Wilbur Wright, US aviation pioneer
Wilbur Wright (1867-1912), American aviation pioneer. Wilbur and his brother Orville ran a small bicycle factory in Dayton, Ohio. They became interested in flight and were inspired by the German glider, Otto Lilienthal. The Wrights began their own experiments, using basic wind tunnels to study aerofoil shapes and designed wing warping as a means of control, emulating the way birds control their flight. They even designed and built their own light-weight engine. On 17 December 1903 at 10.23 am, their powered aircraft, the Wright Flyer, made its first flight with Orville at the controls. The era of aviation was born

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Wilbur Wright, an American aviation pioneer who revolutionized the world with his groundbreaking inventions. Born in 1867, Wilbur and his brother Orville embarked on a remarkable journey from running a small bicycle factory in Dayton, Ohio to becoming icons of flight. Inspired by German glider Otto Lilienthal, the Wright brothers delved into their own experiments that would change history forever. Using basic wind tunnels to study aerofoil shapes and designing wing warping as a means of control, they emulated the graceful movements of birds during flight. Their relentless pursuit even led them to create their very own lightweight engine. On that momentous day - December 17th, 1903 at 10:23 am - their dreams took flight as the Wright Flyer soared through the skies with Orville at its helm. This marked not only the birth of powered aircraft but also ushered in a new era for humanity - one where we could conquer the boundless expanse above us. Wilbur's autograph graces this monochrome image, serving as a testament to his indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication towards pushing boundaries. As an aviator and inventor extraordinaire, he left an indelible mark on history while paving the way for future generations to soar higher than ever before. This print is more than just an artistic masterpiece; it encapsulates Wilbur Wright's legacy as he etched himself into our collective memory as one
