Best Answer

Technically the first test of the plane Wilbur Wright flew the plane then when they thought they fixed the plane Orville Wright flew it so he can show everyone what he and his brother built.

Orville and Wilbur tossed a coin to decide who would take up the first flight, and Orville Wright won the toss and flew the world's first airplane, THE FLYER.

This answer is wrong, the first controlled flight was performed in France prior to any of the Wight brothers, by Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont, for whom the local airport in Rio is named.

Orville. Got this from history.com, the History Channel's website:

Orville piloted the gasoline-powered, propeller-driven biplane, which stayed aloft for 12 seconds and covered 120 feet on its inaugural flight.

Orville Wright was in the pilot's seat for the first manned, motor-powered flight of a heavier-than-air craft. He was in the air for 12 seconds, traveling 120 feet.
