The history of the development of flight is littered with wreckage. The first planes were usually flawed in some way. It's actually trickier than you would think designing a machine that will stay aloft for more than a few seconds and not come crashing down with a nasty thump.
Some of the reasons:
- too many wings attached and the wings all caved in
- wrong wing size, too short so there was not enough lift to get off the ground
- wing structure not sturdy enough resulting in the wings disintegrating
- engines not powerful enough to lift the craft off the ground
- craft unbalanced because weight distribution was wrong.
- really, really, really impractical design
