Wright Stuff
The Wright Stuff is a term used to describe the aerodynamic principles discovered and applied by the Wright brothers, who built the first successful powered airplane. It refers to the understanding of how lift, caused by wing shape and airflow, allows an aircraft to rise off the ground. Their innovations included designing wings that generate enough lift, and controls that enable pilots to steer and stabilize the airplane. Essentially, the Wright Stuff encompasses the science and engineering behind early aviation success, making human flight possible by harnessing airflow and aerodynamic forces effectively.
