How have airplanes changed since the first airplane?
You could fill several volumes listing ALL the differences between the wright flyer and a modern-day airplane... But here are a few of the major differences. The wright flyer was constructed with wood and canvas whereas most modern planes are made of aluminum or modern composite materials. The wright flyer was of a canard-type design. With the elevators on the front of the aircraft. Most modern aircraft put the elevators on the tail of the aircraft. The wright flyer, rather than having ailerons like modern aircraft, simply warped the lightweight wings to achieve banking control. The wright flyer used a sprocket chain-drive like a bicycle to power to propellors from a single engine. This configuration is never used in modern aircraft. The wright flyer required a set of rails (made from 2x4s) to launch from rather than the wheeled landing gear you see on modern airplanes. Pilots flying the wright flyer lay head-first in a prone position. There was no cockpit as such, this is obviously much different than any modern aircraft. The wright flyer was controlled by the pilot using an odd "cradle" arrangement attached to his hips to actuate roll and yaw simultaneously. Modern aircraft use a yoke or a stick and rudder pedals.
When did the Wright brothers show interest in planes?
The Wrights first experience with flight was a bamboo toy helicopter that their father, Bishop Milton Wright, gave them. In designing the Wright Flyer, they used much of Otto Lienthal's research, as well as their own observations of bird's wings.
