    The Wright brothers developed the idea of the Airplane in the bicycle shop when Wilbur squeezed an empty bicycle tube box flat and noticed that the flattened box is the same shape as a two-winged glider.

    Explanation:

    In "The wright Brothers: Air pioneers" by David white, Wilbur and Oville fascination about flight began when their father gave them a flying toy as presnt. They were interested in mechanical things and read about how machines work.

    The idea for the aircraft was born in the bicycle shop. They used a bicycle chain as propeller on their plane. They also made large kites. And with persitence, They built a better glider which had a rudder to steer with and were able to fly more than 600 feet.

    They also made an engine that would be able to power one of their gliders.
