The Wright Brothers are generally considered the first achieve powered flight. Done so on December, 17th 1903.
There are arguments that Richard Pearse had done so in the spring of 1903.
They were the first ones to achieve powered flight.
The first powered flight was in a plane designed by the Wright Brother's, who called it the Wright Flyer.
The Wright brothers were credited with that achievement.
The Wright brothers weren't the first people to pioneer flight but were the first to make a successful powered flight.
The first engine-powered airplane was invented by the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, in the United States. They achieved their first successful powered flight on December 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This historic flight marked the beginning of the aviation era, as their aircraft, the Wright Flyer, was the first to carry a pilot and sustain controlled, powered flight.
To prove that heavier-than-air flight was possible.

The Wright brothers' first airplane, the Wright Flyer, was not a powered, heavier-than-air craft; it was indeed a powered, heavier-than-air airplane. It was also not the first aircraft to achieve sustained flight, as the Wright Flyer successfully made its first powered flight on December 17, 1903. Additionally, it did not have a closed cockpit, as it was an open-frame design.
The first powered airplane flight took place on December 17, 1903, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Orville and Wilbur Wright successfully flew their aircraft, the Wright Flyer, achieving a distance of 120 feet in 12 seconds during the first flight. This historic event marked the beginning of the era of powered aviation.
Wilbur and Orville Wright.
The Wright brothers' first powered airplane, the Wright Flyer, flew for 12 seconds during its maiden flight on December 17, 1903. It covered a distance of 120 feet (36.5 meters) during that time. This historic flight marked the beginning of powered aviation.
It was by the two brothers that made the first airplane. They are commonly known as the Wright brothers.
