Other people may have invented the flying aircraft, but theirs was the first successful aircraft that maintained flight. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers flew and invented the first controlled aircraft. Before the Wright Brothers, there were many other attempt to make them like a bird would fly. Though these did not work, they had a good idea of how it should work. Their aircraft soared to an altitude of 10 feet, traveled 120 feet, and landed 12 seconds after it took off. These numbers may not make any sense to you, but for them, this was the most amazing news in the world! Once the Wright brothers got this far, other inventors built on to their idea and eventually, it became the airplane we have
