The first powered airplane, the Wright Flyer, built by Orville and Wilbur Wright, had a wingspan of 40 feet 4 inches (12.3 meters) and weighed about 605 pounds (274 kilograms). It was designed to carry a pilot and had a simple structure made primarily of wood and fabric. The Flyer successfully made its first flight on December 17, 1903, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
