December 17, 1903. The Wright Brothers' Flight VIDEO  - 1

On December 17, 1903, the American Wright brothers carried out the first successful flights in history with the aircraft they had designed, the "Flyer-1", within one day.

The test was carried out with the "Flyer - 1" aircraft. It was piloted by Orville. The aircraft stayed in the air for 12 seconds and covered a distance of 37 meters. The next day, Wilbur made a second attempt, this time the plane remained in the sky for 59 seconds and traveled 250 meters.

Their efforts to build the first airplane could easily be called amateurish, but their passionate desire and their dedicated pursuit of constructing an aircraft at all costs ultimately led them to a remarkable achievement - the first manned flight.

Wilbur and Orville Wright are the pioneers of aviation.
