13
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.120
We'll be right back with these high flying answers after
14
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:29.680
this break. Welcome back, trivia fans. Let's reveal today's answers.

00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:35.079
Question one, How long was the Right brothers first powered flight? Answer?

Twelve seconds, covering one hundred twenty feet on December seventeenth,
17
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.200
nineteen oh three. Orville Wright piloted the right flier for
18
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.200
this brief but historic flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
19
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.200
While remarkably short by today's standards, this flight proved that
20
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.599
controlled powered human flight was possible. The brothers made three
21
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.239
more flights that day, with the longest lasting fish fifty
22
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.920

five B from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland to Colmore, Northern Ireland
27
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.199
in fourteen hours and fifty six minutes. She faced strong
28
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.800
northerly winds, icy conditions, and mechanical problems, but persevered to
29
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.199
become the first woman and only the second person after
30
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.319
Charles Lindberg, to fly solo NonStop across the Atlantic. Question three.
31

was named after his financial backers. From Saint Louis, Missouri.
34
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.120
On May twentieth to twenty first, nineteen twenty seven, Lindberg
35
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.840
flew it from Roosevelt Field in New York to La
36
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.800
Bourge Field in Paris to bring three thousand, six hundred
37
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.199
miles and thirty three point five hours, and claiming the
38
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.639
twenty five thousand dollars Ortigue Prize for the first NonStop
39
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:13.639
flight between New York and Paris. Question four. Which jet
40
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.879
was the first wide body commercial aircraft? Answer? The Boeing
41
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.400
seven forty seven, often called the jumbo jet. The Boeing
42
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:26.039
seven forty seven made its commercial debut with Pan American
43
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.639
World Airways in January nineteen seventy. Its distinctive hump shaped
44
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:35.680
upper deck and massive size revolutionized air travel, dramatically reducing
45
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.000
the cost per seat and making international travel more accessible.
46
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.120
The seven forty seven was the world's largest passenger aircraft
47
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.719
until the introduction of the Airbus A three eighty in
48
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:53.120
two thousand seven. Question five. What was NASA's first space shuttle? Answer? Enterprise,
49
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.840
completed in nineteen seventy six. The enterprise was originally to
50
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.199
be named Constitution, but a massive letter writing camp pain
51
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.319
by Star Trek fans convinced NASA to name it after
52
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.319
the fictional starship. The Enterprise was used for atmospheric test
53
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:11.919
flights and landing tests, but unlike subsequent shuttles, was not
54
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.759
equipped for spaceflight. It never flew in orbit, but helped
55
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.800
prove the shuttle's designed before the Columbia became the first
56
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.600
shuttle to reach space in nineteen eighty one. That concludes
