They were the first to produce powered flight that was able to carry a human. They are often credited with the invention of powered flight but this was invented by John Stringfellow of Chard, Somerset, England, who produced a steam powered, heavier-than-air plane (yes - steam powered!) a prototype of which he flew for the public at Crystal Palace, London in 1868.
The Wright brothers produced the first plane able to carry a human making their first flight on 17th December 1903, 25 years later than Stringfellow. They were also the first to make the controls for a plane that would make such a flight possible. Their initial flight was shorter than the current wingspan of a Jumbo Jet Boeing 747.
