So you can travel faster. The Wright Brothers invented flight.
They didn't invent radar, TV, angled flight decks, jet engines, bagpipes or haggis.
They were the first ones to achieve powered flight.
the black box flight recorder
The Wright brothers weren't the first people to pioneer flight but were the first to make a successful powered flight.
Little. He did not invent new technologies nor did he prove any major feat was possible with his solo trans-Atlantic flight.
The first heavier than air flight, which was by the Wright brothers was in 1903.
They made the first airplane (with an engine.) They did not actually invent flight.
before 1931 when he did the flight with Wiley Post and when he patented it
The Chinese did not invent the hot air balloon. The first recorded flight of a hot air balloon was in 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France.
The Wright brothers were compelled to invent the first successful powered aircraft due to their interest in aviation and a desire to achieve manned flight. They were motivated by the challenge of overcoming the existing limitations of flight technology and believed that they could make a significant contribution to aeronautical engineering.
Paul Cournu invented (designed and built) the first helicopter to perform a manned free flight. In other words, it was the first to acheive free flight while carrying a passenger.
No. This was done long before, but is credited largely to the Montgolfier brothers for manned flight.
