Best Answer

The first successful flight was by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903.

The first powered, controlled, heavier-than-air airplane flew at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on December 17, 1903. This "first" is recognized by both the NAA (National Aeronautic Association) and the FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale), international record keeping organizations for aviation and aerospace records. However, there have been numerous attempts at powered flight prior to the Wright Brothers, some with limited success.
