in 1911, Orville Wright set a record for unpowered flight in Kitty Hawk, taking off in his glider into 50-mile-per-hour winds. This photo shows Wright in the process of his 9-minute-and-45-second flight. Between October 16 and October 26, Wright made nearly 100 glides to test new equipment and safety measures.
