The Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were two American inventors who are famous for creating the first successful airplane. They made their historic flight on December 17, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Orville was the pilot for the first flight, which lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. This achievement was a huge turning point in history. It marked the beginning of the aviation era, making it possible for people to travel across long distances in a short amount of time. The Wright Brothers' invention had a massive impact on how we live and travel today.]]> 2023-07-30 05:02:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sdw890/mv85fjau5rd580mg/wish/2653044961 https://padlet.com/sdw890/mv85fjau5rd580mg/wish/2653045516
