December 17, 2003 marks the 100-year anniversary of the Wright Brothers' successful flight into the history books. In honor of the famous achievement, the Los Angeles section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics started the Wright Flyer Project. The goal of the project, which began almost twenty years ago, is to build a replica of the Wright Flyer that is identical to the original in every way possible. One replica is already complete, but another is being constructed to actually fly at the centennial celebration. A complete overview of the project, technical papers, and video clips are all available on this Web site.
