Aviation & Avionics, Thursday September 25, Period 2
It might look like the class had a subsitute, despite the fact that the woman at the front of the room was wearing a very familiar brown leather jacket.
"Don't ask," he muttered once the students were settled. "Let's just focus on class, alright?"
And no that wasn't him muttering as he started scrawling on the chalkboard. Might not look like Murdock, but the handwriting was exactly the same.
"The reason I didn't cover the Wright Brothers last week is because I planned to include them today. Didn't want make things to redundant for y'all."
"Of course history was made on December 17, 1903 when Orville Wright flew 120 feet at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The thing that makes this attempt stand out more than any of their predecessors is that they made the first successful controlled flight of a powered aircraft. Before them, the previous attempts by early inventors were gliding only, completely unpowered except by the wind, or launch-assisted powered craft. The Wright Brothers were the first to have a successful flight of a piloted, powered aircraft that took off with nothing more than its own power. They were also able to sustain that flight, and land, without mishap. That is why they are credited as being the first men to fly."
"After the Wrights' success, many entrepreneurs jumped on the bandwagon, eager to conquer the skies. Of course, there were many failures, and some of the more distinctive ones we'll be covering later this semester, but we're going to look at those which had the greatest impact on the early development of flight."
