With a 12-horsepower engine driving two pusher propellers, the #WrightBrothers in 1903 on #ThisDayInHistory may have made the first powered flight. At #KittyHawk, NC, their #WrightFlier biplane got airborne briefly, but was highly unstable and was wrecked on their fourth attempt.

Desde los bocetos de Leonardo da Vinci hasta los planeadores del siglo XIX, la idea de elevarse del suelo […]

Mistodon: on this date 121 years ago, Orville Wright became the first person to ever make a sustained airplane flight (for 12 seconds at least) near #KittyHawk, North Carolina. AdeptApril has drawn this #ANSIart illustration of the #WrightFlyer in honour of the occasion.

The earliest primitive aircraft, two layers of drooping wings and a small engine on top of sled rails, briefly takes flight into the grey sky at the Kill Devil Hills.

The #WrightFlyer (also known as the #KittyHawk,[3][4] Flyer I or the 1903 Flyer) made the first sustained flight by a manned heavier-than-air powered and controlled aircraft—an airplane—on December 17, 1903.[1] Invented an
