| | | | The goal of the Wright Experience is to fully understand the Wrights' scientific process and achievement. In building as accurate a reproduction as possible and conducting its own tests, the team hopes to gather new insights into the performance of the machine and the genius of the Wrights. | | | | Theory: No original plans exist for the 1901 glider. In order to build an accurate glider, the team must trust the information in diaries, letters, lectures, and photographs taken by the brothers. | | | | Research and Design: Tour the assembled machine in detail. | | | | Experiments: Two settings, two tests, one century apart. | | | | Progress: A new understanding of the Wrights' work at the critical time of 1901 has emerged. | | | |
