Summary

Description

Wright Model B in Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center

Museum Information:

By October 1905, the Wright brothers had advanced their breakthrough 1903 design to a practical airplane. In 1908 and 1909, after securing their patent and contracts for the sale of their invention, they publicly demonstrated an improved version of their 1905 design, the Wright Model A, in Europe and the United States to great acclaim. In 1910 the Wrights built a manufacturing facility in their hometown of Dayton, Ohio. Their first production aircraft, the Wright Model 13, differed from the Model A by having wheeled landing gear and the horizontal elevator in the rear instead of the front.

This aircraft is a thoroughly accurate, flyable reproduction of the Wright Model B. All materials and techniques used to build it are the same as those employed by the Wright brothers. The engine is an actual 1911 Wright—built motor (serial number 33) used on an original Model 13.
