Who Invented The Airplane?

Gliders were the first flying machines that were introduced during the early nineteenth century. Many experiments were carried out to make them power driven. The first person to make the machine was Prof. Samuel Langley. He made two machines which were driven by steam engines and made successful flights. On 7^th October 1903, he tested a full sized flying machine, but it crashed. The first successful attempt was made on 17^th December by two brothers named Orville and Wilbur Wright. It was heavier than air machine and was driven by its own power. They made one flight of thirty metres in twelve seconds at kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
