Space Looking backwards to move forwards, NASA have recreated the plane the Wright Brothers used in the first recorded flight, hoping to answer the immortal question, "How did that thing get off the ground?"
"Rediscovering the secrets of the Wright brothers to inspire a new generation is what motivates The Wright Experience," said Hyde. "Our journey will continue through December 17 this year with the flight of this 1903 Wright Flyer reproduction at Kitty Hawk. These wind tunnel tests will help us recreate the Wrights' historic accomplishment and reduce the risk involved in the replica flight later this year," he said.
Results will be released shortly.
