Wright, Orville and Wilbur

Orville and Wilbur Wright were American inventors and aviation pioneers who achieved the first successful powered, controlled airplane flight in 1903. Their innovation involved designing a lightweight aircraft with an engine, wings, and steering capabilities, enabling sustained, controlled flight—a feat that was previously thought impossible. Their work laid the foundation for modern aviation, demonstrating that heavier-than-air flight could be practical and safe. The Wright brothers' combination of engineering, experimentation, and perseverance revolutionized transportation, connecting the world more closely and inspiring future advances in aircraft technology.
