The Wright brothers set out to solve the “flying problem” for the world. They not only gave the world the “technology of flight” (as they called it) that we use today but also did what men and women had only dreamed of doing for centuries—they flew! ✈️ What made it possible?👇 Turns out working against gravity isn’t easy! 🙇‍♀️ Governments were losing billions of dollars and the leaders of the aviation industry were failing. 😭 The world leader in glider flight, Otto Lilienthal, died when his glider plunged to the ground.
