The document discusses the history and design of rubber-powered airplanes. It describes how Bishop Milton Wright introduced the toy to his sons Wilbur and Orville in 1878, sparking their interest in flight. The basic parts of the rubber-powered airplane include a rubber motor, frame, and propeller. The simple design allowed engineers to test different wing configurations without building full-size planes. For 50 years, rubber-powered airplanes were a key research tool in aeronautics.

3. 1.History

4.  In 1878, Bishop Milton Wright brought this
toy home to his sons Wilbur (age 12) and
Orville (age 8) and started them dreaming of
flight.
 They were still making copies to delight
their nieces and nephews in 1903 just
before they made their first powered
flights in a real airplane.
 Here are a few failed attempts at flight.
You can see that Wilbur and Orville were
superior problem solvers.

15. 4. Advantage
 For the next 50 years, rubber-
powered (then called torsion-
powered) airplanes were a key
research tool for aerodynamic
engineers.
 It allowed them to test numerous
configurations of flying surfaces for
airworthiness without having to build
full-size airplanes.
