Wright Brother’s Plane

The Wright Flyer (often referred to as Flyer I or 1903 Flyer) made the first sustained flight by a manned heavier-than-air powered and controlled aircraft—an airplane.[2] Invented by the Wright brothers, it was flown by them four times on 17 December 1903, near Kill Devil Hills, about 4 miles (6 kilometers) south of Kitty Hawk, North Car’solina. Today, the airplane is exhibited in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. Its flights marked the beginning of the “pioneer era” of aviation.
