Evolution of Flight

The Wright brothers employed an iterative approach to develop controlled flight, starting with kites and gliders. Their groundbreaking work culminated in the first powered flight on December 17, 1903, with Orville piloting for just 12 seconds. Subsequent models, including the Flyer II and Flyer III, showcased significant advancements in safety, reliability, and flight duration, ultimately paving the way for modern aviation.
