I second Chunk. It proves that the Wrights had a good reason to select Kitty Hawk over other locations.shamrock said:I think the idea was to recreate the original flight using the same technology the Wright brothers had available, not to do "better".
I agree with Chunk, it shows how amazing a feat it was 100 years ago.
avbug said:It wasn't the exact airplane, actually. The original airplane doesn't exist, as it was flown at Kill Devil Hills. That airplane was heavily modified by Wilbur at a later date. The exact nuances of the airplane that flew 100 years ago is a mystery. Drawings are available in rudimentary form of later Flyers, but not the 1903 in it's form at the time.
