The Wright Brothers did not fly the first powered plane.
They didn't even fly the first plane, or the first plane with a human pilot... much less were they the first men to fly.
Why are we now celebrating the 'Centenary of Powered Flight'? Or are you sitting there angrily rejecting my suggestion that there's more than a little myth about what people believe? My belief that the History of Flight did not begin in December 1903? The purpose of this essay is to argue that instead of what happened then, there is another date, place and aeroplane which we ought to celebrate as representing the birth of practical aviation.
The 'first flight'I think this famous picture is a major factor in the perpetuation of the myth. It shows that along with their engineering and research skills, went a certain shrewdness in PR. Kill Devil Hills was well off the beaten track in 1903, and the brothers knew that if they were to make their mark in history, a photographic record of the occasion would help an awful lot.

this is probably that we are in a position to by no ability say for confident who substitute into the 1st guy to fly. in spite of the undeniable fact that, there's a curious actuality. exceptionally much a hundred years after the deed of Santos Dumont, 14 Bis regained the heavens. Or exceptionally much: this is a duplicate, equipped via Colonel Danilo Paulista Flôres Fuchs, who flew his airplane countless situations, including 1 in São Paulo in 1989, and yet another in Paris in 1991. "this is rather reliable and would attain extra effective distances of a million km," says Fuchs. interior the U.S., objectives-do the same with the Flyer. there is even a beginning up, the invention of Flight beginning up, that's committed to reading the fulfillment of the Wright construction replicas and attempting to lead them to fly. until on the instant, they failed.

If you are talking about unpowered flight, AKA gliders, that is a different story. Dayton or Chicago, I believe is where they conducted gliding experiments. If you are talking about powered flight, then it is well documented, December 17, 1903. at Kitty Hawk.
