A piece of the Wright brothers’ first airplane will take flight once again on April 8.
NBC News reports that NASA’s experimental Mars-bound helicopter, dubbed Ingenuity, features a postage stamp sized swatch of fabric from the Wright Flyer, a craft that flew for the first time in 1903.
According to CNN, the fabric was taken from one of the Wright Flyer’s wings and is now attached to a cable beneath the helicopter’s solar panel.
