Yes, the Wright brothers built and successfully tested the first airplane, but I think that Leonardo da vinci made plans for something that resembled an airplane. If it's for homework then go with the Wright brothers.
They invented the airplane.
No one discovered the airplane. The brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright invented, built, and successfully flew the first airplane.
Wright brothers did not invent the airplane. They built the first one that flew, there is a difference.

An Airplane
Designs for winged flight go back to Ancient Egypt. Si George Cayley built and launched manned gliders around 1849. The first powered aeroplane to make a flight was built by Orville and Wilbur Wright. On 17 December 1903 near Kittyhawk, North Carolina, Orville piloted the "Wright Flyer" in a flight of 120 feet in 12 seconds, at a speed of 6.8 miles per hour.
The one that was made by the Wright brothers.
No one they did it themselves.
