When was flying discovered?

The concept of flight has fascinated humans for centuries, but the first successful powered flight occurred on December 17, 1903, when Orville and Wilbur Wright flew the Wright Flyer in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This marked a significant milestone in aviation history. Prior to this, various attempts at human flight included lighter-than-air balloons in the 18th century and gliders in the 19th century.
