No, the first airplane was not man-powered; it was powered by an engine. The Wright brothers' Flyer, which made its first successful flight in 1903, used a lightweight gasoline engine to achieve powered flight. However, there have been man-powered aircraft developed later, like human-powered helicopters and gliders, but these came after the advent of powered flight.
