The Wright Flyer was equipped with a 12-horsepower, four-cylinder inline engine designed and built by the Wright brothers themselves. This lightweight engine was constructed from aluminum, making it both strong and relatively light, which was crucial for flight. The engine used a unique chain-and-sprocket system to drive the propellers, enabling the Flyer to achieve its first powered flight on December 17, 1903.
