In the subsequent two years after their historic achievement, the brothers turned their flying machine into what would become the first practical and fixed-wing aircraft.
The Wright Brothers are world-famous for being credited with the invention and then the building of the first successful airplane and the first controlled, powered, and heavier-than-air human flight in 1903. In the subsequent two years after their historic achievement, the brothers turned their flying machine into what would become the first practical and fixed-wing aircraft. It is noteworthy that the Wright Brothers are not the first to be credited with flying experimental aircraft. Their legacy is rooted in the fact that they are the first to be credited with inventing controls on an aircraft that made it possible to actually fly a fixed-wing powered aircraft.
