wilbur Wright piloted the longest flight by a powered aircraft.

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
He stayed in the air for 59 seconds at Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Until next time, I'm Alexander Samsel with more science news you can use.
