Yes. The Wright brothers weren't the only ones trying to develop an airplane, and they were far from the first to create a flying machine--George Cayley, a Briton, made a glider with "flappers" for power in the early 1800s. I think if the Wrights wouldn't have worked on airplanes, someone else would have figured out you can put a gasoline engine on a glider and have an airplane that can take off and land under its own power.
