When was the airplane invented?

Answer 1

Leonardo da vinci drew plans in the 15th Century for a helicopter but it was never built.

The brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright were two Americans who are generally credited with inventing and building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on 17 December 1903 in Kitty Hawk, NC on December 17, 1903.

However, men had flown in hot air balloons as early as 1783 (the Montgolfier brothers), and in gliders as early as 1849 (George Cayley) or possibly even 1825 (Hans Navrestad).

So a progression of developments over many years led to powered flight. The Wright Brothers studied Otto Lilienthal's glider designs and attached an engine to one. Their use of inefficient (but effective) wing warping for control allowed them the first controlled, powered flight though there had been both controlled flights and powered flights previously.

- The first to use the conventional control surfaces we see today was Richard Pearse of New Zealand, who may have flown as early as March, 1903. But he used a hedge to stop his flight.

- An unmanned steam-powered monoplane was flown in 1848. It took the development of powerful, lightweight internal combustion engines to make modern aircraft practical and dependable.

- A manned powered aircraft took off using a ramp assist in France in 1874, and there was also that year an aircraft powered by compressed air. These and other achievements show how the understanding of how to fly was gradually changing.
The first official airplane hop was in 1890, but the idea has been around since Da Vinci. Also, the first jet flight was in 1939, but the Germans only started using them in 1944.
i don't know when it was invented. What about you.

Ans 2 - Many men made aircraft from about 1897 onwards. Most of these ended up wrecked after the first take-off.
On 17 December 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright with the 12 HP Wright Flyer, officially aide the first sustained, controlled powered flight by a heaver-than-air machine of 12 seconds for a distance of 120 feet. Less than the wing span of a 747.
The first heavier than air powered flight was in 1903 by the Wright Brothers.

In 1903 by the Wright Brothers.

December 17th 1903

The very first plane invented was in 1903 this was the very first powered flight in history

this is an interesting answer written by the uninformed....

NEW question: who was Clement Ader and when did HIS powered flight happen???
The first airplane was invented by the Wright Brothers on December 17, 1903. Orville and Wilbur Wright made four small flights with their aircraft Kitty Hawk.
1906 by the wright brother

In 1903 the first flight was made and in 1901 the idea was put into action.
The first flight of the Wright flyer, widely considered to be the first true airplane, happened on December 17 1903.
The first working motorized aeroplane was invented by the Wright Brothers in 1903. Before that time numerous sailing planes have been invented. The first model of a steam-powered aeroplane was invented by John Stringfellow back in 1848.
The first working plane was invented by the Wright Brothers in December 17 1903.
The airplane was invented in 1903. The wright brothers also known as Wilbur and Orville successfully built a plane that went 20 feet in the air for 12 seconds and went 120 feet across wind swept beach in North Carolina.
