Under the direction of the operator it climbed upward on an inclined course till a height of 8 or 10 feet from the ground was reached

18、.3> Into the teeth of a December gale the 11 Flyer1' made its way forward with a speed of 10 miles an hour over the ground and 30 to 35 miles an hour through the air.4. The height chosen was sufficient for maneuvering in so gusty a wind and with no previous acquaintance with the conduct of th

19、e machine and its controlling mechanisms.5 .In attempting to bring the machine down to the desired height, the operator turned the rudder too far, and the machine turned downward more quickly than had been expected.On the morning of December 17, 1903, between 10:30 a.m. and noon, four flights were m

20、ade，two by Orville Wright and two by Wilbur Wright. The starts were all made from a point on the level sand about 200 feet west of our camp, which is located a quarter of a mile north of the Kill Devil sand hill, in Dare County, North Carolina.The wind at the time of the flights had a velocity* of 2

21、7 miles an hour at 10a.m., and 24 miles an hour at noon, as recorded by the anemometer* at the Kitty Hawk Weather Bureau Station.The flights were directly against the wind. Each time the machine started from the level ground by its own power alone with no assistance from gravity or any other source

22、whatever.After a run of about 40 feet along a monorail* track, which held the machine 8 inches (20 centimeters) from the ground, it rose from the track and under the direction of the operator climbed upward on an inclined course till a height of 8 or 10 feet from the ground was reached, after which

25、t was short.The succeeding flights rapidly increased in length and at the fourth trial a flight of 59 seconds was made, in which time the machine flew a little more than half a mile through the air and a distance of 852 feet over the ground.The landing was due to a slight error of Judgment on the pa

26、rt of the aviator After passing over a little hummock* of sand, in attempting to bring the machine down to the desired height, the operator turned the rudder* too far, and the machine turned downward more quickly than had been expected.

30、the first effective airplane* At Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, Orville Wright made the first successful flight of a piloted9 heavier-than-air, self-propelled craft, called the Flyer. The third Flyer, which the Wrights constructed in 1905, was the worldfs first fully practical air
