Sir George Cayley
In 1799, the man known as the “Father of Aviation” drew up the earliest known plans for an aircraft that used a fixed-wing design with separate mechanisms for lift and thrust..
The modern age of powered flight began in 1903 when Orville Wright made the first sustained, powered flight on December 17 in a plane he and his brother Wilbur built..
The modern age of powered flight began in 1903 when Orville Wright made the first sustained, powered flight on December 17 in a plane he and his brother Wilbur built.
This twelve-second flight led to the development of the first practical airplane in 1905 and launched worldwide efforts to build better flying machines..
The pioneer era of aviation was the period of aviation history between the first successful powered flight, generally accepted to have been made by the Wright Brothers on 17 December 1903, and the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914..

First controlled, sustained flight in a powered airplane: was made by Orville Wright in the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903, covering 37 m (120 ft).
First circular flight by a powered airplane: was made by Wilbur Wright who flew 1,240 m (4,080 ft) in about a minute and a half on September 20, 1904..
The Wright Brothers and the World Wars
Nevertheless, in 1903, American brothers' Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first sustained, heavier-than-air flight from a manned powered machine.
The craft, called the Wright Flyer, was the first real airplane and was flown from a beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.Apr 29, 2022.
According to The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Military Aircraft, France was the war’s leading aircraft manufacturer, producing nearly 68,000 planes between 1914 and 1918
Of those, nearly 53,000 were shot down, crashed or damaged
The first nonstop transatlantic flight ended with a nosedive into a bog in western Ireland
In terms of aircraft technology, one of the most significant developments came from German engineer Hugo Junkers
His Junkers J1 aircraft, first flying in 1915, was the first aircraft to have an all-metal airframe
This was important for the later development of larger passenger aircraft
It was in 1903 that the first successful powered flight took place
Wilbur and Orville Wright flew the first powered airplane on December 17th, 1903, near Kitty Hawk in North Carolina
This is recorded by the record-setting body, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, as "the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight
"Most history books will claim that the first airplane was invented on December 17, 1903, after the Wright Brothers first successful flight
However, there is some debate on who should hold that title after historical evidence has surfaced over the years
