Modern airplanes began to take shape in the early 20th century, with significant advancements occurring after the Wright brothers' first powered flight in 1903. The development of all-metal aircraft, retractable landing gear, and more powerful engines in the 1920s and 1930s marked a turning point. By the end of World War II, in the late 1940s, jets like the Boeing 707 and de Havilland Comet introduced a new era of commercial aviation, solidifying the modern airplane's design and functionality.
