Flying in air like birds was a dream of many people, so they tried different methods to fly in the air using gliders and hot air balloons. However, no one actually built a plane that could be operated by the pilot and had full control over it, until 20th century. On 17 December 1903, after several failed attempts, Wilbur Wright and his brother Orville Wright made the first flight, the first powered airplane controlled fully by a pilot to become airborne. They travelled 36.6 meters and flew for over five minutes.
