The first plane with pilot


In the year 1899 began the Brothers Wright to build the first plane. The Wrights spent a great deal of time observing birds in flight. They noticed that birds soared into the wind and that the air flowing over the curved surface of their wings created lift. Birds change the shape of their wings to turn and maneuver. They believed that they could use this technique to obtain roll control by warping, or changing the shape, of a portion of the wing. The plane was made of woodenslates and the wood bay by the wings was stringed with sailcloth. The first flight was good. The plane glided through the air. That was a big moment for the history.
