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.

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)
They build 4
They made at least 2 gliders before their first powered aircraft.
they invented bikesThe Wright brothers DID NOT invent "the airplane" OR bikes !They built THEIR airplane (NOT the first airplane) in 1902.
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.
The very first airplanes were gliders.
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.
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.
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.
No, there were many aircraft built before theirs
