  Wilbur and Orville got most of there supplies.
  If they couldnt find it there they just built it
  themselves.

  in 1902.
• The glider which cost only about 15 bucks that
  time had a 32 foot wing span.

Flying The Glider

• The Wright Brothers finished there glider. In
  1903, and flew it in Kitty Hawk NC. The glider
  only flew for a few seconds. And there was only
  few people to witness the spectacular event.
• They picked that event because it had rolling
  hills and good winds.
• Before they went there though they tested it on
  there wind tunnel which they made themselves.
• It took many tries to get the right stuff
  going to fly the glider and finally now they did
  it.

Gliders of Today

• We wouldnt probably accomplish our aviation
  history without the Wright Brothers.
• Some people doubted them, and thought we wouldnt
  fly for couple hundred years.
• But all that mattered is that they accomplish
  there dream though. Without there accomplishment
  we wouldnt probably fly across countries today.
