The "Pride of the West" muslin fabric chosen by the Wrights was critical to the success of their aircraft. Explore a section of the original fabric from the 1903 Flyer, loaned by Orville's grand-niece, Marianne Miller Hudec. |
Like every aspect of the Wright aircraft, the method of applying the fabric was not completely known. Join Beverly Hyde and the Wright Experience team as they rediscover this detailed process. Quicktime is required to see this portion of the feature. If the images do not appear, download the plug-in for free. |
The fabric not only covers the wings, it also helps hold them together, allows them to be flexible, and has other surprises while in flight. See how the fabric actually helps the Flyer fly!
