The brothers' fundamental breakthrough was their invention of, three-axis control which enabled the pilot to steer the. Aircraft effectively and to maintain its equilibrium 4. [] [] [] [5 6 7] This method became and remains standard on fixed-wing. Aircraft of all kinds. [] [] From 8 9 the beginning of their, aeronautical workThe Wright brothers focused on developing a reliable method of pilot control as the key to solving "the flying problem."). This approach differed significantly from other experimenters of the time who put more emphasis on developing powerful engines 10. []. Using a small homebuilt wind tunnel the Wrights, also collected more accurate data than, any beforeEnabling them to design and build wings and propellers that were more efficient than any before. [] [] Their 11 12 first, U.S. ,,, patent 821 393 did not claim invention of a flying machine but rather, the invention, of a system of aerodynamic control. That manipulated a flying machine 's surfaces. [13]
.They gained the mechanical skills essential for their success by working for years in their shop with, printing presses. ,, bicycles motors and other machinery. Their work with bicycles in particular influenced their belief that an unstable vehicle. Like a flying machine could be controlled and balanced with practice. [] From 14 1900 until their first powered flights in. Late, 1903They conducted extensive glider tests that also developed their skills as pilots. Their bicycle shop employee Charlie Taylor. Became an important part of, the team building their first airplane engine in close collaboration with the brothers.
The. Wright brothers' status as inventors of the airplane has been subject to counter-claims by various parties.Much controversy persists over the many competing claims of early aviators. Historian Edward Roach argues that they were. Excellent self-taught engineers with a knack for tinkering more than for systematic research but they, proved to be poor. Businessmen 15. [].
