The Wright Flyer
The Wright Flyer was created in 1899 from a complex four-year research and development program of Wilbur and Orville Wright. The Wright Flyer was described to be “The first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard.” It was also unable to last a minute in the air and was found to be difficult to navigate. It flew four times on December 17, 1903, but that was it.
