The first successful powered airplane, the Wright Flyer, was invented by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903. After years of research and experimentation with gliders, they developed a powered aircraft with a 12-horsepower engine and a wingspan of 40 feet. On December 17, 1903, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the Wright Flyer made its historic first flight, covering 120 feet in 12 seconds, marking the beginning of the era of aviation. Their innovations in control systems and aerodynamics laid the groundwork for modern flight.
