Why were the Wright brothers able to succeed in an effort at which so many others had failed? Many explanations have been mentioned, but three reasons are most often cited, First, they were a team. Both men worked cooperatively, read the same books, located and shared information and discussed incessantly about the possibility of manned flight, and served as a consistent source of inspiration and encouragement to cach other. Quite simply, two geniuses are better than one. Both were glider pilots. Unlike some other engineers who experimented with the theories of flight, Orville and Wilbur Wright experienced the practical aspects of aerodynamics by building and flying kites and gliders, Each craft they built was slightly superior to the last, as they incorporated knowledge gained from pervious failures. They had realized from their experiments that the most serious challenge in manned flight would be stabilizing and maneuvering the aircraft once it was airborne. While others concentrated their efforts on the problem of achieving lift for take-off, the Wright brothers were focusing on developing a three-axis control for guiding their aircraft. By the time that the brothers started to build an airplane, they were already among the world’s best glider pilots; they knew the problems of riding the air first hand. QI.
