Who invented the aeroplane?
Orville Wright (1871-1948) and Wilbur Wright (1867 – 1912) requested a patent application for a ‘flying machine’ nine months before their successful flight in December 1903, which Orville Wright recorded in his diary. As part of the Wright Brothers’ systematic practice of photographing every prototype and test of their various flying machines, they had persuaded an attendant from a nearby lifesaving station to snap Orville Wright in full flight. The craft soared to an altitude of 10 feet, traveled 120 feet, and landed 12 seconds after takeoff. After making two longer flights that day, Orville and Wilbur Wright sent this telegram to their father instructing him to “inform press”. But, as mentioned earlier, the first engine-powered airplane to fly was the Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1903.
