Orville and Wilbur Wright built the first airplane that flew under its own power, so they are usually called the inventors of the airplane. What the Wright Brothers actually invented was a gasoline engine light enough to put on an airplane; the first "flying machine" was the glider of Sir George Cayel. The combination of Cayel's glider and the Wrights' engine created the powered airplane. (And seriously, Cayel took the glider idea of Leonardo DaVinci and made one that flew.) And that is the story of most inventions: a person takes something that someone else thought up and makes a better or more useful product from it.
