How many tries did it take the wright brothers to successfully build an aircraft?

The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, conducted numerous experiments and built several gliders before achieving powered flight. They made over 1,000 flights with their early gliders and conducted extensive research on aerodynamics. Their first successful powered flight occurred on December 17, 1903, after years of trial and error, which culminated in the Wright Flyer. Thus, it was a long journey of experimentation rather than a specific number of tries.
