For many years, countless engineers around the world tried in vain to create a motor-operated airplane. That all changed in 1903 when the Wright Brothers Wright Flyer took flight at Kitty Hawk, and the rest is aviation history.

What exactly was the genius of these two bicycle engineers from Dayton, Ohio, that eluded so many engineers, many who were much smarter than Orville and Wilbur? Peter Jakab of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum notes that the success of the Wright Brothers was based on their ability to methodically solve the various aerodynamic problems and principles by analyzing them separately.

What the Wright Brothers achieved set in motion all that followed in terms of aviation. Rather than trying to address the aerodynamics of lift and thrust singularly, by separating them, only then was the Wright Flyer able to become the airplane that would change the course of world history.

For the longest time, the Israel/Palestinian problem was seen as a singular problem focusing on Israel and its so-called occupation. The assumption was that Israel could not achieve peace with the greater Arab world until the Palestinian issue was solved.
