Over 120 years ago, in 1902, the Wright Brothers performed the first controlled, sustained, powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
On December 17, a team of US students unveiled the first plane built there since the original Wright Brothers’ creation, unveiling a raft on the exact day the Wright Brothers first took flight over a century ago.
The aircraft was built over 2 years. More than 100 people, including Paul Wright-Jameson — a great-great-nephew of Wilbur and Orville Wright — gathered at Kill Devil Hills to celebrate the moment.
