The u. S. Government has destroyed the equivalent of millions of dollars now, and has invited leading scientists to develop manned aircraft and finally test the flight device to fall into the river。
This happened in 1903, and many people still don't believe it。
At that time, renly, a fully funded scientist, was a recognized ceiling figure in the academic world, and everyone was waiting for him to be the first to send a human being to heaven。
And then the money went out, and the test flew straight into the water, and not a single flower left much mark in the air history。
On the other side, in a little bike shop in dayton, ohio, the wilbur and orville brothers, they didn't get any official funding, they didn't even have a proper academic title。
It's full of cell phone oil and a bunch of parts to fix it。
At the time, the entire mainstream scientific community had drilled the horns: it was felt that if the power of the engine was maximized, the plane could fly by force。
Instead, the two bike-builders came up with the doorway from the cycling balance of the sky: it doesn't fly at all, it's not the core that's tough, it's the ability to play the balance。
There was a time when wilbur played around with the insides of his bike, and suddenly he came up with the idea of twisting his wings by pulling the lever and controlling the plane。
This brain hole, which was completely contrary to the prevailing “absolute stability theory” at the time, became the core of the three-axis control system of the aircraft。
It is not enough to think, to go through the most authoritative aerodynamics in the world at that time, to actually be a glider, to find that what is made from the data of previous generations is not theoretically high。
Another person might suspect himself, turn around and follow the authority。
By contrast, they had built a six-foot-long wooden box and made the first practical mini-windhole in the world。
More than 200 wing models of different shapes were measured, tens of thousands of data sets were recorded, and the old aerodynamic parameters were completely overturned by the hard-breeders and re-exported themselves。
In those years, they were so full of brains that they couldn't even get married, that they had so much to do with repairing the garage and trying to fly。
On 17 december 1903, in kitihok, north carolina, the cold wind was freezing the ears, and only five lifeguards were present。
The two of them threw coins to decide who went first, and orville won, crawled into the driver's seat and started the 12 horsepower engine that he saved。
Everyone's staring at that weird-looking flying one, and it's walking around twice and really leaving the ground。
The flight lasted 12 seconds and a total of 36. 5 metres, which is shorter than the 100-metre acceleration distance of many domestic cars today。
But for the first time in human history, this short 12 seconds, we, the people who have been tied by gravity for millions of years, have finally reached the threshold of flight。
That day they flew four times in a row, the last time their brother wilbur flew for 59 seconds and 260 metres。
As a result, the land was just landed and a storm came and tore to pieces the flying one directly。
Even worse, almost all the mainstream media at the time called them liars and did not believe that two mechanics could do so much。
No one can stop the wheel of history。
In the following years, we changed our heads and went to france to do a public flight demonstration, swollen the face of all the questions, and became a hero to the whole world。
What's the most romantic thing
Sixty-six years later, in 1969, when armstrong stepped on the surface of the moon, he carried a small piece of wood and fabric that had been removed from that year's flying one。
From a bicycle hall full of oil, to the moon, 380,000 kilometres away, two ordinary people without diplomas, by their own hand, paved the way for mankind from the ground to the sea of stars。
You say many times that history is rewritten by someone who holds the most resources and has the most halo on his head, right
