9 Yasmin's TimeKeeper Journal

Yasmin's TIMEKEEPER JOURNAL Wilbur, Orville, and Katharine Wright were siblings from Ohio. While history remembers the two brothers as the pioneers of flight, Katharine was also a key member of the dynamic team. Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) Wilbur was a keen inventor from an early age, but also loved sports. An injury stopped him from attending college as an athlete, so he started a business with Orville. Did you know? The brothers tossed a coin to see who would fly first, and Orville won.

威尔伯、奥维尔和凯瑟琳·赖特是来自俄亥俄州的兄弟姐妹。 虽然历史将这两兄弟视为飞行的先驱，但凯瑟琳也是这个充满活力的团队的关键成员。 威尔伯·莱特（1867-1912）威尔伯从小就是一个热心的发明家，但也喜欢运动。 一次受伤使他无法以运动员的身份上大学，所以他和奥维尔一起创业。 你知道吗？兄弟俩掷硬币看谁先飞，奥维尔赢了。

Orville Wright (1871-1948) Orville loved flying kites as a child, which may have inspired his love of aviation. He also enjoyed cycling, and along with his siblings, opened a bicycle shop. Their experiments here eventually lead to designs for an aircraft. Katharine Wright (1874-1929) After spending time as a teacher, Katharine Wright ran the Wright's bicycle shop when her brothers focussed on planes. She was also the main contact for her brothers' business dealings, and organized the media events around their flights.

奥维尔·赖特（1871-1948）奥维尔小时候喜欢放风筝，这可能激发了他对航空的热爱。 他还喜欢骑自行车，并和他的兄弟姐妹一起开了一家自行车店。 他们在这里的实验最终导致了飞机的设计。 凯瑟琳·赖特（1874-1929）当过一段时间的教师后，当她的兄弟们专注于飞机时，凯瑟琳·赖特经营着赖特的自行车店。 她还是哥哥们商业往来的主要联系人，并组织了有关他们航班的媒体活动。

The Wright FLYER After many experiments and attempts, the Wright brothers successfully made the first human-powered flight on December 17, 1903 in an aircraft called the Wright Flyer.

经过多次实验和尝试，莱特兄弟于1903年12月17日成功地驾驶一架名为“莱特飞行器”的飞机进行了第一次人力飞行。

Fly like a bird The Wright brothers studied birds in flight and were inspired by the movement of their wings, which influenced the design of their plane.

像鸟一样飞翔莱特兄弟研究鸟类的飞行，并受到它们翅膀运动的启发，这影响了他们飞机的设计。

Timeline of FLIGHT Throughout history, there has always been a desire to fly. Over time, what started as a dream became reality, as these inventions and milestones allowed humans to experience flight in new and exciting ways. 1783 First hot air balloon flight French inventors Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier built a balloon from linen, and sailed over Paris for 25 minutes. 1852 First powered and steered airship French engineer Henri Giffard's steam-powered airship flew almost 17 miles (27 km) through France at a speed of around 6 mph (10 kph). 1903 First powered, controlled flight The Wright brothers flew for 12 seconds and covered around 120 ft (30 m).

纵观历史，人们一直渴望飞行。 随着时间的推移，最初的梦想变成了现实，因为这些发明和里程碑让人类以新的和令人兴奋的方式体验飞行。 1783年，第一次热气球飞行法国发明家约瑟夫·米歇尔和雅克·艾蒂安·蒙戈尔菲用亚麻布制作了一个气球，并在巴黎上空飞行了25分钟。 1852年，法国工程师亨利·吉法德的蒸汽动力飞艇以每小时6英里（每小时10公里）的速度在法国飞行了近17英里（27公里）。 1903年，第一次动力控制飞行莱特兄弟飞行了12秒，飞行了大约120英尺（30米）。

1914 First commercial flight The world's first regularly scheduled heavier-than-air flight took off from Florida on New Year's Day, 1914. 1919 First transatlantic flight British pilots Captain Alcock and Lieutenant Whitten Brown became the first people to fly non- stop across the Atlantic Ocean. 1924 First flight around the world A team from the US Army Air Service flew for more than 175 days, landing in 22 different countries along the way. 1947 Breaking the speed of sound U.S. Air Force Captain Chuck Yeager flew faster than the speed of sound, which is 767 mph (1,234 kph). 1961 First human in space Russian-born Yuri Gagarin became the first person to travel into space, orbiting the Earth for 108 minutes.

1914年，1914年元旦，世界上第一架重于空气的定期航班从佛罗里达起飞。 1919年，第一次跨大西洋飞行英国飞行员阿尔科克上尉和惠滕·布朗中尉成为第一批不经停飞越大西洋的人。 1924年，美国陆军航空队的一支队伍飞行超过175天，沿途降落在22个不同的国家。 1947年，美国突破声速 空军上尉查克·耶格尔的飞行速度超过了音速，达到每小时767英里（每小时1234公里）。 1961年，俄罗斯出生的尤里·加加林成为第一个进入太空的人，绕地球飞行了108分钟。
