An Engine Furnished the Motive Power and No Balloon Was Used?Was Easily Controlled. Norfolk, Va., Doc. 18 ?A successful trial of a Hying ninchino was madd yes terday near Kitty Hawk, N. C, by Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton, O. The machine flew for three miles in the faco of a wind blowing at the reg istered velocity of 21 miles an hour and then gracefully descended to earth at tho spot selected by the uion in the navigator's car as a suitable landing place. Tho machine has no balloon at tachment, but gets its forco from pro pellers worked by a small engine. Preparatory to its flight the machine was placed upon a platform near Kitty Hawk. This platform was built on a high sandhill and when all was In readiness the fastenings to the machino wore released and it started down an in cline. Tho navigator, Wilbur Wright, then started a small gasoline engine which worked tho propellers. When the end of tho incline was reached the lr.nchiuo gradually rose until it ob tained an altitude of GO feet. In the faco cf the strong wind blowing, it maintained an oven speed of eight miles an hour. Tho idea of tho box kite has been ad hored to in tho basic formation of the flying machino.
