Built and flew the first motor driven airplane?
The Wright brothers
These brothers flew the first airplane?
Wilbur did...alsomore info..--------> A man named Otto Lilienthal inspired the Wright brothers to build their first airplane. He glided on a hill in a big kite-type thing called a hang glider. The brothers really liked this idea and kept thinking about it.When building airplanes, the brothers knew the plane had three requirements to meet. It would need wings to lift it in the air, power to propel it, and a way to control it. The Wrights had the most difficult time figuring out how to control the plane. The plane needed to go up and down, and side to side. Other inventors like Lilienthal and Chanute had previous success with the wings and power. Orville and Wilbur knew that it was very important to be able to control the plane. They knew the pilot needed to keep the plane balanced just like a person riding a bike needed to keep the bike balanced. They thought about how a bird flies and wanted the plane to operate like a flying bird.they had a successful experiment on december 17, 1903 creating an airplane. before the wright brothers, scientists has had numerous attemps to create an airplane and get it to work. these included kites, hot air balloons, air ships, gliders, etc. the first airplane evermade (by the wright brothers) flew only 10 feet off the ground and travled 120 feet and landed 12 seconds after take off.The Wright brothers were the first people to make a motor-powered airplane that could carry one pilot. The brothers flew their first successful plane on December 17, 1903. The airplane could fit one person and that was the pilot. The pilot had to lay down in the airplane. Wilbur flew their longest flight. It was 852 feet and was flown in 59 seconds. the first airplane was made of wood, metal and fabric to strech the wings.
Who piloted the first airplane flight Orville Wright or Wilbur?
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.
Where was the electric motor first invented?
An experimental model was invented in 1827.
When did Michael Faraday invent the electric motor?
In 1821, Michael Faraday built a machine that made a piece of metal move due to the flow of electricity. Although the amount of motion was small, this was the first published design of an electric motor. All subsequent developments in the use of electricity to make motors work came out of this invention. The first electric motor able to turn machinery was built by William Sturgeon in 1832.
