The influence of the first plane on later generations;
No matter how many stories about flying, experiments and success were reported before the Wright brothers, there is no doubt that the Wright brothers made the greatest contribution to the invention of the airplane. When evaluating the two of them, the first consideration is the importance of the plane itself. It is true that the invention of the airplane is not as important as printing or steam engine, because the latter two completely changed the way of human existence.
However, since airplanes can be used for both war and peace, this invention is also of great significance. In the past 100 years, airplanes have reduced our huge planet into a small world. In addition, the success of the Wright brothers' manned flight laid the foundation for today's space navigation.
For hundreds of years, people have been dreaming of flying into the sky. But in fact, they think Aladdin's flying carpet is just a dream that cannot exist in the real world. However, the genius creation of the Wright brothers turned the dream of mankind from myth to reality.
