Wilbur Wright was born in 1867. From an early age he had an interest in inventions. He did well with studies. When Wilbur was 11, his father brought home a toy helicopter. This started his interest in flying machines. Wilbur would have gone to college; however, a sports injury and his mother's death made him depressed. He withdrew from Yale. However, later on, he got over his depression, and continued on his life. He passed away on 1912 from typhoid fever. Wilbur and Orville Wright, two brothers, set up a printing and editing business. Then they set up a bicycle shop, which was the current business craze at the time. The two brothers were really interested in mechanics, and soon became interested in finding out how to make machines fly. Their ideas were influenced by Lilienthal, a German glider. The Wright brothers persevered in research and building the machines, and created a successful glider in 1901. They constantly modified the glider, and in 1903, created a better version of it, the Wright Glider. The plane structure is the same idea of the structures found in planes today. Their invention had a huge impact on the world. Their invention, the first airplane, was a huge change in peoples' lives. It was a much faster way of transportation, compared to coaches, cars, bicycles, ships, and railroads. This made many changes because it connected the whole world together in an easier sense. Also, it affected the economy, as planes can ship many items quickly, as well as to visit important clients and such. The world has become a much more convenient place because of the airplane. Wilbur Wright died in 1912, at the young age of 45. He suffered from typhoid fever, which is a common disease from around the world. It is caused by eating or drinking something that is contaminated. Wilbur had the typhoid fever for over 2 years, from 1910 to 1912. Then, the fever took a wild turn, and Wilbur Wright passed away
