Information Report - Wright Flyer

Wright Flyer

Introduction

The Wright Flyer plan was the first successful heavier than-air powered aircraft to fly. Its first flight was on December 17, 1903. There were other names like the Flyer 1 and the 1903 Flyer. It’s last flight was on December 17 , 1903.

Who built it?

The Wright Flyer was designed and constructed by the Wright Brothers Wilbur and Orville who were to American Brothers inventors, and aviation pioneers. Orville was the oldest out of both of them which he was born in August, 9 , 1871 in Dayton  Ohio and his brother Wilbur the youngest one was born in April, 16, 1867.

Design

The Wright Brothers Wilbur and Orville built the aircraft in 1903 using giant spruce wood. The wings were made with a 1-in-20 camber. They chose their employee Charlie Taylor to build a new design from scratch, effectively not skilfully made gasoline engine. They used a sprocket chain drive from a bicycle that powered the twin propellers.

The length of the Wright Flyer was 21 feet (6 m) 1 in (6.43 m).

The wingspan of the plane was 40 feet (12 m) 4 in (12.31 m).

The height of the Wright Flyer was 9 feet (3 m) 0 in (2.74 m).

The maximum speed of the plane was 30 mph (48 km an hour). The total distance the wright flyer plane has made was 1,500 feet (0.45km).6

Parts of the aircraft

The rudders are at the back of the Wright Flyer plane. It changes the Yaw. It moves side to side. The rudders are moved surfaces which are controlled by the pilot.The propellers are at the back of the plane as well next to the rudder. The propeller generates thrust. The wing tips are warp to change Roll. It rotates the body of the plane. The propellers of the Wright Flyer plane are long, thin  twisted pieces of wood which spins. These are propellers are at the back of the plane next to the ruddera.The motor(gasoline engine) Drives the propellers. The motor is on one wings which is on the wing at the bottom. The elevators are at the front connected the the Fuselage (body). It changes the pitch which goes up and down.The elevators are a pair of movable wings which are controlled by the pilot.The Fuselage (Body) is at the front of the aircraft connected to the elevator. It Hold things together. It carries the payload as well. The wings of the wright flyer generates lift to make the aircraft go up.

Events - Flight

The wright brothers flew the wright flyer plane 4 times at Kitty Hawk, North California on December 17, 1903. Wilbur's first flight at Kitty Hawk lasted 12 seconds for a total distance of 120 feet (36.5 m). The wright brothers both took turns flying and made a little low altitude flights that day at Kitty Hawk. The last flight at Kitty Hawk was by Wilbur and he went 825 feet high (260 m) in 59 seconds which is much longer than each of the previous flights of 120, 175 and 200 feet high.

L.I: To write an information report / explanation about your Flight self inquiry task.

This week for writing we had to either write a information report or a explanation about our bird , plane or rocket we choose for inquiry. I did a plane and it is called the Wright Flyer. It was designed and constructed by the Wright Brothers Wilbur and Orville. I learnt a lot about the Wright Flyer's plane. It was a bit difficult to right my information report but lucky I had my planning that I did that helped me. I think for next time I should write an explanation text of the Wright Flyer's plane.

Planning a Report Writing Frame - Wright Flyer - Wright Brothers Wilbur and Orville

Today for reading we had to either plan a information report , narrative or a explanation text about our plane we choose for Inquiry. I did the information report and my plane was the Wright Flyer plane. I had really fun doing this. I was a bit struggling on thinking what to put on my plan but I stall managed to get it done (yey). I learnt a lot of information the Wright Flyer's plan and who build it which is the Wright Brothers Wilbur and Orville. I think for next time I should plan an explanation or a narrative on the Wright Flyer's plane.

Amelia Earhart - Conclusion - Information Report

Amelia Earhart

I have mentioned in this article about Amelia Earhart's achievements as an aviator. Amelia Earhart was the first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic Ocean with Noonan and sadly they both disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean near Howland Island in 1937. On 15 May, 1923 , Amelia Earhart was the 16th woman to get a pilots license. On the 17th of June , 1928 Earhart took of from Trepassey Harbour, Newfoundland in a Fokker plane. In 1931 Amelia Earhart powered a Pitcairn PCA-2 autogyro and set a world altitude record of 18,415 feet. I have also mentioned the plane she had flew. The first plane Amelia Earhart was the one in which she took her first lesson in 1920, a Curtis JN-4 Jenny. She also flew the Lockheed Martin. In 1937, Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan set off in a twin-engine Lockheed Electra Model 10E plane in which they both died. The Lockheed Vega 5B and 5C helped Amelia Earhart achieve her solo non-stopping flight across the Atlantic.

L.I To write a concluding paragraph.

For our reading must do we had to pick a aviator and right a concluding (conclusion) paragraph for that aviator. I did Amelia Earhart because she is my favourite aviator. I learnt about the plane she flew like the Lockheed plane she flew across the Pacific Ocean. I was a bit struggling on thinking what to start off my conclusion but I stall managed to get it done with a little help with Mr Asherts (reliever teacher). I think for next time I should do a conclusion on the other aviators.

Amelia Mary Earhart - Information Repor - Introduction

Amelia Mary Earhart

Amelia Mary Earhart was an American aviator pioneer and author.Amelia Earhart was the first women to fly solo (by herself) across the Atlantic Ocean. Amelia Earhart trained as a nurse assistant and served as an voluntary Aid detachment nurse at a military hospital during World War 1. Amelia Earhart moved to California to her parents. She and her father Edwin attended an “aerial meet” in Long Beach and that is where she became attentive in flying. Amelia Earhart graduated in Hyde Park School and went to Chicago and Ogontz University. Amelia Earhart was gone flying over the central Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937 and was never found.

L.I To write an information report introduction

Today for our Writing Must Do we had to pick on of our favourite aviator out of Jean Batten , The Wright Brothers , Richard Pearse and Amelia Earhart and has to write a information report introduction about the one we choosed. I choose Amelia Earhart. I learnt a lot more info about her than before. I learnt that after she graduated from Hyde Park School she went to Chicago and Ogontz University. I was a bit struggling on writing my last sentence to finish off the introduction. I think for next time I should write about Jean Batten , Richard Pearse or the Wright Brothers.

Information Report - Success Criteria

This term for writing we are focusing on Information Reports. This DLO shows the success criteria  in a information report and what it should have as well.
