The airplane was invented by Orville and Wilbur Wright, two American brothers, who achieved the first successful powered flight on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Their aircraft, the Wright Flyer, flew for 12 seconds and covered a distance of 120 feet. The Wright brothers were the first to achieve controlled, sustained, powered flight of a heavier-than-air machine, marking the beginning of modern aviation. Their work laid the foundation for the development of the aviation industry and revolutionized transportation globally.
