    Wilbur and Orville Wright. During 1904
    they used it to make a total of 105
    flights, ultimately achieving flights
    lasting five minutes and also making
    full circles, which was accomplished by
    Wilbur for the first time on September
    20.

    Wright flyer 3

    The Wright Flyer III was the third


    powered aircraft by the 
    Wright Brothers, built during the
    winter of 1904–05. Orville Wright
     made the first flight with it on June 23,
    1905. The Flyer III had an airframe of
    spruce construction with a wing 
    camber of 1-in-20 as used in 1903,
    rather than the less effective 1-in-25
    used in 1904. The new machine was
    equipped with the engine and other
    hardware from the scrapped Flyer II
     and—after major modifications—
    achieved much greater performance
    than Flyers I and II.
