Best Answer

People have wanted to fly since the dawn of man. Surely even neanderthal man watched birds flying and wished he could do the same.

The Wright brothers had an intense interest in flying things since boyhood when their father gave them a flying toy. In addition to the obvious prestige in making such a historic first, the wright brothers must also have been motivated by the commercial possibilities of powered flight.

Indeed, the Wright brothers built a very successful business on their innovations, and history has shown that powered flight has in fact become an enormously important part of our modern economy.

Because they thought flying was a commercial proposition that they could take part in.
