Why was the airplane invented the time it did? Why not 10 years later?

Rufina [12.5K]

While many believe that the airplane was invented by the Wright brothers in Kitty Hawk, N.C., the first man to fly was New Zealander Richard Pearse in 1902, eight months before the Wright brothers first flew. Pearse, according to witnesses, flew a length of 50 to 400 yards in a heavier-than-air machine. Pearse's aircraft was the first to use proper ailerons, which allowed the wings to warp and turn the aircraft. Though many credit the invention of airplanes to the Wright brothers, Richard Pearse never reported his inventions because he didn't know there was any interest in flying.

Though the Wright brothers tested many gliders in the early 1900s, none of them counted as an actual aircraft, and the brothers didn't achieve flight until late 1903 with their first plane, the Flyer I. The craft weighed over 600 pounds, and Orville Wright was the first pilot. The craft remained airborne for 12 seconds and traveled a little over 120 feet.

What was Teddy Roosevelt's personality like?

Irina18 [472]

The legendary personality of Theodore Roosevelt is timeless. He went from an insatiably curious child, to an active young man, and finally, a boisterous revolutionary as a politician. In the eyes of Theodore Roosevelt, characteristics worthy of admiration included consistent hard work, dedication to family, quiet religious adherence, and a willingness to help the fellow man.

To a man like Theodore Roosevelt, character was the very definition of a man (or woman). Overcoming his asthmatic, sickly childhood years through vigorous exercise and unyielding determination, he frequently applied this incomparable work ethic to other areas of his life. He was a voracious reader, prolific writer, and consummate academic. His dedication to ‘playing fair’ led to the reform of various corrupt government offices and organizations, as well as the ‘busting’ of the biggest corporate trusts of U.S. history. Teddy’s love for the outdoors transformed U.S. domestic policy into a forerunner of conservation and preservation efforts, leading to the signing of the Antiquities Act and the designation of countless refuges, preserves, and national monuments. And his indomitable spirit led to the implementation of his Big Stick Policy, which placed the U.S. squarely at the top of the global powers.
