Alberto Santos Dumout One cannot actually call it invention. The Wright Brothers ore the only inventors. The rest are copiers.
No they invented the biplane as well
Strangely enough, the Wright Brothers did not invent the airplane! Don't believe it? Do your homework. Airplane flights of 2 hours and longer were quite common before the Brothers got off the ground. Technology and Physics of lift and wing shapes was already proven and in use. Getting airborne with self-contained power was the only missing link.
100 feet up in the air; lasted only 12 seconds
.The first person to successfully fly a powered airplane was Orville Wright, on September 17, 1903. It only lasted 12 seconds, but that was long enough to prove that the Wright Brothers, Orviille and Wilbur, had succeeded in inventing the first successful airplane.
the wright brothers were the first in the world to create a self sustained and self controlled flight via the huge canard (rear propelled) plane. So yes, the wright flyer was the first working airplane in the world, not only the U.S.
Cars can only go where there are roads, airplanes can go anywhere.
Many aircraft were created, flown short distances and crashed during the late 1890's and early 1900's. -The Wright brothers were by no means the inventors of the first aeroplane -as appears to be popularly thought in American schools.
No, many people thought it was a great invention although it was a short filght, people figured that with a bit of improvement, it would achieve "wonders"
False
The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, invented and built the airplane to achieve their dream of powered flight and to advance human transportation. Motivated by their fascination with aviation and inspired by earlier pioneers, they conducted extensive research and experimentation. Their successful invention aimed to solve the challenges of controlled flight, ultimately culminating in their historic first powered flight in 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This breakthrough not only fulfilled their ambitions but also laid the foundation for modern aviation.
The Wright Brothers were only one group of many who were trying to invent a powered airplane, and all of them were inspired by Otto Lilienthal, a German inventor who created gliders and flew on them. (Lilienthal also helped to invent the Fatal Airplane Crash, but that is a story for another time.) Lilienthal had to take off from a hill, had to fly only as the wind allowed him to and could only fly short distances. All the airplane inventors realized that if the airplane was to be a useful tool rather than a fun toy you had to be able to go when, where and as far as you wanted...and that meant putting an engine on it.
