BROUGHT TO YOU BY…

Throughout history, trivia has always been more than a game.

In ancient Greece, scholars tested each other’s wit in symposiums. In 12th-century Baghdad, thinkers debated questions in bustling libraries. Even in medieval Europe, monarchs used riddles and logic games to assess the sharpness of their advisors.

Today, a new chapter in that centuries-old tradition is being written, one that blends human curiosity with cutting-edge Web3 technology.

We’re proud to announce the launch of the MOT Token on GeckoTerminal, the official utility token of the Masters of Trivia platform. Built on the Solana blockchain and backed by a thriving global community of over 200,000 players, MOT is the first step in transforming trivia into an economic, educational, and social engine for the 21st century.

👉 The Token is now live on DEX (decentralized exchanges): secure them tokens early: See MOT Token »

Engineering Flight

👉 Marquee Event

At Kitty Hawk, the Wright brothers complete four powered, controlled flights — inaugurating the aviation age. Orville’s first: 120 ft / 12 s.

📌 Why This Matters

The breakthrough wasn’t raw horsepower; it was control. Three-axis control plus a workable airframe and prop system transformed risky glides into repeatable piloting, the difference between a stunt and an industry.

Innovation Stack

• Wind-tunnel data to fix flawed lift/drag tables.

• Three-axis control: wing-warping (roll), elevator (pitch), rudder (yaw).

• Lightweight engine + efficient propellers designed as rotating wings.

• Operational mastery via 1902 glider training.

Beyond the Dunes

Patent battles, demonstration flights in Europe and the U.S., and the transition from Flyer to practical aircraft turned a field experiment into a market. Military adoption and civil air routes followed.

🎯 How Much Do You Know About The Wright Brothers?

Every modern aircraft — from airliners to quadcopters — traces lineage to those control principles. The next frontier (electric, hydrogen, autonomy) still stands on Wright-era fundamentals: stability, control, efficiency.
