How did these two modest small businessmen, working essentially alone, with little or no technical training, solve a complex and demanding problem that defied better-known experiments for centuries?" -- Tom Crouch, senior curator, Smithsonian national Air and Space Museum.
"The Wright brothers were indeed the first to get an airplane off the ground, but the more important reason they are credited with the invention of the airplane is that they created a fundamentally new technology, one that could evolve and be developed to meet challenges unimaginable in 1903". -- Peter Jakab, chairman of the Aeronautics Division, Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
