Podcasts about Wright brothers

“If he is lost it will be the most universally regretted single loss we ever had. But that kid ain't going to fail.” This is the story of the high-fliers in early twentieth-century American aviation.  Wright brothers Orville and Wilbur stunned the nation and the world with their pioneering flight in 1903, and since then, aviation has spread its wings, so to speak. The Wright Brothers and other innovators like Glenn Curtiss are innovating and pushing the limit while the Great War takes aviation to new heights altogether.  But when the guns fall silent in Europe, the roar of its plane engines doesn't. Former doughboy pilots and an upcoming generation of postwar aviators have all sorts of uses for these aircraft: crop dusting, photography, high-flying “barnstorming” stunts, and, of course, mail delivery. And as planes get faster and flights get longer; as daring pilots like Charlie “Lucky Lindy” Lindbergh, Howard Hughes, and Amelia Earhart refuse to accept anything short of the “sky's the limit”; as postage and fine-dining passengers take to the skies; the United States will never the be the same. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Contnuing the visit to Los Angeles for the 2025 NAAM Annual Conference by talking with colleague Matt Anderson, Curator of Transportation at The Henry Ford Museum. The museum, founded by Henry Ford, holds a special place among museum fanatics. It is not only a car museum, but it sets out to preserve historical items, such as Abraham Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theater. The campous is also is home to Greenfield Village, where famous buildings, like the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop and most recently, the house Martin Luther King, Jr. stayed while he was in Selma, AL are preserved. Visit The Henry Ford at www.thehenryford.org. (You can hear the street by the "studio" in the background. This might be the most car-sounding "LeMayZing!" yet.)

Episode: 1357 An airplane propeller test facility, twelve years before the Wright Brothers.  Today, we test airplane propellers, 12 years before the Wright brothers flew.

Most people know about the Wright Brothers—Orville and Wilbur—who invented, built, and flew the first successful airplane in the early 1900s. But few know the name Katherine Wright. Yet in her brothers’ story of creating their flying machine, Katherine was essential to their success. While her brothers concentrated on the myriad details and experiments that led to their invention, Katherine chose to quietly and lovingly help them. She kept their bicycle shop going (the brothers’ source of income), left her teaching job to nurse Orville back to health after a plane crash, and managed the endless details of her brothers’ growing fame. The value of the support of others is seen in Scripture as well. One example is Phoebe, mentioned by Paul as a “benefactor of many people” (Romans 16:2). And Priscilla and Aquila, a helpful couple presented in Paul’s writing, hosted churches where Paul ministered and even “risked their lives” for him (v. 4). Additionally, the apostle complimented Mark, saying he was “helpful to me in my ministry” (2 Timothy 4:11). We can be the right brothers and sisters in Christ by serving others. The ongoing work of God needs helpers like Phoebe—and us, guided by Him to serve this way: “In humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but . . . to the interests of the others” (Philippians 2:3-4).

In this episode, you don't just learn about the Wright Brothers. You will also learn at least 20 phrasal verbs that are used in daily conversations and at work.

Wilbur and Orville Wright are the American inventors who made a small engine-powered flying machine. They proved that flight without the aid of gas-filled balloons was possible. 威尔伯（Wilbur）和奥维尔·赖特（Orville Wright）是美国发明家，他们制造了一台小型发动机飞行器。 他们证明，没有充满气体气球的飞行是可能的。 Wilbur Wright was born in 1867 near Melville, Indiana. His brother Orville was born four years later in Dayton, Ohio. 威尔伯·赖特（Wilbur Wright）于1867年出生在印第安纳州梅尔维尔（Melville）附近。 他的兄弟奥维尔（Orville）四年后出生在俄亥俄州代顿（Dayton）。 As they grew up, the Wright brothers experimented with mechanical things. Later, the Wright brothers began to design their own flying machine. They used ideas they had developed from earlier experiments with a toy helicopter, kites, the printing machine and bicycles. 随着他们的长大，赖特兄弟（Wright Brothers）试验了机械的东西。 后来，赖特兄弟开始设计自己的飞行器。 他们使用了他们从早期实验中开发的想法，其中包括玩具直升机，风筝，印刷机和自行车。 Soon, they needed a place to test their ideas about flight. The best place with the best wind conditions seemed to be a piece of sandy land in North Carolina along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It was called Kill Devil Hill, near the town of Kitty Hawk. 很快，他们需要一个地方来测试他们关于飞行的想法。 最好的风条件下最好的地方似乎是北卡罗来纳州沿着大西洋沿海的一块沙质土地。 它被称为凯蒂·霍克（Kitty Hawk）镇附近的Kill Devil Hill。 The Wright brothers did many tests with gliders at Kitty Hawk. With these tests, they learned how to solve many problems. 赖特兄弟（Wright Brothers）在凯蒂·霍克（Kitty Hawk）对滑翔机进行了许多测试。 通过这些测试，他们学会了如何解决许多问题。 By the autumn of 1903, Wilbur and Orville had designed and built an airplane powered by a gasoline engine. The plane had wings 12 meters across. It weighed about 340 kilograms, including the pilot. 到1903年秋天，威尔伯（Wilbur）和奥维尔（Orville）设计和制造了由汽油发动机提供动力的飞机。 飞机的翅膀有12米。 它重约340公斤，包括飞行员。 On December 17th, 1903, they made the world's first flight in a machine that was heavier than air and powered by an engine. Orville flew the plane 36 meters. He was in the air for 12 seconds. The two brothers made three more flights that day. 1903年12月17日，他们在一台比空气重并由发动机供电的机器中进行了世界第一架飞行。 奥维尔飞行了36米的飞机。 他在空中呆了12秒。 当天，两个兄弟又开了三个航班。 Four other men watched the Wright brothers' first flights. One of the men took pictures. Few newspapers, however, noted the event. 另外四个人看着赖特兄弟的第一批航班。 其中一个人拍照。 但是，很少有报纸指出该活动。 It was almost five years before the Wright brothers became famous. In 1908, Wilbur went to France. He gave demonstration flights at heights of 90 meters. A French company agreed to begin making the Wright brothers' flying machine. 赖特兄弟（Wright Brothers）出名已有将近五年的时间。 1908年，威尔伯去了法国。 他在90米的高处进行了示范航班。 一家法国公司同意开始制作赖特兄弟的飞行器。 Orville made successful flights in the United States at the time Wilbur was in France. The United States War Department agreed to buy a Wright brothers' plane. Wilbur and Orville suddenly became world heroes. But the brothers were not seeking fame. They returned to Dayton where they continued to improve their airplanes. They taught many others how to fly. 威尔伯（Wilbur）在法国，奥尔维尔（Orville）在美国取得了成功的航班。 美国战争部同意购买赖特兄弟的飞机。 威尔伯（Wilbur）和奥维尔（Orville）突然成为世界英雄。 但是兄弟俩并不是在寻求名望。 他们回到代顿，在那里他们继续改善飞机。 他们教了许多其他方法。 Wilbur Wright died of typhoid fever in 1912. Orville Wright continued designing and inventing until he died many years later, in 1948. 威尔伯·赖特（Wilbur Wright）于1912年因伤寒而去世。 Today, the Wright brothers' first airplane is in the Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Visitors to the museum can look at the Wright brothers' small plane. Then they can walk to another area and see space vehicles and a rock collected from the moon. The world has changed a lot since Wilbur and Orville Wright began the modern age of flight over one hundred years ago. 今天，赖特兄弟（Wright Brothers）的第一架飞机位于华盛顿特区的空中博物馆中。博物馆的游客可以看一下赖特兄弟的小型飞机。 然后，他们可以步行到另一个区域，看到太空车辆和从月球收集的岩石。 自威尔伯（Wilbur）和奥维尔·赖特（Orville Wright）一百多年前开始现代飞行以来，世界发生了很大变化。

Before the Wright Brothers made their historic flight at Kitty Hawk in December 1903, other air enthusiasts had tried to find the answer to powered, controlled human flight. And once Wilbur and Orville succeeded, many budding aviators flocked to the skies by building on their technology. Soon, despite their best efforts, the Wright Brothers would find it was nearly impossible to maintain a grip on the emerging aviation industry. Today, Lindsay is joined by historian and author Lawrence Goldstone. He's the author of Birdmen: The Wright Brothers, Glenn Curtiss, and the Battle to Control the Skies.

The two men conquered human flight, but the Wright brothers’ journey to success was never easy. Despite countless failures, ridicule, money woes, and serious injury to one of them, the brothers weren’t stopped by the trials they faced. As Orville Wright observed, “No bird soars in a calm.” The idea, according to biographer David McCullough, means that adversity can “often be exactly what you need to give you a lift higher.” Said McCullough, “Their joy was not getting to the top of the mountain. Their joy was climbing the mountain.” The apostle Peter taught a similar spiritual principle to the persecuted early church. He told them, “Do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you” (1 Peter 4:12). This wasn’t a denial of suffering’s pain. Peter knew that hope in Christ grows our trust in God. This is especially true when we suffer for being a believer in Jesus, as those early Christians did. Peter wrote to them, “Rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed” (v. 13). He went on, “If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you” (v. 14). As the Wright Brothers’ character was hailed by their biographer, may others see God’s loving character at work in us. He uses our adversity to raise us to new heights.

In the summer of 1908, Wilbur Wright amazed crowds in France with his aerobatic flying demonstrations, and Orville made daring flights at a U.S. Army base in Virginia. The press in Europe and America raved and skeptics were silenced. But then, on September 17th, a horrific crash in Virginia left one man dead and Orville seriously wounded, threatening to destroy everything the Wright brothers had built.Order your copy of the new American History Tellers book, The Hidden History of the White House, for behind-the-scenes stories of some of the most dramatic events in American history—set right inside the house where it happened.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

By 1903, inventors and adventurers in Britain and France were launching their own experimental aircraft skyward. In the U.S., crowds gathered outside Washington, D.C. to see Samuel Langley of the Smithsonian Institution test his highly-anticipated “aerodrome”, only to watch the machine crash in the Potomac River. But on December 17th, 1903, on the sand dunes of North Carolina's Outer Banks, Wilbur Wright climbed onto the lower wing of his homemade “Flyer” to make history.Order your copy of the new American History Tellers book, The Hidden History of the White House, for behind-the-scenes stories of some of the most dramatic events in American history—set right inside the house where it happened.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

The annual AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas has long been a marquee event for technologists and business leaders. But in 2024, it served as a rallying cry for a new technological epoch - one where generative AI (GenAI) is no longer a nascent tool but a transformative force shaping industries, economies, and creativity. At the heart of this year's address was Dr. Swami Sivasubramanian, AWS's Vice President of AI and Data, who positioned Amazon's cloud division not just as a vendor but as an architect of this revolution. Dr. Sivasubramanian began with a historical overture, likening the current moment to the Wright Brothers' first flight in 1903. That 12-second triumph, he noted, was not an isolated miracle but the result of centuries of cumulative innovation - from Leonardo da Vinci's aeronautical sketches to steam-powered gliders. In the same vein, GenAI represents the culmination of decades of research in neural networks, backpropagation algorithms, and the transformative power of Transformer architectures. However, technological breakthroughs alone were not enough. What set the stage for GenAI's explosive growth, Dr. Sivasubramanian argued, was the convergence of cloud computing, vast data lakes, and affordable machine-learning infrastructure - elements AWS has spent the better part of two decades perfecting. AWS SageMaker: The Vanguard of AI Democratization Central to AWS's GenAI arsenal is Amazon SageMaker, a comprehensive platform designed to simplify machine learning workflows. Over the past year, AWS has added more than 140 features to SageMaker, underscoring its ambition to stay ahead in the arms race of AI development. Among these innovations is SageMaker HyperPod, which provides robust tools for training the mammoth foundational models that underpin GenAI. HyperPod automates complex tasks like checkpointing, resource recovery, and distributed training, enabling enterprises like Salesforce and Thomson Reuters to train billion-parameter models without the logistical headaches. But SageMaker is evolving beyond its core machine-learning roots into a unified platform for data analytics, big data processing, and GenAI workflows. The platform's latest iteration consolidates disparate tools into a single, user-friendly interface, offering businesses an integrated suite for data preparation, model development, and deployment. Training Titans: HyperPod and Bedrock As GenAI models grow in size and sophistication, the cost and complexity of training them have skyrocketed. Dr. Sivasubramanian introduced two pivotal innovations aimed at alleviating these challenges. First, HyperPod Flexible Training Plans address the inefficiencies of securing and managing compute resources for training large models. By automating the reservation of EC2 capacity and distributing workloads intelligently, these plans reduce downtime and optimize costs. Second, Bedrock, AWS's managed service for deploying foundational models, makes it easier for developers to select, customize, and optimize GenAI models. Bedrock offers cutting-edge features like Prompt Caching - a cost-saving tool that reduces latency by storing frequently used queries - and Intelligent Prompt Routing, which directs tasks to the most cost-effective model without sacrificing quality. Case Studies in Innovation Throughout his keynote, Dr. Sivasubramanian showcased real-world applications of AWS's GenAI capabilities. Autodesk, the software titan renowned for its design and engineering tools, is leveraging SageMaker to develop GenAI models that combine spatial reasoning with physics-based design principles. These models allow architects to create structurally sound and manufacturable 3D designs, effectively automating tedious aspects of the creative process. Meanwhile, Rocket Companies, a leader in mortgage lending, has deployed Amazon Bedrock to create AI agents that handle 70% of customer interactions autonomously. These agents, embedded in Rocket's AI-driven platform, streamli...

In the late-1890s, two brothers from Ohio, Wilbur and Orville Wright, became obsessed with what Wilbur described as “the problem of flight.” With no formal training or funding, they threw themselves into studying the mechanics of birds, determined to design a new method of flying for humans. They soon began building a glider in the small workshop above their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio.It wasn't long before the Wright brothers would travel to North Carolina's Outer Banks to test their glider. Facing swarming mosquitoes and biting winds, they would risk their lives in their quest to be the first pilots to the sky.

On December 17, 1903 the Wright Brothers changed history with the first successful powered flight.

Cartoonist & historian Eddie Campbell returns to the show with his fantastic new book, KATE CAREW: America's First Great Woman Cartoonist (Fantagraphics Underground), which explores turn-of-the-(20th)-century artist, cartoonist, illustrator, caricaturist, interviewer & journalist Kate Carew. We get into how Eddie discovered Kate's work while researching The Goat-Getters, how Kate wound up interviewing the likes of Mark Twain, Picasso, the Wright Brothers, and other celebs (& non-celebs) of her time, how her self-caricatures serve as a sorta graphic autobiography (and precursor to the whole world of graphic memoir storytelling), her support of women's suffrage, and how I accidentally semi-sorta inspired Eddie to make this book. We also talk about how Kate's story evades sentimentality, how Eddie & Audrey Niffenegger formed the Digital Art Burglars firm™, what he's learned from exploring the early history of American cartooning, why his next book is about the Midwest school of cartooning, how he wound up writing the comics histories he wanted to read, and why he had to pull a page from this book due to a complaint from the printer. Plus we discuss his new graphic novel about how he met Audrey, how his comic strip of the Pajama Girl, a murder victim in Sydney, led to him working with Alan Moore on From Hell, his life-lessons about making every pitch & taking every job that was offered, and why Kate Carew was such an enormous outlier in the world of cartooning.

Tracey Curtis-Taylor, (on the cover of the Winter OQ) is an adventurous aviator, who has retraced some of the most epic routes in flying history, from Capetown to London across the length of Africa, retracing Lady Heath's journey in 1928, and another from England to Australia, flying the same route as Amy Johnson in 1930. She now flies a 1940 Boeing Steerman, and joins the Commemorative Air Force in Camarillo in their events. Curtis-Taylor has created an educational program designed to get more women into flying, as the industry faces a dire pilot shortage and, with fewer than 5 percent of airline pilots as women, they need recruits. She wrote the book, "Bird," about her epic exploits. She is now based in Ojai. We talked about the Golden Age of Aviation, when the best engineers and pilots moved from the Wright Brothers' short hops to the first jet engines and breaking the sound barrier in 1947, an incredible period of progress and energy. She also talked about navigating the boys club of pilots, her crash landing, her upbringing between England and Canada, and much more. We did not talk about Keep Sespe Wild, Jeremy Saulnier films, or the "Magic Art of Tidying." You can learn more about Tracey from her website, BirdinaBiPlane.com

Did you know Ben Franklin witnessed the first human flight? No, he wasn't with the Wright Brothers in Kitty Hawk. In fact, it was 120 years earlier in 1783 when two aeronauts floated over Paris in a hot air balloon. Franklin described watching the balloon's majestic ascent in his journal.In the early days of ballooning, experiments with balloon fuels and designs occasionally had catastrophic results. Since then, the safety of flying a balloon has come a long way. Today, ballooning is one of the safest and most beautiful modes of human flight for aeronauts, passengers and people on the ground.In this episode, you'll hear from Kim and Adam Magee, founders of The Balloon Training Academy and FAA Safety Team representatives. The Magees share how they got started in ballooning, the training process for balloon pilots (who are known as aeronauts) and advice for aspiring aeronauts.Learn how aeronauts communicate with their ground crew and other users of the national airspace, and about the technologies and tricks balloonists use to track wind patterns. Get a glimpse into the vibrant culture of ballooning, from creatively shaped balloons to unforgettable events with spectacular traditions—like the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta where over 500 hot air balloons traverse the skies above New Mexico.Ballooning can be both safe and exciting. The FAA has rules for student, private and commercial aeronauts that help keep everyone safe. We require commercial aeronauts to hold medical certificates when flying paying passengers and work with the Balloon Federation of America on an accreditation program.  If you're interested in learning more, go to FAASafety.gov and contact the Balloon Federation of America.   Meet Our Guests  Adam and Kimberly Magee are the Co-Founders of The Balloon Training Academy and FAA Safety Team Representatives. Adam, the Academy's President, is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Designated Pilot Examiner, the 2019 FAA Flight Instructor of the Year, and the 2021 FAA Safety Team Representative of the Year. Kimberly, the Academy's Vice President, holds 6 World Records and 9 National Records in hot air ballooning. She is the recipient of the Balloon Federation of America's Shields-Trauger Award, the organization's highest honor.

Full Video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/QePqq2LRRfcImagine a time before airplanes, before the Wright Brothers made history, and before Roswell became synonymous with UFOs. Now, picture the skies of 1897, where mysterious lights and eerie, cigar-shaped airships haunted the night, captivating the imaginations of thousands. Across America, from California to Chicago, reports flooded in of strange, seemingly impossible flying machines, stirring fear, wonder, and the inevitable question: what on earth—or beyond—were they? In this episode, we unravel the truth behind the bizarre wave of UFO sightings that gripped the nation decades before the world had even heard of flying saucers. Could this be America's earliest brush with extraterrestrial visitors, or was something else at play? Buckle up, because this is a tale of mystery, imagination, and the power of belief that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about the history of UFOs.References:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_airship#The_airship_wave_of_1896-1897https://daily.jstor.org/phantom-flying-machines/https://history.nebraska.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/doc_publications_NH1979UFOs.pdfhttps://cdn.centerforinquiry.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/1990/01/22165233/p71.pdf We've Got A New YouTube Channel - Watch, listen and most definitely subscribe and share!

Have you ever dreamt of flying? This dream is quite common. Humans have always been fascinated by the skies, and our quest to conquer them dates back to the Spain of Al-Ándalus. Amazing, isn't it? In the 9th century, the Andalusian scientist Abbás Ibn Firnás decided he wanted to fly. After a few crashes, he created a prototype that was able to glide for a few seconds. Interestingly, this device also became the world's first parachute when he attempted to land. Fast forward to the past century, the Wright Brothers made history by creating the first airplane. With this achievement, the aviation industry took off, leading to the creation of the first airports. Today, airports have become global hubs, connecting the world through the skies. This transformation has been driven by continuous innovation and adaptation to meet new user needs and security requirements. Our colleagues from Ferrovial's Airports subsidiary, Víctor Vicente, Asset Manager; Laura López Sotomayor, Financial Director; and Ismael Ordoñez, Head of Asset Management, share insights on how airports have evolved into the infrastructures we know today. Furthermore, what can we expect from the future of aviation? Tune in to this episode and join us in a guessing game about how the horizon might look the next time we take a plane. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we explore the fascinating concept that ideas are not entirely our own until we bring them to life. Ever had an idea, but put it off, only to see someone else act on it later? Today, I share why that happens and how ideas are constantly floating around in the universe, waiting for the right person to bring them into existence. We'll discuss why it's crucial not to wait to act on your ideas, as they're not solely yours—they're gifts from the universe, meant to be shared. Drawing inspiration from historical figures like the Wright Brothers and Alexander Graham Bell, we dive into how great minds tapped into the same creative source to achieve breakthrough innovations. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or creative thinker, ideas come to those who are “tuned in.” You don't need to be special, but you do need to stay open and ready to receive them. I also share personal stories about how acting on ideas has been a game-changer in my life and business. We cover practical steps for attracting ideas, from practicing gratitude to spending time in nature, and even embracing boredom. You'll learn how to nurture these ideas through journaling, active listening, and surrounding yourself with inspiring people. The magic happens when you act on those ideas. Let this episode inspire you to become a vessel for bringing new, life-changing concepts into the world. If you found today's discussion valuable, I encourage you to stay open to receiving your own ideas this week. Write them down, nurture them, and take action! If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to rate and review the podcast. Your feedback helps me reach more listeners and spread the message of positivity and abundance.

If the Wright Brothers could have used AI to guide their decision making, it's almost certain they would never have gotten off the ground. That's because, points out Teppo Felin of Utah State University and Oxford, all the evidence said human flight was impossible. So how and why did the Wrights persevere? Felin explains that the human ability to ignore existing data and evidence is not only our Achilles heel, but also one of our superpowers. Topics include the problems inherent in modeling our brains after computers, and the value of not only data-driven prediction, but also belief-driven experimentation.
