Gliders had been around for quite some time, but couldn't go very far. With an engine onboard, flying became a lot more useful.
They were the first ones to achieve powered flight.
The Wright brothers weren't the first people to pioneer flight but were the first to make a successful powered flight.
The Wright Brothers Invented it in 1901
The Wright brothers first airplane was a glider, -wind powered.
the airplane
Wright brothers did not invent the airplane. They built the first one that flew, there is a difference.
1903 The Wrights didn't invent the first airplane. -They built and flew the first powered, controllable aircraft. -Many men had built different aircraft before them, but none were successful at long, controlled flight.
yes they did invent the first powered planes
The Wright brothers invented their glider to fulfill their ambition of achieving powered flight. They used the glider to test their ideas on aerodynamics and control systems that would later be incorporated into their first powered airplane.
