How to Make Your Own airplane | How to Design a Plane | How to Build a Plane

The Wright brothers spent no less than three years on the sand dunes near the coast of North Carolina making their own airplanes. They approached the difficulties in a methodical manner, working out each problem and determining which was the best means of accomplishing a certain result. To control the tendency to pitching, they devised an elevation rudder and attached it to the front of their machine. The next step was to determine whether equilibrium should be maintained by shifting the centre of gravity or if there was not a better method and they introduced what is probably the most valuable feature of the modern aeroplane, namely the warping or twisting of the ends of the planes to secure lateral stability when a gust of wind strikes one end of the machine. In this manner the Wright's continued their experiments until every move had become a matter of habit and to balance and guide an aeroplane was almost an instinct.
