Question

During their childhood, what else did the boys do besides studying in school? lesson - The Wright Brothers ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1878 when the family lived in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, their father brought home a toy helicopter for his two younger sons. The device was based on an invention of French aeronautical pioneer Alphonse Pénaud. Made of paper, bamboo and cork with a rubber band to twirl its rotor, it was about 1 ft (30 cm) long. Wilbur and Orville played with it until it broke, and then built their own.[22] In later years, they pointed to their experience with the toy as the spark of their interest in flying.[23]
