It isn't possible to put a number to how many gliders were built. People were experimenting with gliders all over the world for a long time.

A number of people had built gliders; they could jump from a hill and fly down, but it wasn't "powered" flight. Orville and Wilbur Wright built the first heavier-than-air craft that could take off under its own power.
The Hot Air Balloon was first created in 1782 by the Montgolfier brothers and then first piloted in late 1783 it was the first successful flying invention of its kind.
The Wright brothers built and flew gliders before their first successful powered flight.
Orville piloted the 'Flyer' on the first of it's historic flights.
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.
It was called the Freedom 7 and it was piloted by Alan B. Shepherd.
The first piloted helicopter was invented by Paul Cornu in 1907 and it was not successful. One of the first successful helicopters was built by Etienne Oehmichen in 1924 and flew for 1 kilometer.
