1907-1909 WRIGHT MODEL A

3,612 screwdog  8.6 years ago

The Wright Model A was the world's first production airplane, and the Wrights produced variations of this aircraft from 1907 to 1909. It was very similar to its immediate prototype, the 1905 Wright Flyer III, but it was longer, slightly heavier, and had a more powerful engine. The most important difference, perhaps, was that it was designed to carry two people sitting upright in two seats on the leading edge of the wing.
