[Daily Photo] Wright Brothers' Kitty Hawk Flyer / 萊特兄弟的小鷹號

Share this :

This is a replica of Wright Brothers' Kitty Hawk Flyer, the first motorized airplane in the world. I took this photo in the lobby of the Henry Ford IMAX Theatre. Do you know which direction is the front of this airplane? The answer is the "right side". The part that looks like a tail wing is actually the head of this airplane.

此照片拍攝於密西根州亨利福特IMAX戲院的大廳。這台飛機是萊特兄弟的小鷹號複製品,大家可以猜猜看小鷹號的"頭"是哪一邊?我拍這張照片的時候,一直認為是左邊。後來進了博物館看了說明,才知道原來頭在右邊。萊特兄弟當年一定想不到後來的飛機設計居然會跟他們的設計前後顛倒。
