Orville Wright war ein US-amerikanischer Flugzeugbauer, der am 19. August 1871 in Dayton, Ohio geboren wurde und am 30. Januar 1948 ebenda verstarb. In den Vereinigten Staaten wird ihm und seinem Bruder Wilbur der erste gesteuerte Flug zugeschrieben, obwohl dies nicht unumstritten ist. Wright absolvierte am 17. Dezember 1903 einen Flug mit dem Motorflugzeug "Flyer", wobei er 37 Meter in 12 Sekunden über Kill Devil Hills zurücklegte. Im Jahr 1936 wurde Wright in die National Academy of Sciences aufgenommen, was seine wissenschaftlichen Leistungen würdigte. Später, im Jahr 1975, erfolgte seine Aufnahme in die National Inventors Hall of Fame, was seinen Status als bedeutender Erfinder untermauerte. Der britische Bauchredner Keith Harris nannte seine Puppe, eine Ente namens Orville, scherzhaft nach Orville Wright, wobei die Ente sich stets darüber beklagte, nicht fliegen zu können.

At Fort Myer, on September 17, at a height of 75 feet, on a turn, one of the new nine-foot propeller blades was broken. The machine pitched to the ground, resulting in the death of Lieutenant Selfridge and the painful injury of Mr. Wright

NASA was formed in 1958 from the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, or NACA.
The members of the Main Committee of NACA which met in Washington, D.C. on April 18, 1929 include from left to right:
John F. Victory, Secretary; Dr. William F. Durand; Dr. Orville Wright; Dr. George K. Burgess; Brig. Gen. William E. Gillmore; Maj. Gen. James E. Fechet; Dr. Joesph S. Ames, Chairman; Rear Adm. David W. Taylor, USN (Ret.), Vice Chairman; Capt. Emory S. Land; Rear Adm. William A. Moffett; Dr. Samual W. Stratton; Dr George W. Lewis, Director of Aeronautical Research; Dr. Charles F. Marvin. (Dr. Charles G. Abbot was absent.)
Eight of the twelve members of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics attending the 9th Annual Aircraft Engineering Research Conference posed for this photograph at Langley Field, Virginia, on May 23, 1934.
Those pictured are (left to right): Brig. Gen. Charles A. Lindbergh, USAFR; Vice Admiral Arthur B. Cook, USN; Charles G. Abbot, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution; Dr. Joseph S. Ames, Committee Chairman; Orville Wright; Edward P. Warner, Fleet Admiral; Ernest J. King, USN; Eugene L. Vidal, Director, Bureau of Air Commerce.
NASA was created from the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics in 1958. This is a photo of the members of the advisory board of NACA in 1938.
NACA was the governmental organization charged with the supervision and conduct of scientific laboratory research in aeronautics. Its laboratories located at Langley Field, Virginia, provide new knowledge underlying the continuous improvement in the performance, efficiency, and safety of American aircraft.
At this meeting Dr. Joesph S. Ames, President Emeritus of Johns Hopkins University, was re-elected Chairman, and Dr. Vannevar Bush, President-elect of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, was elected Vice Chairman.
Dr. Ames' re-election as chairman was a recognition of his outstanding contributions to the science of aeronautics. He has been the leading scientific member of the Committee for over twenty-three years and chairman for eleven years. Under his visionary leadership the great laboratories of the N.A.C.A. at Langley Field have been developed.

The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics in session at Washington to discuss plans to place America foremost in the development of aviation. A report was heard from Dr. Ames, chairman of the executive committee, on research work to develop the new heavy oil fuel injection aircraft engine which does away with carburetor and spark plugs, and will lesson the fire hazard. Dr. S.W. Stratton, secretary of the committee and director of the Bureau of Standards, is shown seated at the extreme left. Around the table, left to right, are: Prof. Charles F. Marvin, chief of the weather bureau; Dr. John F. Hayford (Northwestern Univ.); Orville Wright; Major Thurman H. Bane (chief Engineer Div. Army); Paul Henderson, (Second Ass. Postmaster Gen.); Rear Adm. W.A. Moffett, Chief Bureau Aeronautics, Navy; Dr. Michael I. Pupin, (Columbia Univ.); Rear Adm. D.W. Taylor, U.S.N. (Chief Bureau Construction and repair); Dr. Charles D. Walcott, chairman, (Chief Air Service) and Dr. Joseph S. Ames, chairman executive committee (Johns Hopkins Univ.)
Orville Wright 1871 - 1948
Orville Wright was born at Dayton, Ohio in the United States. Together with his brother Wilbur, he set up and ran printing and bicycle businesses before becoming interested in flight during the mid 1890s. In 1899 the brothers began to experiment with designs for gliders. In 1903, they built the powered Wright Flyer I which made the first successful powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
