Den første motoriserte flyging ble foretatt i dag for 118 år siden - AIN

 

118 years and counting. Today marks the 118th anniversary of the first manned, powered aircraft flight—by the Wright Flyer piloted by Orville Wright at Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. The airplane stayed aloft for only 12 seconds and flew just 120 feet, but what the Wright Brothers achieved paved the way for modern flying machines that can link cities on opposite sides of the globe nonstop. So thanks to the Wright Brothers for giving us the wonder of powered flight! (Photo: John T. Daniels, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons)
