What was the name of the aviation company founded by the Wright brothers in 1909?

The Wright Company was the aviation company founded by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1909.

The company was established after the brothers’ successful aircraft demonstrations, patent battles, and growing demand for airplanes and pilot training. Its business included aircraft manufacture, sales, flight instruction, and related aviation activities. Wilbur served as president, while Orville was closely involved in engineering and operations.

The company became part of the expanding American aviation industry and operated a flying school at Huffman Field near Dayton. It also employed or trained several notable early aviators. After Wilbur died in 1912, Orville continued his involvement, although he eventually left active business management.

The Wright Company should not be confused with later companies using the Wright name, especially Wright Aeronautical Corporation, which emerged after corporate mergers and became associated with aircraft engines.
