The Wright Brothers competed with other inventors such as Samuel Langley and Glenn Curtiss in the race to achieve powered flight.
The Wright brothers made the first provable, powered, controlled flight in 1903.
The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, are credited with inventing and successfully flying the first powered aircraft on December 17, 1903. Their airplane, the Wright Flyer, achieved sustained flight for 12 seconds over a distance of 120 feet. While other inventors and pioneers experimented with flight before them, the Wright brothers were the first to achieve controlled, powered flight.
The Wright Flyer I was the first powered airplane. It was made out of spruce, a strong but lightweight wood.
The Wrights did NOT fly the 'first airplane' . The Wright brothers were the first to achieve controlled powered flight. Gliders, man-made wings, and balloons were around long before the flight of the Wright Brothers flying machine, the Flyer I, on December 17, 1903, at Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk NC.

The Wright brothers.
The Wright brothers' first airplane, the Wright Flyer, was not a powered, heavier-than-air craft; it was indeed a powered, heavier-than-air airplane. It was also not the first aircraft to achieve sustained flight, as the Wright Flyer successfully made its first powered flight on December 17, 1903. Additionally, it did not have a closed cockpit, as it was an open-frame design.
The Wright Brothers were motivated by a desire to achieve powered flight and make a significant contribution to the field of aviation. They were driven by a passion for innovation, a belief in the potential of flight, and a determination to conquer the challenges of controlled, sustained flight.
The Wright brothers first airplane was a glider, -wind powered.
