When and who invented the first airplane in the world?

For a long time, there are two completely different views about who invented the first airplane in the world. One was invented by Russian Mozhaiski. For example, in the book A Brief History of the Soviet Union edited by the former Soviet historian nosov, it is directly written that Russian military engineer Yafei Mozhaiski (1825- 1890) made the world's first airplane. In the General History of the Soviet Union, edited by another former Soviet historian, Nechkina also said that the maker of the first Russian plane was Mozhaiski. The rear admiral spent a long time carefully designing his own plane and preparing to fly. He built a monoplane. This kind of aircraft has fuselage, wings, landing gear, power plant, horizontal and vertical control systems, which are all the main components of modern aircraft. 188 1 year, Moses invented the' airplane' and obtained a patent license. 1882 On July 20th, the first test flight of the world's first airplane was held in Hongcun, near Petersburg. One witness wrote: "Mozhaiski's plane glided on wheels on the ground and then flew like a bird.". According to the "General History of the World" edited by the Academy of Sciences of the former Soviet Union, the aircraft trial-produced by Mozhaiski used a steam engine in 1882- 1885. After the advent of his plane, G Adel was in France on 1890- 1893. From 1892 to 1894, Hai Maxim also tested the first plane with a steam engine in the United States. The second one was invented by the Wright brothers in America. In The New Modern History of the Cambridge World, it is written that two American inventors, wilbur wright (1867- 19 12) and Orville Wright (1871-1944). Some people in China academic circles think that the Wright brothers invented the world's first airplane. Because the practical value of using steam to drive aircraft is not great, with the invention of internal combustion engine, people pay attention to the trial production of aircraft driven by internal combustion engine. 1896, German designer G. Delfeldt put the internal combustion engine using liquid fuel on the airship for the first time. The improvement of internal combustion engine and the rapid development of flight theory and technology have prepared the necessary conditions for the manufacture of modern aircraft. In this case, at the beginning of the 20th century, the Wright brothers, who were born in a priest's family, observed and studied aircraft since childhood and dared to fly, began to develop an aircraft powered by an internal combustion engine and operated by people. They overcame many difficulties and made a 12 horsepower internal combustion engine that met the flight requirements, and the propeller was driven by a chain. This gasoline-powered internal combustion engine is light and compact. This plane is made of wood and cloth. 19031February 17, the Wright brothers arrived at the sand dunes near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and began their test flight. The first two take-offs failed. Then Orville took off with the plane, flying in the air for 12 seconds, with a flying distance of 120 feet and a height of 3 meters from the ground. The test flight of the world's first internal combustion engine plane was successful! 1906, Wilbur obtained an American patent. After his death, his brother Orville continued to improve the performance of the plane. 1943, Orville presented the plane developed by him and his brother * * * to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Five years later, it was exhibited to the world as a permanent exhibit. There is a sign on the plane with a striking line: "The plane was first invented by the Wright brothers".
