When was the airplane invented?

It is recognized that the flight performed by the Wright brothers in the United States in 1903 12 17 was recognized by the International Aviation Federation (FAI) as "the first controlled sustained power flight performed by a heavier-than-air aircraft".

An airplane is heavier than air. It has one or more engines to generate forward thrust or pull, and the fixed wings of the fuselage generate lift. Aircraft is the most common fixed-wing aircraft. According to the type of engine used, it can be divided into jet plane and propeller plane. The airplane is one of the greatest inventions in history. The Wright brothers pioneered the flight control system, which enabled the aircraft to fly under control, thus laying the foundation for the practical application of the aircraft. This technology is still applied to all aircraft today. The great inventions of the Wright brothers changed the transportation, economy, production and daily life of human beings, and also changed the military history.

The Wright brothers are famous American scientists. Their elder brother is wilbur wright (1867 April16-1912 May 65438), and their younger brother is Orville Wright. They are American inventors and airplane manufacturers. 1903 12 17, the Wright brothers first flew a fully controlled, self-powered and heavier-than-air plane, which was "the first plane in the world".

The Wright brothers are from Ohio, USA. Their family moved from Richmond, Indiana to Ohio in 1884.
