SUNSET — Kate Jeffrey discovered the propellers on the Wright plane actually went on the back instead of the front so they could help push the contraption into the air.
The eighth-grader at Sunset Junior High School recently made her own Wright flyer model that is now on display at Ogden’s Union Station along with projects from her classmates.
“I thought the whole invention was fascinating,” Kate said. “The plane I made was out of Styrofoam, toothpicks, hot glue and duct tape. The most challenging part was building it, because it had to be exact.”
