Read the passage from "Wilbur and Orville Wright: Men with Wings" by Dorothy Haas.
It was December 17, 1903. Wilbur and Orville Wright had already made three very short flights that morning. They had flown as far as 175 feet, and had been air-borne about twenty seconds on the longest of these flights.
These had been unsteady, up-and-down flights. The plane would rise to fourteen feet from the ground, and then it would dart, suddenly, to within ten feet. The brothers hoped to make a longer flight. They wanted to prove beyond doubt that this was a real, motor-driven flight, and not just a wind-lifted glide.
What is the main idea of the passage?
