What did The Wright Brothers do?
As adults, they ran a bicycle shop, which helped them understand how to build machines. But they were fascinated by flying, and in 1903, after years of hard work, they built an aeroplane called the Flyer. On 17th December 1903, they made history when Orville flew it for 12 seconds, covering 120 feet. That may not sound like much today, but it was the first time a machine flew with a pilot controlling it!
The Wright brothers' invention changed the world, and today, aeroplanes are used everywhere, thanks to their hard work and imagination.
