Wilbur

Wilbur (1867-1912) and Orville (1871-1948) Wright, bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio, achieved the first sustained, controlled, powered heavier-than-air flight on December 17, 1903, at Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Their systematic wind-tunnel experiments and innovative three-axis control system solved the problem that had defeated every predecessor.
