Description
English: Wilbur and Orville Wright with the Flyer II at Huffman Prairie, outside of Dayton, Ohio, in May 1904.
The Wrights had a much more difficult time testing their aircraft at Huffman Prairie than at Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, due to the lack of high winds. To artificially reach the needed wind speed of 27 miles per hour, the brothers invented a catapult which provided the extra speed needed to become airborne. On September 7, 1904, the Wrights tested the first catapult and it was a success, giving the Flyer II a push to make half-mile long flights.
Deutsch: Wilbur und Orville Wright im Mai 1904 mit dem Flyer II auf der Huffman Prairie außerhalb von Dayton, Ohio.
Die Wrights hatten es wegen der fehlenden starkten Winde viel schwerer, ihr Flugzeug auf der Huffman Prairie zu testen als in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Um die erforderliche Geschwindigkeit von 43 km/h zu erreichen, erfanden die Brüder ein Katapult, das die Maschine auf die notwendige Geschwindigkeit brachte, die erforderlich war, um in die Luft zu gelangen. Am 7. September 1904 testeten die Wrights das erste Katapult mit Erfolg. Es gab dem Flyer II den Schub, 800 Meter weite Flüge zu machen.
