The Wright Brothers airplanes were made of wood and cloth. Modern airplanes have metal fuselages (which means that its a closed object, unlike older planes). Modern airplanes are pressurized, which means you can breath at high altitudes. Newer airplanes can carry much more passengers and has much more range. Most new airplanes have either turboprop, turbofan, or turbojet engines, which are much more fuel efficient, less noisy, and more reliable, whereas older airplanes used piston airplanes. They also have more sophisticated technology, such as fly by wire, turbulence avoidance, etc.
