The Wright brothers built many more aircraft after the Wright flyer. In fact, they founded an aircraft manufacturing company, Wright Aeronautical which later merged with Curtissto become Curtiss-Wright, a company which still exists, although only as a component manufacturer.
The original Wright Flyer held no passengers, only the pilot.
Their very first successful flight went exactly 259.6 meters.
The first powered aircraft with a name seems to be the "Wright Flyer I" ... although they built and flew many gliders before that.
While the Wright brothers built and experimented with several gliders and kites to test their theories, the Wright Flyer was actually their first powered prototype.

The first successful powered airplane is attributed to the Wright brothers and their airplane the Wright Flyer. It should be noted that no single person invented the airplane and it was a collaboration of many advances in aeronautics by many pioneers from around the world that led to the Wright brothers' success.
Wright means a worker, builder, or maker. There are many people with the last name Wright as well. The people are Charles Wright, Joseph Wright, and James Wright.
Throughout history man has wanted to soar above the earth like a bird. Attempts had been made by many but the Wright Brothers are recognised as the first to create a means for man to finally fly.
