Fox News
Wilbur and Orville Wright allegedly became the first to successfully fly a powered and controlled airplane on this day in history, Dec. 17, 1903. Here's their remarkable story.
Brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright began testing out flying in 1899, while Samuel Langley of the Smithsonian did the same, according to the National Park Service (NPS). The brothers designed their own airplane propeller using air tunnel data. The brothers still triumphed with the win and sent their father, Bishop Milton Wright, a telegram reporting their historic achievement. Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle writer for Fox News Digital.
Langley’s attempts were underwritten by the War Department yet were unsuccessful, since his efforts relied on the brute power of the machines to keep suspended in air.
