Why Propeller?

“Isn’t it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so that we could discover them.” -Orville Wright in a letter to a friend after the first tests of their propeller design.

Hand carved from spruce using a hatchet and a draw knife, the propeller on the Wrights’ 1903 Flyer was the innovation that etched the brothers into history. It provided the power and the forward lift that let them leave the earth and their competition behind.
