Wright brothers, First Flying Airplane > Website 
Between 1899 and 1905, the Wright Brothers conducted a program of aeronautica research and experimentation that led to the first successful powered airplane in 190 and a refined, practical flying machine two years later. All successful airplanes sinc then have incorporated the basic design elements of the 1903 Wright Flyer
The genius of Wilbur and Orville lay not only in the singular act of getting a flying machine into the air, but also in the approach they evolved and employed to create the technology of flight. Their method of evaluating data gathered by testing an aircraft in flight, then refining the design based on those results, remains an essential tool in aerospace research and development.
