    NASA provides some great links to the math and science of the Wright Brothers' aircraft. Many of the pages contain "Interactive" programs so that you can learn by exploring. Clicking on the title will deliver a page with a slide and a scientific explanation of the contents. Some of the pages contain modern information which was not known by the brothers in 1905.

    What did the Wright brothers do in 1869?

    Who was the man from New Zealand who some say flew in an airplane before the Wright brothers did?

    One of these very famous brothers should really have been called 'Walter', but somebody probably decided that it didn't really fit with his brothers' names (possibly not American enough) and so the sixth one was used instead. Which family of brothers am I referring to and what's the explanation?
