The Wright brothers, Orville (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912), were two American brothers, inventors,
and aviation pioneers who were credited with inventing and building the world´s first successful airplane and making the first controlled,
powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on December 17, 1903. From 1905 to 1907, the brothers developed their flying machine into the first
practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft
controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible. Wikipedia-Link: Wright brothers |
