90 million
As of recent estimates, about 30% of Americans have never flown on an airplane. This percentage translates to roughly 100 million people, considering the U.S. population. Factors contributing to this include cost, accessibility, and personal choice. Additionally, age and geographic location can influence flying habits among Americans.

Neither of the Wright brothers was the first man to fly an airplane. -Many men had flown, but for shorter distances, before they did.
The Wright brothers did NOT build the first airplane. -Many others had built an flown airplanes for short distances before them, mostly ending in crashes. The Wrights fame came from building and flying the first practical, powered airplane

There have been many people over 100 years of age that have flown in airplanes. No specific records of the oldest have been kept.
There are many people that improved the airplane. The airplane is still being improved today.
No, they did not. Many aircraft were built and tested and some even flown short distances before the Wright brother's flight.
A commercial airplane is an airplane that is being used in commercial service--where people are paying for the plane to be flown. ANY plane can be a commercial airplane; if you've got a business picking up X-rays from small airports then flying them to Rochester International Airport in Minnesota so a doctor from the Mayo Clinic can review them, and you use the cheapest Cessna you can get your hands on to do it, that Cessna is a commercial airplane. Having said that, usually "commercial airplane" means one that's large enough to carry many passengers or a lot of cargo.
A single person can build an airplane.
Never heard of that, and I know many, many aircraft.
