Mistigram: on this date 121 years ago, Orville Wright became the first person to ever make a sustained airplane flight (for 12 seconds at least) near #KittyHawk, North Carolina. AdeptApril has drawn this #ANSIart illustration of the #WrightFlyer in honour of the occasion.

It's December 17th, 🛩️ Wright Brothers Day – a day 🗽 America celebrates to honor its favorite sons, the Wright Brothers of Dayton, Ohio, for having invented, built, and flown the world’s first motor-operated airplane. On this day in 1903, with Wilbur running alongside their "Wright Flyer" to balance the fragile craft, Orville piloted the plane into the air for 12 seconds over a distance of 120 feet above the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. And the rest is history.

The Wright brothers became fascinated with flying when their father bought the children a toy 🚁 helicopter – a device based on an invention by French aeronautical pioneer Alphonse Pénaud. The children played with it until it broke and then built a new one of their own.

In August, 1896, German glider Otto Lilienthal plunged to his death during one of his gliding tests. This tragic accident impressed itself in the minds of the Wright brothers, who were young men now, and marked the beginning of their serious interest in motor-powered flight. After studying Lilienthal's publications on his gliding experiments, Orville and Wilber decided to pick up where Lilienthal left off and perfect a way to fly a motor-powered aircraft.

The brother’s experimentation with flying was quite simple, yet impressive. They observed the way 🦅 birds change the angle of their wings to make their bodies roll left or right and concluded that this would also be a great way for a flying machine to turn – just like a bird or a person riding a 🚴 bicycle.

After several weeks of delays caused by broken propeller shafts during the engine tests, the Wright brothers finally took to the air at 10:35 AM on December 17th, 1903. The historic moment was recorded in the famous 📸 photograph above. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

The Wright Flyer (also known as the Kitty Hawk, Flyer I or the 1903 Flyer) made the first sustained flight by a manned heavier-than-air powered and controlled aircraft—an airplane—on 17 December 1903. Invented and flown by Orville and Wilbur Wright, it marked the beginning of the pioneer era of aviation. #wrightbrothers #wrightbrothersmemorial #firstinflight #wrightflyer #ActionSports #WGAPIX #GrindstoneMG #aviationphotography #aviationhistory #killdevilhillsnc #ASPStock #ASPTravel (at Wright Brothers National Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmVN0E1jcy1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm still alive, I promise. :P Been struggling to find the motivation to draw, so I haven't gotten much done. Here's what I'm working on right now, Clarte from Another Eden. He's much harder to draw than I thought he would be. Enjoy!

De Wright Flyer replica op de rotonde Vosdonk-Vossendaal. De replica toont het eerste vliegtuig dat opsteeg in Nederland. Dat gebeurde in Etten-Leur in 1909. #ettenleur #gemeenteettenleur #wright #wrightflyer #vliegtuig #airplane #art #kunst #landmark

No big deal, just the first flying drone on another planet unloading itself from an autonomous Mars rover. Fun fact: the Wright brothers' airplane Flyer 1 began the era of powered flight when it flew in 1903. A tiny swatch of fabric from that airplane is now attached to the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars. Dude, like... I have no words, man. #ingenuity #ingenuitydrone #marshelicopter #fuckyeah #wrightflyer https://www.instagram.com/p/CNL7_nABYJb/?igshid=qufokw4wfimc
