The Wright brothers' plane, the Wright Flyer, launched in 1903, was a lightweight, fabric-covered biplane powered by a 12-horsepower engine, capable of a mere 120 feet of flight. In contrast, the Boeing 747, introduced in 1970, is a massive commercial jetliner, featuring advanced aerodynamics, a capacity for over 400 passengers, and four powerful jet engines, allowing for long-haul flights across continents. While the Wright Flyer represented the dawn of powered flight, the Boeing 747 embodies decades of technological advancements in aviation, including safety, efficiency, and passenger comfort.
