The Wright Brothers Flyer holds a place in history as the world's first successful powered aircraft. Designed and built by Orville and Wilbur Wright, two visionary aviation pioneers, the Flyer made its historic flight on December 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This groundbreaking aircraft, a biplane with a wingspan of 12.3 meters (40 feet), was powered by a 12-horsepower engine and sustained a brief flight of 12 seconds, covering a distance of 36.5 meters (120 feet).

Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, a history buff, or simply admire groundbreaking achievements, this display is a must-have addition to your collection.

Good, but...

I enjoyed the Wright Flyer Fabric Artifact Display. However, there was no certificate of authenticity. So as far as I can tell its just a piece of cloth in acrylic

No COA - Would like verification

I got the piece and I don’t mind the size, if it’s really is from the weight brothers plane, I wouldn’t expect a huge piece for $50 anyway.

I would have liked a back story on how they got the fabric or a certificate of authenticity with the piece to verify it’s real.

The first question anyone asks me, “how do you know it’s real?”

And the simple answer is, I don’t. Which is why I’d have loved a COA of some sort, or a pic of the original piece.

Hi Richard, the original COA from the Smithsonian is available for the Wright Flyer Fabric artifact. We emailed that to you. We are working on printing our own COA's for the individual artifact displays. In the meantime, we can send the original COA's via email.
