Although other inventors had created powered and unpowered gliders, brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright are credited with the world's first successful manned flight of a heavier-than-air aircraft. Operators of a bicycle shop in Dayton OH, they made their first flight in the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903 at the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk, NC. The flight by Orville Wright lasted 12 seconds and covered a distance of 120 feet at 6.8 mph as Wilbur ran alongside.
