- Video Description
- Who really built the first aircraft engine? While the Wright brothers are celebrated for the first powered flight, the true mastermind behind the engine was Charles E. Taylor, the unsung hero of early aviation. In this video, we dive deep into the story of Taylor, the Wright brothers' trusted machinist, who designed and built the 12-horsepower aluminum engine that powered the 1903 Wright Flyer. Taylor's groundbreaking work in aeronautical engineering revolutionized aviation, yet his contributions remain largely unknown. Discover how, in just six weeks, he handcrafted the lightweight but powerful engine that changed history. We’ll explore how aircraft engines evolved, from this first creation to modern jet propulsion. Whether you're an aircraft engineer, aircraft technician, aviation student, pilot, or an aviation enthusiast, this video breaks down the engineering genius behind the first aircraft engine and why Charles E. Taylor’s legacy is celebrated on Aviation Maintenance Technician Day (May 24th).
