Replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer
Hyde, Ken W., 1939-2003
The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
This copy of the 1903 Wright Flyer faithfully replicates the original aircraft. On December 17, 2003, the replica attempted to duplicate the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, exactly one hundred years after that historic feat. The attempt was foiled by bad weather, though the replica flew successfully in earlier tests.
