Wright
State University is named for Wilbur and Orville Wright, printers and bicycle makers from Dayton, Ohio, whose curiosity about flight led to the research and development that culminated in the building of the 1903 Flyer.
The original Flyer was constructed of spruce and powered by a four-cylinder gasoline engine, built by Wright mechanic Charles Taylor Wing surfaces were covered in Pride of West muslin. The development of the engine, sewing of the wings, making of the propellers, and general construction of the frame were all completed in Dayton. The parts were shipped from Dayton to Kitty Hawk and assembled there. The first successful flight lasted 12 seconds and covered a distance of 120feet.
This full-scale replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer was conceived and built by a dedicated group of volunteer model makers, mechanics, engineers, woodworkers and seamstresses under the leadership of Howard R. DuFore. The replica is constructed of basswood rather than spruce. Muslin again covers the wings and all metal parts were custom-made from drawings of the originals. The propellers were constructed and donated by Hartzell Propeller. The engine is a mock-up of the original and made by larry DuFour. The accuracy of construction or tolerances are to within. .010+_of an inch. The specifications of the 1903 Wright Flyer Replica match those of the original, with the exception of the overall weight of the machine. The replica weight 550Lbs. Due to the difference in the weight of the engine and its auxiliary parts.
The Wright 1903 Flyer Replica is dedicated the Wilkinson “Wick” Wright ,great nephew of the Wright brothers and generous friend and supporter of the Wright State University Libraries. It is also a tribute to the volunteers who donated their skill and time to create the Flyer and encourage the spirit of invention in each of us.
The 1903 Wright Flyer Replica was funded by the Wright State University Foundation .)
关于The Wright Brothers Collection：“The Wright Brothers Collection at Wright State University is one of the most complements records of lives and work of WILBUR AND Orville Wright, and it complements the collection held by the Library of Congress. Housed in Special Collections and archives in the Paul Laurence Dunbar Library, the collection contains over 6000 items including more than 200 technical books, journals, and pamphlets accumulated by the Wright brothers, and more than 500 items related to their research, business, and legal endeavors. It also consisted of the papers and diaries of Bishop Milton Wright (father to Wilbur and Orville)and more than 1000 genealogical items gathered by Bishop Wright and Orville Wright. The nearly 4000 photographs documenting the invention of powered flight and the lives of the Wright family are an especially rich aspect of the Wright Brothers Collection.”
