The first airplane in the world was invented by the Wright brothers.
Wright Brothers are famous American inventors. Their elder brother is Wilbur Wright (April 16, 1867-May 12, 1912) and their younger brother is Orville Wright (August 19, 1871-January 3, 1948). On December 17th, 193, the Wright brothers made the first test flight of a completely controlled, self-powered, heavier-than-air, and continuously stuck in the air, which was the world's first plane, Voyager I..
from 194 to 195, the Wright brothers successively produced "Flyer 2" and "Flyer 3". On May 26th, 194, Voyager II made its first test flight. On October 5, 195, Voyager 3 made the longest test flight, flying 38.6 kilometers, leaving it blank for up to 38 minutes-this shows that the Wright brothers' plane has solved the balance and control problems well. In 196, the Wright brothers' patent application for aircraft in the United States was recognized.
Extended information
No matter how many reports about flight, experiment and success were made before the Wright brothers, there is no doubt that the Wright brothers made the greatest contribution to the invention of aircraft. 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.
But since airplanes can be used for both war and peace, this invention is also of great significance. In the past hundred years, airplanes have shrunk 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 dreamed of flying into the sky. But in fact, they think that Aladdin's flying carpet is just a dream that can't exist in the real world. However, the genius creation of the Wright brothers turned the past dream of mankind from myth into reality.
