wright flyer. but it's now in a tractor configuration, where the engine and propeller are on the front. two bi plane wings and the stabilizer and you have control at the top for each of the wings. so more french influence. and so after the creation of the airplane, the wright brothers bring it to the world. there's some french and others who are flying airplanes. but the french really run with it. they take a lead. as well as other nations. in looking at this airplane, it is the epitome of the strut and wire consfig youration that the wright brothers created but is enhanced. figuration that the wright brothers created but is enhanced. the spad vii is very important it has very thin air flows to allow to to go very fast. it is fabric covered. it is 220 horsepower v8 engine under need that calling. there's a tight-fitting mental healthal tal metal covering it to allow the air to streamline more efficiently. mark burkigt has designed a very important series of automobile engines in the pre-war era and

behind me you see the wright flyer, the world's first airplane. on 1703, at 10:35 a.m., wilbur wright takes flight for 120 feet. er for it's the first time a man has entered into the air in a power flying machine. at the end of the fourth flight, with them alternating. 30 miles per hour at a altitude of 30 feet and they usher in this aerial age, age of aviation. and how they came to create that moment is very important. because not only do the wright brothers invent the airplane, but they invent aeronautical engineering, the processes used to create actual flying machines. so, beginning in 1908, wilbur and oroville wright, they are unmarried, own a printing business. they are yanky mechanics. they know tools and mechanical devices and take that interest and apply it to printing presses and bicycles and into building a flying machine. they write the smithsonian institution and ask for all the literature on flight. and they learn about all the predecessors. samuel langly, who's going to be the secretary of the smithsonian and a competitor. they lear

what you see as the original airplane, the wright fire.it's been restored, things have been changed over the years. the fabric you see there is not the original fabric from 1903. it's been applied in the same selling methods and construction as the 1903 airplane. or evil removed the fabric, and the way the airplane looked better for when it went to england. in 19 eighties, this airplane underwent a restoration. they spruce structural members, the engine, one of the propellers, that's all original. over in the corner, the gallery is one of the original propellers that you will see. when the airplane took its tumble, it cracked and split and broke that propeller. we left the right brothers gallery, and now we are in a legend memory in the great war in the air. the world war i gallery. the airplane behind me as a spad 13. in many ways, this is what the configuration of the french and the rest of the aeronautical community takes what the wright brothers created 1903 and make it their own. this is a 1917 design, and it is the highest performanc

in the sparks brothers, wright charts the stranger than fiction tale of ron and russell mael...nable and hugely influential enigmas. from experimental american art rock projects to breakthrough uk chart hits, outlandish film dreams and insanely challenging concert tours, wright's energetic ode to sparks marries exhaustively researched archaeology with the sugar rush thrill of a heady teenage fan letter. aided by a bewildering array of interviewees from sex pistols' stevejones to weird al yankovic and richly illustrated with stills, clips and stop motion animation, wright lovingly documents sparks's century—straddling career, that has spawned 25 albums and seen the maels, whose musical annette recently opened the cannes film festival, crossed paths with everyone from todd rundgren to jacques tati. with such rich history to mine, it's unsurprising that this documentary seems at time to be a grand work of comic fantasy — an elaborate hoax by a film—maker with a sharp eye for a gag and a keen ear for a well—placed pop tune — a perfect fit for ron and russell. but what's most impress

when the wright brothers invented the power flight, the problem wasn't the wings, it was the propellers. you had to come up with a propeller to make the plane stay in the air. you had private bicycle makers doing windtunnel tests while they were catapulting. you have to be careful about getting funding, especially when it is compulsory. unfortunately a lot of this is bipartisan. we will have new manufacturing hubs and labs. you end up pushing technology in a way that it might not go and you are getting the cart for the horse. all of this is destabilizing. there are other things you can do. one is relaxing antitrust laws so companies can work together. you don't have government pick the winning racehorses to run around the track. instead you improve the tracks all of the horses can run faster on that same track. that is what you need to do with hydrogen. host: we have a viewer who makes the statement regulations protect the consumer and the environment from corporations. guest: i am glad somebody brought that up. it needs to be addressed. you can't just say, ok we want to protect these t
