The invention of the airplane by Wilbur and Orville Wright is one of the great stories in American history. The Wright brothers’ invention not only solved a long-studied technical problem but also helped create an entirely new world.
In the “Transformational Technologies” video series, the National Air and Space Museum explores artifacts in its collection that changed our lives, transformed the way we viewed the world, or looked at an existing problem in a new way. All artifacts featured are now on display in the eight new galleries at the National Air and Space Museum in DC. “Transformational Technologies” is made possible by the support of Lockheed Martin.
