Best Answer

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.
