41. The History Of The Airplane - Orville And Wilbur Wright.
    Earlier in 1900, Wilbur Wright wrote to French aviation pioneer Octave Chanute (18321910)and expressed the belief that flight is possible to man and I

    Extractions: Orville Wright (1871-1948) and Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) requested a patent application for a "flying machine" nine months before their successful flight in December 1903, which Orville Wright recorded in his diary. As part of the Wright Brothers' systematic practice of photographing every prototype and test of their various flying machines, they had persuaded an attendant from a nearby lifesaving station to snap Orville Wright in full flight. The craft soared to an altitude of 10 feet, traveled 120 feet, and landed 12 seconds after takeoff. After making two longer flights that day, Orville and Wilbur Wright sent this telegram to their father, instructing him to "inform press."

    Extractions: Upon entering the exhibit space, visitors are pulled towards the introductory panel by virtue of its wonderfully rendered image of a "winged" man falling from the skies. This winged man is based upon the legend of Icarus, who, flying too close to the sun, plunged to the ocean when the wax of his wings melted. The intro panel and the legend of Icarus symbolize the origin of mankind's desire to take to the skies. The dream-like colors and images composing the introduction also symbolize a dream in its infancy stage-a time in history when flight was merely fancy. Graphic Panel A: Copying Birds The 3-D Da Vinci ornithopter beckons the visitors forward. They decide to show a bit of discipline-and rather than run to the ornithopter-they continue the exhibit at the "Copying Birds Panel." Visitors learn that Leonardo Da Vinci, in the 15th century, was the first person to give human flight serious consideration. This panel explores the insatiable curiosity of this genius, as well as others. Numerous graphics of Da Vinci's codex: On the Flight of Birds is explored, as well as how his study lead him to believe that the answer to flight lie in the

    creative genius of such visionary men as Otto Lilienthal (18481896), whose workwith hang gliders in Germany attracted Octave Chanute (1832-1910), a Frenchman  
    http://www.navalaviationhistory.com/CaliforniaStory.html
    
    Extractions: Since the earliest of time man has dreamt of flight. One of the World's greatest artist, architect, inventor and philosopher, Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519), spent nearly twenty years of his life inventing various contraptions for use by man in the area of flight. His sketch books are filled with ideas that even include the earliest design for a parachute and even the helicopter (Helix). The Wright brothers' success was based on the creative genius of such visionary men as Otto Lilienthal (1848-1896), whose work with hang gliders in Germany attracted Octave Chanute (1832-1910), a Frenchman, to experiment with hang gliders in the United States. However, their experiments were largely based on the work of Lawrence Hargrave (1850-1915), an Australian, who invented the box kite. Orville and Wilbur Wright had been interested in aviation ever since childhood. They studied the mechanics of bird flight and the hang-glider experiments of Lilienthal and in 1899, they built a kite to experiment with actual flight. They were on the right path, and in 1900 built a glider themselves. Modern aviation was finally born on a windy Thursday morning, on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, when Oriville Wright took off, at 10:35 a.m., and flew the Wright Flyer I for 12 seconds.

47. Wright Brothers National Memorial, National Park Service
    Inspired, the Wrights took up his quest to get on intimate terms with the wind. Octave Chanute (18321910) gathered and disseminated aeronautical knowledge.  
    http://www.nps.gov/wrbr/indepth/brochure.htm
    
    Extractions: National Park Service What they achieved changed the world forever. Wind, sand, and the dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, where they achieved the first successful airplane flights on December 17, 1903. With courage and perseverance these self taught engineers relied on teamwork and the application of scientific process. Wright Brothers of Dayton They had seemingly settled into respectability as proprietors of a small business. But the Wright brothers of Dayton, Ohio nurtured a barely respectable dream; the possibility of flight. Wilbur, four years older, quiet and intense, a dreamer who could lose himself in books. Orville was outgoing, talkative, and an immaculate dresser. Both combined intuitive mechanical ability with analytical intelligence. In 1892 they opened a bicycle shop and prospered, but they were restless, especially Wilbur. Their energies were focused by two events of 1896; the death in a flying accident of Otto Lilienthal, the celebrated experimenter with gliders, and the successful launching of powered models by Samuel Langley. The Wright's serious work in aeronautics began in 1899 when Wilbur wrote the Smithsonian for literature. Dismayed that so many great minds had made so little progress, the brothers were also exhilarated by the realization that they had as much chance as anyone of succeeding. Wilbur took the lead in the early stages of their work, but Orville was soon drawn in as an equal collaborator. They quickly developed their own theories, and for the next four years devoted themselves to the goal of human flight.

Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Today’s mathematics curricula and education goals should reflect the importance of mathematical literacy. Therefore this unit will attempt to reflect some of these new directions both in the content and the method of teaching. The new direction can be summarized in the following statements:1 The mathematics curriculum should also reflect the mathematical needs of the next decade. Today’s students will be working with tools and in an environment that will need an understanding of more complex thinking skills. Teachers and curriculum planners must understand and anticipate the changing needs of industries and the society. Henry Pollak2 (1987) summarized the mathematical needs and expectations for employers in the industrial sector of the future.

Teacher’s Bibliography A long time ago I had become interested in a TV series called Connections, hosted and written by James Burke. The premise of the show was that the events which have shaped and continue to shape our world are often the product of seemingly unrelated events, which eventually fall into place and lead to a great global change. Flight was one of these global changes. How would Burke have handled this topic? It’s my guess that it all started in the universal wishes of man to free himself from the chains of gravity, as evidenced in the myths of many cultures. From this starting point we would look at kites, the lateen sail, flight toys (old and new), hot air balloons, propulsion units, hang gliders, and the men who made them. Eventually we would end with the Kitty Hawk experience, the controlled flight of man in an aeroplane.

    Extractions: Self-educated People Who've Made a Difference Millions of people pay a king’s ransom for college tuition to learn what is free for the taking when motivated by a compelling desire to learn. In the movie Good Will Hunting , Will (played by Matt Damon) chides an arrogant Ivy League student for paying a fortune for an education that would be free but for the price of a library card. Although this is absolutely valid, very few people believe it. Instead they are convinced the knowledge they could acquire on their own is secondary to paying a lot of money to an institution which will attest that they have, even if they cheated their way through the process. Specialness and eliteness can be purchased, but real knowledge has to be acquired through genuine effort. Practicality aside, the psychology of Internet II is yet another attempt to fashion walls around information, which loses its value if it can’t be parceled out. We need colleges and universities just as we need teachers and people who are enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge with others. But the idea that the only learning respectable enough for economic compensation comes from institutions, which treat it as a scarce resource, is patently absurd. The people named in the following list demonstrate this beyond doubt.

    Extractions: PLANE FACTS Early flight was very primitive and it is a wonder that the planes flew but most did even if for a short while. There were many interested in flight even in the first decade of the 1900s. Lawrence Hargrave's design on the box kite enabled early aeronauts to go aloft long enough to gain practical experience of the effects of wind and gusts on their machine. On July 2, 1900, the first flight of the Zeppelin, a "rigid" airship was the first aircraft to use large metal structures. On November 13, 1907, the first helicopter was flown by Paul Cornu, a French inventor. Igor Sikorshy of Russian gave the world its first multi-engine airplane, the four-engine "Grand". Can you imagine that shortly after 1912 this revolutionary aircraft offered an enclosed cabin, upholstered chairs, lavatory, even an exterior catwalk on the fuselages where passengers could walk while in flight. In addition on September 14, 1939, Igor took his VS 300 , another plane that he had built, a few feet off the ground to give the western hemisphere its first practical helicopter, the child from which today's helicopter industry grew. Igor's fifth airplane, the S-5, brought him national recognition as well as FA1 pilot license N0 64. That may have been the first pilot's license. Octave Chanute, 1832-1910, of France contributed to flight science in the areas of control systems and stability, efficiency of materials, aircraft structural integrity and strength.
