Of all humankind now taking flight, few could argue that Orville and Wilbur Wright were the inspired geniuses who truly showed us a way into the sky. Although she may not carry the acclaim surrounding the 1903 Wright Flyer of the following year, the first in powered flight, all controlled flight has only one pinnacle of design, and that is The 1902 Wright Glider. The Wright brothers, Orville Wright (August 19, 1871 - January 30, 1948) and Wilbur Wright (April 16, 1867 - May 30, 1912), are generally credited with the design and construction of the first practical aeroplane, and making the first controllable, powered heavier-than-air flight along with many other aviation milestones. ... The Wright Flyer (often retrospectively referred to as Flyer I) was the first powered aircraft designed and built by the Wright Brothers. ...

The unparalleled achievement embodied in this most elegant aircraft, was the inclusion of yaw control. Once combined with its siblings named pitch and roll, yaw finalized the configuration needed for complete manuverability. With 3-axis control, the 1902 Wright Glider became the first machine in recorded history to be thought of in such terms. Since 1902, and forevermore, the triumph of the Wright Glider may be credited with having enabled all pilots with their supreme command of the air. Flight dynamics is the study of orientation of air and space vehicles and how to control the critical flight parameters, typically named pitch, roll and yaw. ...
