The Wright Flyer, the first powered aircraft, achieved a maximum speed of about 6.8 miles per hour (11 km/h) during its first successful flight on December 17, 1903. This historic flight lasted 12 seconds and covered a distance of 120 feet (36.5 meters). Subsequent flights by the Wright brothers showed slightly higher speeds, but the Flyer was primarily notable for its groundbreaking achievement rather than speed.
