The 1909 Wright Military Flyer was built by the Wright Brothers for demonstration to the U.S. Army Signal Corps, which offered a contract of $25,000 for an aircraft capable of flying at 40 mph (64 km/h) with two people on board for a distance of 125 miles (200 km). The aircraft was demonstrated successfully at Fort Myer, Virginia. The plane is now on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
