Answer:
The sky’s the limit”, they say. On a windy December day, two brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright, gave a whole new perspective to this phrase as they created history.
The concept of aviation had existed for centuries — in Greek mythology 2,000 years ago, when Icarus flew too close to the sun, or in Leonardo Da Vinci’s work ‘Codex on the Flight of Birds’ in the 16th Century.
However, inspiration struck the Wright brothers in the mid-1890s when they read about the dramatic glides by Otto Lilienthal in Germany, and how he died in an unfortunate plunge of his glider. Wilbur said, “Lilienthal was without question the greatest precursor, and the world owes him a great debt”.
The Wright brothers held in their possession all their findings of failed flight attempts, dangerous crashes, and contraptions that did not work in the past. But, what made them the markers of history was that they drew up a mechanism from all that they knew, and made their plans fly.
