(UMT, Lahore, 2019) Hafiz Abdul Malik ,Umar Farooq and Muhammad Bin Khaleeq
Seeing birds flying in the air, people think that if birds can fly why a human cannot. In order to fulfil this wish, humans have made a lot of efforts which ranges from making kites, hydrogen balloons, many designs that were in the shape of birds and finally to aircraft. That evolution has taken the life of a thousand humans i.e. some people fell from kites from a tower and many other died in other tries. In the year 1903, the Wright brothers succeeded in making an aircraft that can properly fly. After this invention, the U.S. army find it a very useful tools specially in wars and in the year 1908, the U.S. army ordered wright brothers to make a two seater aircraft. When the aircraft was made then wright brothers made flight trials on the aircraft with army. When the first try was made, aircraft crashes and result in death of army officer. The purpose of this research is to examine the air crash that happened on 17th of September, 1908 and to investigate what were the reasons behind that air crash because in that air crash, an army officer was died and the pilot got injuries.
