The Wright Brothers achieved the first powered sustained aircraft flight on 17 December 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Orville, the pilot, flew for 12 seconds and covered 120 feet in the air. Wilbur ran alongside the plane during the flight; a picture of the historic moment is shown below. #TheWrightBrothers #KittyHawk #PoweredFlight #17December1903 #Orville #Wilbur #SustainedAircraftFlight
