Best Answer

Leonardo Davinci. He never had a working model or even a model for that matter - but he still designed one.
the wright brothers == While the Wright brother made the first WORKING aircraft, Leonardo da vinci designed the first one. It's in his notebooks.

It might be necessary for you to clarify what you mean by "successful." If you are referring to the first successful AIRPLANE FLIGHT, then that would be the one the Wright Brothers made on December 17, 1903 at Kitty Hawk NC. But, if you are referring to the first FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL airplane, then I don't have an answer for you, at this time.
