The first successful airplane, the Wright Flyer, built by the Wright brothers in 1903, consisted of several key components: a lightweight wooden frame, two wings made of covered fabric for lift, a horizontal stabilizer for balance, and a vertical rudder for steering. It was powered by a 12-horsepower engine they designed and built themselves, which drove two wooden propellers. Additionally, the airplane featured a system of control wires and a tail for stability during flight.
