https://www.youtube.com/user/WrightStateU Wright Brothers Day at Wright State celebrated the 113th anniversary of Wilbur Wright’s 39-minute flight on Huffman Prairie on Oct. 5, 1905. The flight demonstrated that the Wright brothers had advanced their design to the point of a practical airplane. “It was kind of an defining moment for what they’ve been doing with their airplane innovation,” said Samantha Andrus, a senior marketing major and president of Wright State University’s American Marketing Association. The event featured displays highlighting innovative projects from Wright State researchers and local organizations. This was the eighth year for the event. It was held in the Student Union Atrium and was organized by the American Marketing Association, a student organization in the Raj Soin College of Business.

Wright Brothers Day celebrated the 111th anniversary of Wilbur Wright’s 39-minute flight on Huffman Prairie on Oct. 5, 1905. The flight demonstrated that the Wright brothers had advanced their design to the point of a practical airplane. “It’s a fun way to gather Wright State students and the general public to honor the Wright brothers’ legendary venture into flight,” said Aleasiah Howard, a junior marketing major and president of the marketing association. The event also featured displays highlighting innovative projects from Wright State researchers and local organizations. This was the sixth year for the event. It was held in the Student Union Atrium and was organized by the American Marketing Association of Wright State University.

Let’s begin in the Early Years Gallery near the Wright Bicycle. In 1893, Dayton residents Wilbur and Orville Wright opened up the first of their several bicycle shops. Three years later they began building bicycles of their own design. Their successful bicycle business funded flight experiments, and it expanded their knowledge of building machines. The Wright brothers read everything on flying they could obtain, even though most of the material then available was based only on theory. The two brothers first worked with kites and gliders, and in the summer of 1903, they built a 40-foot, 4-inch span airplane that incorporated all their aerodynamic knowledge and incorporated the theories and ideas of German glider Otto Lilienthal. On December 17, 1903, Orville made the first successful powered, heavier-than-air flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. During 1904 and 1905, the Wrights continued researching the mysteries of flight at Huffman Prairie, which is now part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
