The Wright brothers - Tries

Time: Friday Sep 19, 1902

Place: Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, U.S.

Details: From September 19 to October 24 they made between 700 and 1,000 glides, the longest lasting 26 seconds and covering 622.5 feet (189.7 m). Hundreds of well-controlled glides after they made the rudder steerable convinced them they were ready to build a powered flying machine.
