Orville and Wilbur Wright were pioneer aviators in the United States. Orville was the first American to successfully fly an airplane on December 17, 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This inaugural flight changed the skies forever and President Franklin D. Roosevelt created this special day in 1939 with a Presidential Proclamation honoring Orville (it’s his birthday) and his brother! With our competition, we’re hoping to inspire the next generation of pilots, designers, engineers and dreamers with the wonder of aviation.
