  1. Air Plane Disasters

  2. The history of aircraft The Wright brothers watched lots of birds in flight. They looked at how they glided into the air. They noticed when they flew in the air, the wind that flowed over their wings created lift. They thought that in the next few years, they could design and make a glider that used the technique of the flying bird. In the next three years, they built gliders that would be flown in piloted flights and as kites. Orville and Wilbur
