The Wright Brothers are believed to have crashed more than once. However, these were not serious crashes that would cost their lives. This helped them in inventing the aircraft.
The Wright brothers built many more aircraft after the Wright flyer. In fact, they founded an aircraft manufacturing company, Wright Aeronautical which later merged with Curtissto become Curtiss-Wright, a company which still exists, although only as a component manufacturer.
The original Wright Flyer held no passengers, only the pilot.
Their very first successful flight went exactly 259.6 meters.
The first powered aircraft with a name seems to be the "Wright Flyer I" ... although they built and flew many gliders before that.
The Wright Flyer was invented by the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, to achieve their dream of achieving powered flight. They were inspired by their observation of birds in flight and sought to create a machine that could replicate this natural phenomenon. Their successful invention of the Wright Flyer in 1903 marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation.
While the Wright brothers built and experimented with several gliders and kites to test their theories, the Wright Flyer was actually their first powered prototype.
The first successful powered airplane is attributed to the Wright brothers and their airplane the Wright Flyer. It should be noted that no single person invented the airplane and it was a collaboration of many advances in aeronautics by many pioneers from around the world that led to the Wright brothers' success.

Well I think 105.
You must have heard of the Wright Brothers. Well it was Orville Wright how took their aircraft called the Flyer for a 12-second sustained flight on December 17, 1903. This was the first successful, powered, piloted flight in history. There were many test flights previous which either were unmanned flights or ended in a crash, therefore, they were not recorded as being the first flight.
