Lesson plan
Wright Model EX
The Wright Model EX is an early biplane built by the Wright Brothers. It is a scaled-down, single-seat derivative of the Wright Model B designed specifically for exhibition flying (hence the "EX" designation). Two examples were built. One of them—the Vin Fiz Flyer—in 1911 became the first aircraft to fly coast-to-coast across the U.S., a journey that took almost three months.
