Significance
The advances in flight: Travel by air could become much faster and
more convenient (although this didn't happen commercially for a few
decades) and allowed objects smaller than 100 feet in diameter to
take to the skies. Imagine a world where the best way to travel to
another continent was by an ocean liner or airship? This flight paved
the way for a revolutionizing of Air Travel (and military combat).
The piston engine became more commonly known and used in
machinery.
It changed the churches views on flight being only for angles

Personal Statement
I think that popcorn was named after them
because theyre lighter than air
I would probably crap myself if I had to travel
on the outside of an airplane like they did.
They were pretty cool brothers that wanted to
fly like birds and succeed.
