Sometimes an invention starts with having the "idea." A man has the idea that people might want a certain kind of machine or product, and then he proceeds to "invent" it. But when it comes to the airplane, the "idea" has been one of man's oldest dreams. The idea of flying has fascinated men since ancient days. In fact, one of our most famous legends tells of Icarus, who fastened wings to his body with wax and flew off! As he soared toward the sun, however, the wax melted and he fell to his death. Icarus is a symbol of man's striving to new heights. Leonardo da vinci, who was also quite an inventor, made sketches of a flying machine that used manpower, and other artists and "dreamers" had the idea of an airplane hundreds of years ago. The earliest flying machines that were made had no power.
Answer
Leonardo da Vinci had early drawings of a "flying machine," but until the late 1800s, there were no successful flights. The Wright brothers have been credited with the first plane that actually flew.
