Wright Brothers Day HistoryWright Brothers Day is celebrated to honor the incredible achievements of Orville and Wilbur Wright. The presidential proclamation of this day recognizes the pioneering spirit of the two brothers who, against all odds, made the first successful flight in a heavier-than-air, mechanically propelled airplane. The Wright Brothers first made history on December 17, 1903, when they launched their airplane, the Wright Flyer, from the sands of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Known for their ingenuity and determination, the Wright Brothers spent years carefully studying the mechanics of bird flight, which were the inspiration for their aeronautical experiments.
