Inspiring Future Generations From the first manned flight at Kitty Hawk to the lunar landing at the Sea of Tranquility and beyond, Alcoa solutions have helped shape every major advance in aviation. Alcoa metal went into the crankcase of the Wright Brothers’ Flyer and into the propeller that pulled Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis across the Atlantic. And we helped make commer- cial flight profitable with weight-saving alloys for the DC3. Alcoa’s tradition of innovation has helped break the sound barrier, put a man on the moon, and make space travel possible. As part of its commitment to communities, Alcoa will support and encourage a number of community, education, and Web-based initia- tives to underscore the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers’ first flight in 1903. These initiatives will help inspire future generations to reach new frontiers.
