This photo was taken as Orville piloted the Wright Flyer on its first flight of the day, which lasted 12 seconds and covered 36 m (120 ft). The fourth and final flight, with Wilbur at the controls, covered 255.6 m (852 ft) in 59 seconds. The Wright brothers had invented the first successful airplane.

Thus, unlike previous flights, their flight was controlled: they climbed, descended and turned.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;rgba(147,175,193,0.39)&#8221; show_divider=&#8221;on&#8221; divider_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; divider_position=&#8221;top&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; \/][et_pb_comments show_avatar=&#8221;on&#8221; show_reply=&#8221;on&#8221; show_count=&#8221;off&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;off&#8221; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;0&#8243; button_use_icon=&#8221;default&#8221; button_icon_placement=&#8221;right&#8221; button_on_hover=&#8221;on&#8221; button_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;0&#8243; \/][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_blog fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; include_categories=&#8221;11&#8243; show_thumbnail=&#8221;off&#8221; show_content=&#8221;off&#8221; show_more=&#8221;off&#8221; show_author=&#8221;on&#8221; show_date=&#8221;on&#8221; show_categories=&#8221;off&#8221; show_comments=&#8221;off&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;on&#8221; offset_number=&#8221;0&#8243; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; use_dropshadow=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;on&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#e5e5e5&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today in 1903: Wilbur and Orville Wright made four brief flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, with their first powered aircraft.
