	Wright Brothers in the Aviation History Encyclopedia
		They had researched and initially relied upon the aeronautical literature of the day, including Lilienthal's tables but, finding that the Smeaton Coefficient, a variable in the formula for lift and the formula for drag was wrong, had a wind tunnel built by their employee, Charlie Taylor, to perform practical tests.
		Orville's uncontrolled flight, of 120 feet in 12 seconds, was recorded in a famous photograph.
		In the fourth flight of the same day, the only flight made that day which was actually controlled, Wilbur Wright flew 852 feet in 59 seconds [1].

	Your Flight Has Been Cancelled....
		Purposes of these flights were to be: geophysical and astronomical research; photography of the solar corona; solar x-ray imagery; medical-biological research; detailed study of the effects of weightlessness on the human organism; dosimetry; and engineering tests of ion flow sensors to be used for orientation of later Soyuz spacecraft.
		The flight would have been devoted to demonstrating pilot control of the spacecraft and evaluation of the systems (this was to hve followed two unmanned flight tests).
		This flight was finally seen as unnecessary; the decision to cancel it came on November 16 and was officially announced on December 22, 1966; the Schirra crew instead became, briefly, the backup crew to Apollo 1 (replacing the original backup crew of McDivitt, Scott, Schweickart).

	Biographical Sketch of John Glenn
		NASA originally planned for the first three Mercury launches to be sub-orbital flights in which the spacecraft would arch briefly into space before splashing down in the Atlantic Ocean east of Cape Canaveral.
		This warning caused some nervous moments for the flight’s controllers since a damaged heat shield could result in the disintegration of the spacecraft and its pilot during the 3,000-degree heat of re-entry.
		After the flight Glenn received hundreds of thousands of pieces of mail from people living in every state in the union and from close to one hundred foreign countries, including the Soviet Union.

		Lessons (K-8) focus on center of gravity; its relationship to thrust vectoring, pitch, and yaw; how thrust is created in a jet engine; how vectoring (directing the thrust from a jet engine) affects movement of a plane; and fuel efficiency and drag.
		From Silk to Oil: Cross-Cultural Connections Along the Silk Roads is a curriculum guide for exploring China's inner Asian frontier and one of the world's oldest and most important trade routes.
		Topics include real-time weather and climate data, air pollution, remote sensing data, the Gulf Stream, water use and testing around the world, boiling water, plants and animals in your schoolyard, measuring the circumference of earth, population growth, and tracking a real airplane in flight to see how vectors and trigonometry are used for navigation.
