THE WRIGHT BROTHERS
ORVILLE 1871-1948 & WILBUR 1869-1912
Orville and Wilbur were two American credited with inventing and building the world's successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight on December 17, 1903. Although not the first to build and fly an experimental aircraft, the Wright Brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible. The brothers fundamental breakthrough was their invention of three-axis control, which enabled the pilot to steer the aircraft effectively and maintain its equilibrium.
