The Wright Brothers achieved manned flight on Dec. 17th, 1903. Their engineering abilities brought about the age of manned flight and opened the doors to modern aviation, space flight and mankind has not looked back since.
"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."
