Wright Brothers




The Wright Brothers made a big difference in our lives. They were the famous brothers that made the first airplane, or the so famous ''glider'', and it wasn't the airplane only that they created, they also invented the bicycle. The airplane today was perfected now, it is made of metal, it uses fuel, and it can fly not for seconds only, it can keep flying for more than one day. The bicycle was perfected too, before it was made of wood and it did not last very long, now today bikes can last up to 4 years if u take normal care of it and try not to destroy it. The yeasr of 1903 was a bright year because today now it is one of the things that affect out lives the most.

The Chunnel is the biggest tunnel in the whole world. The Chunnel was a big engineering problem when it came to be built underwater, they could not dig, so they had to do the was that most big tunnels are built like, they had to make the parts of the tunnel on ground, then bring it to the sea, and then sink it in the right direction.
