Wright.

First engine-powered aircraft flew on December 17th 1903, Kittyhawk, NC, USA. (Orville Wright, pilot)
The Wright Brothers
The first aircraft to have wings was the Wright Flyer, the first aeroplane to fly in 1901.
Charles Yeager was the first person ever to pilot an aircraft beyond the speed of sound.
The Wright Brothers did NOT actually INVENT the airplane. They were builders and experimenters who followed the experiments of other inventors and builders of the time, and modified and improved other designs. The Wrights were the first to fly, control and safely land a motorized aircraft carrying a human pilot.
The Wright brothers made the first successful powered airplane flight in 1903. Their invention demonstrated controlled flight by an aircraft with a pilot on board, pioneering the field of aviation. They also developed key innovations in aerodynamics that are still used in aircraft design today.
The first successful powered aircraft was the Wright Flyer built by the Wright brothers. I think the first flight was something like 12 seconds.
The first person to die in a powered aircraft on 17 September 1908 at Fort Myer, Virginia. Orville Wright was the pilot.
