Wilbur and Orville Wright - the Achievement of Stable Flight

Bang-up job my friend!

Nice video

Yet this is for a project I have to do but I want moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Was a 12-16 hp engine sufficient for the Wright Flyer to lift off or to sustain an air speed of 30 mph.? SB: With out the assistance of a strong head wind and a motor of over 8 hp producing over .... lbs of static thrust, the 1903 Wright Flyer or a replica of it could not take off. The second question could be answered until the fall of 1904 when the Wright Flyer III completed its first lap around the field flying both against the wind and with the wind. SB: Most museum replicas don't fly. This is definitely true with respect to the replicas built by Orville Wright. If you interviewed visitors, I bet a majority would believe that the replica they saw was the actual plane that flew in 1903. Those who conducted the first NASA wind tunnel test test built their replica based on what was in a west coast museum. They concluded that it would be next to impossible to fly and that the propeller was not only inefficient it produced more Drag than Thrust above 320 RPM. Since the Wrights' conducted two static tests of their carved props, one on site, it is unlikely they they would have used a defective prop. It is likely that there were numerous defective props that would not pass their bench test that were never thrown away. SB: When Hyde carved his props for the exact replica, he based it on the Wright's notebooks rather than what might be found in a museum. When these were tested by engineering students from ODU (Old Dominion University) at an old east coast NASA wind tunnel, they worked fine. SPol: If an airplane makes a brief jump but is unable to stay afloat because the speed drops quickly, it also generates enough lift for a moment, but not continuously. This occurs when the aircraft's power is insufficient for flight. Airplanes stay afloat by their own means. SB: That didn't happen with the Flyer III. More power is required for take off than for sustained flight. If the flyer could take off, the speed did not drop unless there was a problem with one of the components. e.g., Engine failure, bearing failure, broken prop, broken support wire, etc. The usual reason for a power drop was running out of gas. According to the reports, The late Flyer II and the Flyer III could fly in circles without losing altitude when flying with the wind. As long as there was a 30 mph wind flowing across the wings, the Flyer could maintain or sustain flight. SB: Are you arguing that a 12-16 hp engine is not sufficient to sustain an air speed of 30 mph.? SB: If the brief jump is less than 30 seconds or 300 ft., How can you talk about continuous lift? Your search seems to be for a definition that applies to the Wright's first effort but not to the first hops of the 14-Bis. - - - - - - Related comments SanPol Until today nobody was able to prove that the Flyer 1, with 340.2kg and only 12 hp could fly without external assistance, like strong wind in sloping terrain That's why no Flyer 1 replica to date has ever flown continuously on its own. SB: You have seen at least one (Nov 2003) test flight of the Wright experience exact replica. You reject this 10 second hop but accept Alberto's similar hops of 25 m. and 100 m. His official 100 m (10 sec) flight was proved by keeping the 14-Bis aloft for about 23 sec. @guiseppi3010, @SanPol, @rocknrollm, @Selma Nedel, @majorbett, @harpiasonhadora sonhadora, @Gilberto Nedel Junior, @Selma Nedel, @Marco Papa, @Anubis, @Ma-At @Renaldo Borges, @elias lima, @j b, @Jindle Spong, @Sigma Documentaries

Is that a new style of picture?

If Monstercat had replied, the perfect song to use in this video would have been "Flight" by Tristam and Braken.
