- The history of the Wright Flyer originates back to their kite and glider designs. In 1899, a kite was made for testing. In 1900, a glider was made. It could hold a single passenger. In 1901, a second glider was made, and in 1902, a third. Deciding that there were no suitable engines from automobiles, the Wright Brothers had Charlie Taylor build one. The resulting engine had many similarities to bicycle technology.

They funded their research with the profits from their brand of bicycles. The first successful flight marked a effectively the start of aviation history, and is as such the Wright Flyer is seen as the first, if not the father of, modern aeroplanes. In 2277, the Flyer can be found on the floor of the Museum of Technology in a destroyed and shattered state, possibly the cause of malicious damage considering the state of the building itself as well as other exhibits. For example, the Valiant 11 lunar lander is intact, and a P-51 Mustang can still be found attached to one of the ceilings. This is further evidenced by the fact that most of the 'reachable' exhibits have been looted and destroyed.
