The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were two of seven children born in the late 1860s and early 1870s. They were independent thinkers and experimenters who taught themselves about aeronautics and aviation through building kites and bicycles. In 1903, the brothers achieved the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, flying 120 feet in 12 seconds near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Over subsequent years, they continued developing their aircraft and techniques, conducting the world's first public demonstrations of flying machines and establishing the Wright Company.
Wright Brothers History |short ver.| by.. [Mikee & CO]guestea7b8
The Wright brothers were American inventors and aviation pioneers. Wilbur Wright was born in 1867 and Orville Wright in 1871 in Dayton, Ohio. Inspired by early aviation experiments and toys as children, they began experimenting with gliders in the late 1890s and achieved controlled, powered flight in 1903, making them the first to make a successful airplane. They patented their design and founded the Wright Company but had ongoing patent disputes. Wilbur died in 1912 from typhoid fever at age 45. Orville died in 1948 after witnessing the dawn of supersonic flight.
The Wright brothers were interested in flight from a young age after their father gave them a toy helicopter. They began experimenting with gliders to understand wing design and aerodynamics. Wilbur and Orville built a wind tunnel to study how air flows over wings. In 1903, they successfully tested their motor-powered airplane, called the Flyer, achieving the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight. Their achievement at Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1903 marked a major breakthrough in aviation history.

“History of Aviation the Wright Brothers”
Claim: Wright Brothers started the history of aviation.
Reasons:
· Bishop Wright one day brought Wilburn and Orville Wright a small toy helicopter that was made up of wood and two curled rubber bands as a small propeller. Both the brothers played with it until it broke. After that, they made new copies of toys themselves. They also sold their toys to their friends. So it developed an interest of flying in them.
· Wright Brothers started the printing business in 1889 together but after 3 years they started the business of bicycle. They started selling repaired bikes initially. They establish their own brand in 1896. By working on bikes Wright Brothers generated an idea of flight.
· They used the technology about which they got knowledge from bicycles on airplanes.
· That technology included spoke wires, sprockets, chains, and ball bearings. From bicycles they learned to balance and control their aircraft.
· Orville and Wilburn Wright performed different experiments to fulfill their dream of inventing an aircraft.
· They also learned different techniques to control aircraft such as they realized the need of 3 axes of motions.
· Orville and Wilbur got this idea from the flying bird. They saw the birds twisting and curving their wings.
· They also performed Kite/glider Experiments.
· In 1899 the Wright Brothers began their research on aeronautical research. They used to test their notions of aircraft with a small kite having a five-foot wingspan. They built a machine in 1900 that carry a pilot in it.
· Their 1900 aircraft was not that successful so they flew it as a kite and collected information to improve the functioning of their machine.
Assumptions:
· Innovators made several assumptions about the development of flight. Since all the animals that fly have wings so innovators though of developing strap on wings. To test their assumption they would have to jump from the tall building.
· Some other innovators built flying machines and took years to build costly prototypes. All of them failed during the testing process.
· The modern innovators can learn from the approaches adopted by Wright Brothers.
· The Wright Brothers were flawless experimenters.
· They adopted simple and low-risk ways to test their assumptions.
· Wright Brother flew kites to test their assumptions.
· The Innosight advised a big consumer product company to deliver a device to centralized points on campuses.
· The business plans were assumed to take 3 months to get approval to sell their devices at school. They could pilot the idea at dew schools. But school slowly processes that approval because they assumed to approach it differently.
Backing:
· As Wright Brothers started their aeronautical research in 1899, the first aircraft they flew was a kite.
· Their first experiment did not produce less lift than expected. They tested small wing model to simulate fl ...
The document summarizes important developments in human flight from 200 BC to 1920 AD. It describes early legends of people attempting to fly using improvised wings, including the story of Daedalus and Icarus. Notable pioneers who experimented with gliders are mentioned, including the Wright Brothers who achieved the first successful motor-operated flight in 1903. The development of hot air balloons and kites are also discussed. Military aviation progressed during World War 1, and the first commercial passenger flight took place between London and Paris in 1919.
The Wright brothers were early aviation pioneers who conducted experimentation and flight testing that led to the invention of the airplane. In 1903, Orville Wright piloted the Wright Flyer I on the first successful controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, traveling 120 feet in 12 seconds near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Through continued development and testing of gliders and powered aircraft from 1900 to 1905, the Wright brothers solved control problems and demonstrated sustained and controlled circular flights, laying the foundation for modern aviation.
The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Oliver Wright, invented the world's first successful airplane in December 17th, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. They built and flew the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, gaining substantial control over the aircraft. The Wright brothers' invention of the airplane helped connect continents and allow humans to see the world from a new perspective.
- The document traces the history of human flight from ancient myths of Icarus and Garuda to early attempts with balloons and gliders. Key developments include the Montgolfier brothers' hot air balloon in 1783, the Wright brothers' first powered flight in 1903 in Kitty Hawk, and J.R.D. Tata founding Tata Airlines (now Air India) in 1932, bringing passenger flight to India. The document describes how aircraft have advanced incredibly since the early 1900s, allowing for supersonic flight, modern passenger jets, and military aircraft. It briefly explains the principles of lift, thrust, and drag that allow for heavier-than-air flight.
- The document traces the history of human flight from early myths and attempts to modern passenger jets. It describes key innovations like the hot air balloon (1783), glider designs by Leonardo da Vinci, and the first powered flight by the Wright Brothers in 1903.
- It then discusses the development of airships and planes in the early 20th century. Commercial aviation began in India in 1932 when JRD Tata flew a mail flight from Karachi to Bombay, founding Tata Airlines which is now Air India.
- Modern jet aircraft can carry over 100 passengers at twice the speed of sound across oceans in just a few hours, transporting people and cargo all over the world.
The Wright brothers were bicycle makers from Ohio who became the first to achieve sustained, controlled, powered flight. In the early 1900s, they conducted extensive glider experiments which led them to discover flaws in existing data on lift. On December 17, 1903 near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the Wright brothers made four controlled, powered flights with their Flyer aircraft, with Orville achieving the first flight of 120 feet. Their achievement represented the culmination of years of experimentation and was the realization of human flight.
Aviation has existed for over 2000 years, with ideas for flying vehicles dating back to ancient times, though the Wright brothers achieved the first successful powered flight in 1903. Aviation encompasses all flying vehicles including airplanes, helicopters, blimps and airships. While early airships used flammable hydrogen for lift, they now primarily use inert helium due to safety issues like the 1937 Hindenburg disaster. The introduction of jet engines in the postwar era increased aircraft efficiency and led to modern commercial aviation dominated by Boeing and Airbus.
A PPT material about the first attempts to fly and the history of aviation made by a student involved in the Comenius multilateral partnership “From Icarus to Interplanetary Travels”
The Wright Brothers - Orville and Wilbur Wright - were the first to achieve sustained, powered and controlled flight, making a flight lasting over an hour on December 17, 1903 in Dayton, Ohio. They invented a system of wing-warping for "three axis control" that allowed the pilot to steer the aircraft using a control system. After being accused of lying by the French press in 1906, the Wright Brothers proved their critics wrong by flying their aircraft in France, gaining an apology in the newspaper.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
