Kitty Hawk, NC USA 9/2006. WRIGHT BROTHERS DECEMBER 17, 1903 KITTY HAWK NORTH CAROLINA FLIGHT CHANGED THE WORLD. It wasn’t much…merely 120 feet (37 m) in 12 seconds, at miles per hour ( km/h) over the ground; but that short span of time and distance changed the world forever: HEAVIER THAN AIR FLIGHT HAD ARRIVED. December 17, 1903, at Kill Devil Hill, North Carolina, was not exactly a promising day. Freezing wind made for a rather uncomfortable morning. Nonetheless, Wilbur and Orville Wright with persistence and determination would change the world in their ‘heavier than air flying.
