The Wright brothers were never really known as “heroes” among others. They didn’t go around saving people or go around using magic healing powers to bring people back from the dead. What they did do was make travel and communication a lot easier. Orville and Wilbur Wright impacted generations to come as heroes while being viewed as complete nutjobs in their time.
Together, Orville and Wilbur accomplished many tasks that make life more effortless in modern times. In 1900 when the brothers built their first glider as a start to what they would later conclude, they would take it on the runway in Kitty Hawk every day.

The Air Force is a modern example, but it wouldn’t of happened without the Wright brothers. Another way that they impacted us is teaching others how to pilot their planes. They even opened up a school to help teach military pilots how to turn and keep the plane in the air. That school continued to teach different pilots how to fly. A more modern example of how they impacted different generations is passenger jets. Think about how limited the world would be without them. There wouldn’t be a spread of technology, ideas, culture, or anything of that sort. Everything would just kind of be there and it would stay there like it is. The brothers impacted not only their generation, but ours too by creating the first motorized plane.
All in all the Wright brothers did some pretty marvelous things together. They’ve done things that influenced others to follow in their footsteps, they’ve been told their ideas weren’t going to work, and everyone called them insane. Even through all of that they still remained the people they were. The Wright brothers went down in history as heroes that impacted many generations that followed
