He madeover 2000 glides experimenting with various forms of winged craft.  His glides were  from an artificial hill he built near Berlin</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" title="Berlin"></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">, and also from natural hills, especially in the Rhinow</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinow" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" title="Rhinow"></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> region.

His first flight lasted only one minute 45 seconds, but his ability to effortlessly make banking turns and fly a circle amazed and stunned onlookers. The demonstrations were attended by several crowned heads of Eurpoe including King Edward VII. Also present were pioneer French aviators, among them Louis Bleriot. In the following days Wilbur made a series of technically challenging flights including figure-eights, demonstrating his skills as a pilot and the capability of his flying machine, which far surpassed those of all other pilot pioneers.<span style=""> </span>The plane was a two seater so Wilbur carried passengers on some flights.<span style=""> </span>On one occasion he remained in the air for 2 hours and 20 minutes and won a prize of 20,000 francs offered by the French patron M.
