How did the Wright brothers learn aviation knowledge?
The Wright brothers wilbur wright and Orville Wright are the sons of a priest in Ohio, USA. They have been very interested in flying since childhood. The Wright brothers have no higher education, but they are open-minded and eager to learn, attach great importance to theory and practice, and read a lot of aerodynamic literature. In order to read the works of Lilienthal, the most important pioneer of glider research, they taught themselves German.
