It isn't possible to put a number to how many gliders were built. People were experimenting with gliders all over the world for a long time.

Did the Wright Brothers invent anything else than the airplane?
they invented bikesThe Wright brothers DID NOT invent "the airplane" OR bikes !They built THEIR airplane (NOT the first airplane) in 1902.
Builted the first airplane?
The first powered aeroplane built that actually flew was made by Wilbur and Orville Wright in 1903. But there were unpowered gliders built by people like Otto Lilienthal before this time that were able to fly (or glide)
What was the name of the first airplane the Wright brothers made?
The Wrights did NOT fly the 'first airplane' . The Wright brothers were the first to achieve controlled powered flight. Gliders, man-made wings, and balloons were around long before the flight of the Wright Brothers flying machine, the Flyer I, on December 17, 1903, at Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk NC.
What kind of work did Wilbur wright do before he became famous?
they built sled, kite, newspaper machine and then an airplane
Who was the first to get on an airplane?
The Wright Brothers in the early 1900's, who also built the first airplane

How many gliders were built before the wright brothers actually made a plane?
The Wright brothers built at least three gliders before the Wright Flyer. They built the gliders in 1900, 1901, and 1902. They incorporated in their design ideas from other pioneers of the time such as Augustus Herring, Otto Lilienthal, Octave Chanute, and George Cayley. Many gliders were built before the Wright brothers built their airplanes, but they were built by other pioneers.

How did the wright brothers figure out how to fly?
Even though they were not true scientists, only bicycle mechanics, they applied scientific research and built a wind tunnel to test different wing designs and then they built model gliders and tested them before attempting to build a man-powered airplane.
Was the blimp invented before the airplane?
The blimp was invented before the airplane. In 1852 Henri Giffard successfully built the first powered airship and in 1903 The Wright brothers successfully built the first powered airplane.
When did the Wright brothers build an airplane?
The first successful flight of a self-powered airplane was December 14, 1903. But they flew unmanned gliders as early as 1902. The Wright Bos built airplanes until 1912 (Wilbur died in a plane crash), but the Wright Bros. airplane company built airplanes for decades.
Did Orville and Wilbur Wright invent and fly the first airplane built?
The Wright brothers are credited with the fist fixed-wing airplane. They were not, however, the first to invent a flying machine. Many other people had built successful gliders, but the Wright brothers invented a fixed-wing plane that had controls which could actually make flight possible. Other planes before theirs could not steer or brake.
What did the Wright Brothers do that was so important?
They were the first to fly an airplane successfully. The Wright brothers were not brilliant scientists, however they used scientific test and analysis to develope new designs that allowed the airplane to fly. They built a wind tunnel and measured the forces on their wing designs. They built gliders that were flown like a kit and then gliders that could carry a person. They added an engine to it and were the first person to fly a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft.
Who invnted the aeroplane?
A lot of people. Orville and Wilbur Wright built the first one that flew and landed safely. The Wright Brothers succeeded where others failed by making a plane that could be controlled, and by learning to fly gliders before they tried flying a powered airplane.
Did the Wright brothers make the first airplane?
No, there were many aircraft built before theirs
How did the Wright brothers build gliders together?
They built gliders together by following the three axis control
