  • Oh they wouldnt believe where we are in aviation technology these days with advanced stealth planes. STOVL & VOL as well as UAVs. man, in only a matter of short time, we've come a long way :D

  • The Wright brothers were more educated than this suggests. They had also studied all the literature about flight theory they could obtain besides developing the first wind tunnel to test it all.

  • The 14 Bis, in 1906, was the first machine to take off by their own means (motor) = plane and fly. In 1909 came the Demoiselle No. 19. Planes today are like the Demoiselle or the Wright brothers' powered glider. All have made their contribution. But historically, the first airplane to take off by their own means was the Santos Dumont's 14 Bis.

  • @johnnyr2000 on their first flight their plane didn't have a catapult.

  • lol tittyhawk?

  • The only evidence that the Wright brothers have their first flight, is a telegraphic message, and at the time were 6 people of witnesses.

    The brazilian Santos Dummont flew in the presence of hundreds of people in France, his achievement was filmed, so he has the strongest proof.

    Santos Dumont was recognized by the International Federation of Aeronautic, and Aero Club of France, as the first man to flight in a airplane.

  • America was not 'first wing' given to the world. 5000 years ago great king Ravana (empire of three world) had a flying machine. called VIMANA. Try to learn Technology of great Ravana.

    PROUD to be SRILANKAN

  • @johnnyr2000 well sort of, the first flight was done without a catapult, but relied on the strong winds at Kitty Hawk. (thats why they were there) After they were thrown out of North Carolina they continued their work and used catapults in other locations.

  • @rhadookoo12 He flew an uncontrollable aircraft in 1906, the Wrights flew in 1903, 1904, and 1905.
