The design is based on the photograph taken in the first flight carried out by the plane built by the Wright brothers in 1903. Commemorates the historic flight of December 17, 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. It was the first time that man managed to fly a motorized and piloted machine.
The machine called "The Flyer" covered a distance of approximately 37 meters on its maiden flight. On December 14, 1903 Orville and Wilbur Wright tossed a coin to draw a lottery for who would have the privilege of testing the flying machine, Wilbur was finally the winner of the bet, but due to various circumstances the test ended with the device on the ground, part of the aircraft broke.
It took them 3 days to repair the machine again and since Wilbur had already had his chance, this time it was Orville who took control of the device, this time "The Flyer" got up off the ground for about 12 seconds, traveling the aforementioned 36 ,5 meters.
