ControlMotoring and videoFlights for the army

Before motoring begun the brothers tried

gliding biplanes (The double decker!)originally the design was as a triple winged plane but these crashed so much that they stopped designing them like that

They lay on the bottom wing with usually only a clock for instruments or as bellow hung

from the bottom wing

Rudders were originally used but they proved unsuccessful and couldn’t turn suficiently The development of making a plane steer by

rolling it from side to side meant that more sharp turns could be made

Modern day dogfighting and fighter planes are very agile

The wright flyer could only make small turns that took a long time

Control

The first motor flying plane was the wright flyer They had problems when they had to turn two

propellers with only one engine Later versions of the wright flyer had

instruments such as fuel gauges and altitude indicators

This was because they wanted to have longer ,better flights

Motoring

The US Army took an interest for the planes

the brothers were producing It is not known how many planes the US Army

bought but several crashed The Army wanted the engines to be put

horizontal with the pilot but the brothers plane’s engines remained behind the pilot

This was because they would be going into the copyright of other companies
