Oh they wouldnt believe where we are in aviation technology these days with advanced stealth planes. STOVL & VOL as well as UAVs. man, in only a matter of short time, we’ve come a long way
The Wright brothers were more educated than this suggests. They had also studied all the literature about flight theory they could obtain besides developing the first wind tunnel to test it all.
The 14 Bis, in 1906, was the first machine to take off by their own means (motor) = plane and fly. In 1909 came the Demoiselle No. 19. Planes today are like the Demoiselle or the Wright brothers’ powered glider. All have made their contribution. But historically, the first airplane to take off by their own means was the Santos Dumont’s 14 Bis.

@johnnyr2000 on their first flight their plane didn’t have a catapult.
lol tittyhawk?
The only evidence that the Wright brothers have their first flight, is a telegraphic message, and at the time were 6 people of witnesses.
The brazilian Santos Dummont flew in the presence of hundreds of people in France, his achievement was filmed, so he has the strongest proof.
Santos Dumont was recognized by the International Federation of Aeronautic, and Aero Club of France, as the first man to flight in a airplane.
America was not ‘first wing’ given to the world. 5000 years ago great king Ravana (empire of three world) had a flying machine. called VIMANA. Try to learn Technology of great Ravana.
PROUD to be SRILANKAN
@johnnyr2000 well sort of, the first flight was done without a catapult, but relied on the strong winds at Kitty Hawk. (thats why they were there) After they were thrown out of North Carolina they continued their work and used catapults in other locations.
@rhadookoo12 He flew an uncontrollable aircraft in 1906, the Wrights flew in 1903, 1904, and 1905.
@johnnyr2000 So the Wright brothers flew first, and Santos Dumont literally cried about it and stole the wrights designs a few years later… Sounds like a sore looser to me.
the first person who flew with a motor was Traian Vuia . he was romanian but he flew in paris
@CanterburyAtheists: There were dozens of non-contolled flights all over the world years before 1903.
@CanterburyAtheists – That’s a subject of some debate. Lifting off momentarily without control is a milestone, but relatively unimportant in that period of rapid innovation. The Wright Brothers are used as a benchmark because of their complete endeavor. (And subsequent mastery of the world scene with regards to aviation.)
@johnnyr2000 – The “Wright Flyer”/ 1903 flew first, 3 years before Santos Dumont, without a catapult. The Wright Brothers’ aircraft took off from a rail, instead of using wheels. The 14-bis’ most notable improvement on that first powered flight was the inclusion of wheeled gear, instead of skids. The 14-bis did not fly until 1906. Get your facts straight please, or don’t comment.
HISTORY LESSON: The first person to build and fly a heavier-than-air machine was the New Zealander Richard Pearce who flew 9 months before The Wright Brothers. The Wright Brothers were the first people to perform what is called ‘controlled’ flight. The first person to actual build & fly a mechanised plane, complete a powered-flight was Richard Pearce.

Alberto Santos Dumont the first!
PROPAGANDA !!! Alberto Santos Dumont a major pioneer in aviation, most famous person in the world was not mention once in this clip. They keep denying Dumont but we are not going to forget Dumont, we are going to fight this powerful media.
@maiconjl
WRONG!
@johnnyr2000
Wrong. First person who created flying device without any support from ground foundations was Alexander Mozhaisky in 1882.
You’re all wrong, the first man to fly a powered aircraft was a guy named Eddie.
@johnnyr2000 Dumont had several “unsustained and uncontrolled” flights before 1909. 23Oct1906 (50m), 13Nov1906 (60m,82m,220m) and 17Nov1907 (Dumont’s last biplane for 203m) and then on 21Nov1907 (145m) which was Dumont’s first monowing that he copied (with permission) from Bleriot’s model II monowing that Bleriot flew for 186m on 17Sept1907, two months before. Dumont’s first “sustained and controlled” flight occurred on 13Feb1909.

Its been my experience, with these Dumonters, they care little about facts, official records, or whatever documents you can bring up or present, their’s is an “emotional” response and you’ll also notice they “only” seem to quote anything or anyone, if it somehow discredits the Wright brothers, not about anything of what Dumont accomplished. Its like them quoting Wil’s letter to Ferber, stating Wil was trying steal Dumont’s technology, but never anything specific about “what” technology?
