Utah State Wright Flyer to be Featured on History Channel 

The Utah State University Wright Flyer will be featured on The History Channel's The Wright Challenge, Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. MST.

The show follows four teams from around the country when they take up the challenge to build and fly replicas of the 1903 Wright Flyer to commemorate 100 years of flight.

"This show is an adventure story," said Rick Beyer, producer of The Wright Challenge and owner of Smash Entertainment. "The most exciting part is the viewer gets to go on the same adventures as these people who are building these planes. It is exciting to watch and figure out which team to root for and see how it will work out in the end."

The USU Wright Flyer story is a large portion of the special, as the audience anticipates whether the Utah State team has the “Wright stuff” to get its flyer off the ground. The documentary follows the Utah State team’s failures and successes.
