The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, developed their invention of the airplane through years of experimentation and innovation in flight. They began by studying the principles of aerodynamics and the work of earlier aviation pioneers. Their key breakthrough came with the design of the 1902 glider, which helped them understand control and balance in the air. This knowledge culminated in the successful powered flight of the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903, marking the birth of controlled, sustained human flight.
