Sand, wind, and isolation led the Wright brothers to travel from Ohio to North Carolina's barrier islands (shown here) to conduct their flying experiments from 1900-1903. After several unsuccessful attempts, on December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers completed the first powered flight of a heavier-than-air aircraft known as the Wright Flyer. The flight lasted just 12 seconds, traveled 120 feet, and reached a top speed of 6.8 miles per hour. This was considered an amazing feat for its day that also paved the way for transformation in the aviation industry.
