Abstract A pair of self-taught engineers working in a bicycle shop opened the era of aviation when their plane first took to the air nearly a century ago. Before that time, no one in aviation seemed to do anything right, but since that time, no one has done anything fundamentally different. The Wright Brothers accomplished this feat employing innovative design techniques that they themselves pioneered. Helping to recreate the propellers that once helped lift Orville Wright off the sands of Kitty Hawk, one reverse engineering company is using its own brand of technology to follow in the brothers' footsteps. A Virginia-based company that rebuilds old airplanes approached Direct Dimensions, Inc. (Baltimore, MD) - a rapid solutions company - to say that they were rebuilding the Wright Brothers' plane for the 100th anniversary of the flight in 2003 and could they help them measure and reverse CAD model the original propellers into a full-scale, complex, 3-D surface model.
