When I was reading dawn over kitty hawk, one of the main things that I loved about this book, is how it had so much detail of the work the Wright brothers put into the aircraft they had built. the book gave a lot of examples and steps they had to take, and also the complications they had run into. one of the reasons I like this book so much is because it talked a lot about aviation, and how the Wright brothers along with some other people started it all, thanks to these men we have our commercial air crafts, jet fighters, and other air crafts that are being used today all over the world. to just simply say that the Wright Brothers invented the airplane doesn't begin to describe their many accomplishments. Nor is it especially accurate. They had built many other inventions like the first fixed-wing aircraft, a kite mounted on a stick, was conceived and flown almost a century before Orville and Wilbur made their first flights. The Wrights were first to design and build a flying craft that could be controlled while in the air. Every successful aircraft ever built since, beginning with the 1902 Wright glider, has had controls to roll the wings right or left, pitch the nose up or down, and yaw the nose from side to side. These three controls the roll, pitch, and yaw, let a pilot navigate an airplane in all three dimensions, making it possible to fly from place to place. The entire aerospace business, the largest industry in the world, depends on this simple but brilliant idea. So do spacecraft, submarines, even robots.
