Wright Brothers, Curtiss-Wright, Part 61 vs Part 141 Training

12/16/23 • 34 min

We discuss the Wright Brothers to celebrate the 120th anniversary of their first flight on December 17, 1903. How did the Wright Flyer's wing get its inspiration? Did the Wright Flyer use a catapult on the first flight? Were both Wright Brothers born in Dayton, Ohio? Is there video of the Wright Brothers' first flight? Learn the answers to these questions and more such as why one wing was longer on the original Wright Flyer than the other, in this aviation podcast. The Wright brothers changed the world but also with collaboration with Glenn Curtiss, the Curtiss-Wright Corporation was formed and a spin-off of an employee from that company formed another very well-known, major aviation company that is still going strong today. A listener question from our Discord server asks the difference between training at a part 61 vs part 141 program. That question is answered and so much more.
