How long did it take the aircraft to reach takeoff speed? Let's not do "original research", i.e., guessing
'''Kitty Hawk''', located by the [[Atlantic Ocean]] in the State of [[North Carolina]], was the site of the first successful motor-powered manned flight by [[Orville Wright]] on December 17, 1903. The first flight lasted 12 seconds and the airplane flew 120 feet. The whole first flight could have taken place inside the modern-day U.S. Aero Spacelines [[Super Guppy]] cargo plane which is 143 feet long.

Later that same day, Orville's brother [[Wilbur Wright]] flew the same aircraft 852 feet in 49 seconds.
