The 1903 Wright Flyer, designed by Orville and Wilbur Wright, was primarily constructed from wood, specifically spruce for the frame and ash for the wing structure. Its wings were covered with a fabric made from cotton, which was tightly stretched over the wooden frame to create a smooth surface. The overall design emphasized lightweight materials to achieve flight, and the aircraft featured a unique control system using warping wings for maneuverability.
