It must have been amazing to see people fly back then.
This was a really big turning point in human history.
These two bicycle mechanics beat top class government funded scientists and changed the world in a more exciting way than anything else !!!
In November 1908, they set a world altitude record of 360 feet (110 meters). The altitude of their first flight, 5 years earlier in 1903, was 10 feet (3 meters). They weren't scared of heights, they were setting new records!
I live in Raleigh NC and am so proud of the of the Wright brothers,wish I could have been there! thanks for sharing
@jcudal32 @jcudal32 Orville Wright said that despite the wars, the airplane would bring people closer together and would be known to future generations as an instrument of peace.
i've met the angel that bless this wonderful invention!!!

The pianist is Bob Montalto, from Athens, Ohio. He recorded it especially for this video soundtrack.
This was a very nice production. Thanks for sharing it with us all.
"Solace", 1909 by Scott Joplin. Performed by Bob Montalto, recorded by Bruce Dalzell.
In 1905 the Wright Brothers flew their third model 24 miles, circling a field near their home in Dayton for 39 minutes nonstop. It's true that the Wrights used a launching rail and skids. Their first flights were from sand. It's also true that in the end their plane turned out to be a dead end. But it is also true that while Santos-Dumont had only flown 220 meters when Wilbur Wright showed up in Paris and flew. 123 kilometers, staying aloft for more than two hours.
The Wright Bros were skillful enough to see how several proven ideas could be used to construct a reliable type of aircraft. And they also spent a lot of money from their own business to try it all out.
Amazing how long ago it it, and we use them all the time now. And to think aircraft carriers use a similar takeoff system!
Santos flew his airplane in 1906. The Wright Brothers flew theirs in 1903.
Oh and the Wright Brother's didn't start using a catapult until Sep 1904, almost a year after their first flight.
Err.... The Wright Brothers first flew a heavier than air gasoline powered aircraft in 1903. According to my math, that's 3 years before Santos. Santos flew a lighter than air craft around the Eiffel tower in 1901.
Funny to think that less than a hundred years later we landed on the moon.
Sorry the wrights were the first to fly a gasoline aircraft in 1903. Dumont came three years after bro.
Wilbur wright while he brother Orville was suffering from typhoid flew the first motorized aircraft for 2 seconds, he lost control and damaged the wing, he retried for days later, he was the first man to take flight in a motorized aircraft December 17 1903
So inspiring, thank you for this video.
Amazing!!!!
Great video - this is what youtube was meant for.
However, some time later, Americans Orville and Wilbur Wright proved they had made the first flight three years before Dumont.
So far so good. All the experts, even those who advocate Dumont, agree that the Wright brothers first flew, however, that proponents of Dumont preach, is that the Wright brothers' plane was unable to take flight alone or to keep in the air on its own, being aided by the strong winds blowing in the region.
Perhaps we can all agree that that the footage at the end of this clip includes the first motion pictures ever taken from a flying airplane:)
then we landed on the moon
The aircraft air lifted by themselves, that is, with the aid of equipment such as launch ramp and flight trilho. The same was done under conditions of limitation of the route with the flight distance attained only in accordance with the power release the auxiliary machine.
Despite the recognition, there is controversy as to the flight of the Flyer 1, the first controlled but different from other devices prior to the first flyer, which were also checked, no mechanical assistance during takeoff. The aircraft air lifted by themselves, that is, with the aid of equipment such as launch ramp and flight trilho.
amazing, from this to the JSF...
@miguelitofreire I guess in Brazil 1906 comes before 1903
I'm not trying to take anything away from Santos Dumont Sergio.Getting the kind of recognition that the Wright brothers got didn't come from their invention alone. It also took marketing skills. Wilbur Wright happened to had a natural talent for this as well. They're all great men.
3:01 What an interesting reaction; it looks like they are ducking to avoid getting hit. I guess considering this is possibly the first airplane flight they have ever seen that isn't too surprising.
'Merica!
Thank you, we had not heard of Alexander Mozhaiskogo/Mozhaysky before. Wikipedia states that the Russian Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) studied this in the 1970s and found that Mozhaysky traveled 100 feet from a ramp but that his wings and engine were insufficient for sustained flight. But with the larger engine Hozhaysky had planned before his death, he might have succeeded! It seems even more people around the world were closing in on the solution than we realized.
were the Wright brothers scared of heights? I don't see a Video of them flying higher than 10metres. grateful to them though just to have the guts and expertise to start that important flight
Thanks for sharing this super video. :¬)
According to the website The Atlantic, the picture above, of December 17, 1903, captures the exact moment that Wilbur and Orville Wright can, for the first time, take flight with an aircraft "heavier than air" - designated thus by using parts of their structure or their own wings as a means of support - in North Carolina.
@jcudal32 GPS too was developed by the US-Airforce during cold war, and it's owned and maintained by the military
Discussions are welcome. Please keep it civil. Any comments with profanity will be deleted. Thank you all for your interest.

Traian Vuia was a Romanian inventor and aviation pioneer who designed,built and tested the first monoplane.His first airborne test traveled 12 m on March 18.1906 and his best distance was 24 m.His invention influenced Louis Blériot in designing monoplanes.Vuia's machine had the capability to take off from a flat surface only by on-board means without outside assistance such as an incline rails or catapult.Alberto Santos Dumont recognized Vuia as a "forerunner" of his efforts, Google-Henri Coanda
Does anyone know what airship is in the background towards the beginning of this video?
sive ndobeni Did you watch the video you commented on? 3:21 Over 100 meters...
No final de 1909, os dois fundaram a Wright Company e começaram a comercializar seus aparelhos. Em 2003, no centenário do feito dos irmãos Wright, um consórcio de empresas e instituições nos EUA tentou reproduzir o primeiro vôo do Flyer, com uma réplica exata do avião. Sequer conseguiram sair do solo. A réplica era fiel, mas faltaram os ventos fortes que ajudaram os Wright a decolar em 1903.
Não preciso falar mais nada. (I need not to say anymore else)
The WRIGHT brothers did it RIGHT!
SANTOS DUMONT ! THE FIRST !
we've stayed up all night playing Donkey Kong
According to the publication, the image authored by John T. Daniels can see Orville Wright lying on the controls while Wilbur runs alongside aircraft, following liftoff. However, despite being so celebrated - and arouse heated discussions today - the "plane" of the Wright brothers only got off the ground thanks to a sort of giant slingshot that catapulted the device.
The flight took place in the presence of witnesses, as the president of the town bank and some public officials, thus characterizing an event with public credibility, almost similar to the 14-Bis flight of Santos Dumont, in which experts, journalists and thousands of people witnessed the fact.A flying machine heavier than air was invented by Frenchman Clément Ader in 1890. However, it does not allow to control the direction of flight.
cool
the genesis of flight by man
Incorrect. Santos Dumonts' "aircraft" could not manuever and he abandoned the design because HE thought it was impractical whereas the Wright Flyer could manuever and flew circles over the crowds. The French newspapers had no problem acknowledging the Wright brothers' accomplishments and they were held as hero's. The Wright brothers were very successful in their aviation business among which included their own flying school which trained such famous aviators as General Hap Arnold..
It landed on skids. Later models had wheels.
Does anybody have the song?
Dumont: the first man to wear a wristwatch.
how does it land?it doesnt hve wheels right?
But i love the kitty hawk!
we'll be pressing all your buttons like we're the controller, conquer every level of your 2d scroller
Watch the video here again.... They're flying much farther, further, and longer than the mere catapult energy could have moved the aircraft on it's own.
@ricksk81993 Oh right because that engine and those propellers on the Wright Flyer are just for looks, right?
Santos Dumont is considered as the father of aviation in Brazil not in the world. Please make your comments right. In 1906 the Wright Brothers were already doing figure eights with their planes.
Wright Brothers or Wind Brothers?
thanks for share history
we dont need to fight , wer the fathers of flight representin north carolina
aiiiight
This is the song from Bioshock Infinite!
In 1906, Alberto Santos Dumont takes off with his 14-bis in Paris, flying approximately 220 meters. It was the first public display of an aircraft flying at this distance autonomously and thus Santos Dumont became known in Europe as the inventor of the airplane.
Lol they're all wearing hats :D
Very nice job. The brothers were amazing people.
Cayley's designs were all based on kites, initially the classic peg top kite that was popular at the time. They were gilders, and had a distinct tail area with both vertical and horizontal elements. The one design that apparently successfully carried a passenger, a 10 yr old boy, had a basket slung underneath it, much as balloons did at the time. though there's not much evidence that it was a controlled flight. Yes Sir George was a visionary in this field. But the WB's didn't copy what he made.
@jcudal32 All automobile technology has come out of military aircraft, engine designs, ABS braking system, Injection fuel system, if your car has those, then you are using military technology
Are these clips true?
@999basille No, y'all just invented 'getting high'
Sounds like Josh Rifkin playing Scott Joplin, Rifkin played is a bit slow as Joplin recorded.
EPICRAPBATTLES GOT ME HERE LOL
The only reason I know this song, is from Bioshock Infinite!
Good job guys :) Too bad that you can't fly today A380 or 787 ;)
go to it my cousins-proud of you both
What? George Caley made sketches, diagrams of how to make it etc. and the Wright brothers used them... Simple as
No safety mechanisms/gear? Not as far as I can see from looking. Were they naive of the damage the body could sustain from a fall from such great heights?
I keep seeing that the "use of catapults disqualifies" what is called an airplane. If we use that bit of internet logic, then every jet fighter from the F4 to the F22 that takes off from an aircraft carrier is not an "airplane". Even the Harrier jump jet is not an "airplane". I know there is this desire among many people to want to minimize the accomplishments of the United States of America, however when you have an event that happens and then three years later you change the rules to attempt to revise history retroactively, as the Federation of Aeronautics did in Paris, that doesn't mean something is erased from history. And I've been hearing about Gustave Whitehead since I was a kid, and that was never really proven.
I like how people think these guys fully invented planes! xD George Caley did...
thumbs up if epic rap battles of history made you type Wright brothers
the first fly of Santos Dumont was in 1906,the first fly of the Wright brothers was in 1903
The only video footage of the Wright Brother's in flight was at 1907. In many documentaries I've seen about the Wright Brothers use that footage from LATER FLIGHTS to show their FIRST FLIGHTS.
Traian Vuia (Romanian pronunciation: [traˈjan ˈvuja]; August 17, 1872 - September 3, 1950) was a Romanian inventor and aviation pioneer who designed, built and tested the first powered monoplane. His first airborne test traveled about 12 metres (39 feet) on March 18, 1906, and his best distance was 24 m (79 ft). This was the first short flight or "powered hop" by a monoplane.[1][2][3]
15 people are sad sad very sad
you sure it was that fast? I mean 37,000 + Kilometers an hour would almost take you around the world in one hour.
1 person couldn't flap his arms fast enough.
LOL... I never said aircraft carrier planes aren't planes!
I just said that, from all the AUTONOMOUS planes commonly used in the modern commercial aviation, the first ever created was the "14 Bis" and not the "Flyer I".
Although the Wright Brothers indeed pioneered in creating the first havier-than-air machine, it was not the first AUTONOMOUS one. This is an undeniable fact!
If you deny this fact, you're being like those religious fanatics which whom we can't have a normal conversation.
Show me an airplane that needs no wind to fly.... by your logic the F-14 Tomcat and the F-18 Hornet isn't an airplane when it launches from an aircraft carrier. BTW, the longest flight of the 14-bis was 220 meters! The Wright Flyer in 1905 (one year prior to Santos Dumont) flew for 39 minutes a total of 24 miles (that's 39,000 meters) at an altitude above the spectators' heads.
Alberto Santos Dumont, was the first man to fly in an airplane that did not depend on wind and catapult to fly, took off with the very means of the apparatus as well as today and in the presence of a large crowd with the press coverage that registered as the first flight in history.

A flying machine heavier than air was invented by Frenchman Clément Ader in 1890. However, it does not allow to control the direction of flight.
lol yep i became interested in them from that video also they destroyed the mario bros in that battle
@ChazzBreezy yeah thats how i got here lol
The official explanation Wind blamed for the fiasco. Hours later, the organizers of the party made another attempt. Again a failure. The original flight had occurred three years before Alberto Santos Dumont off with your "14-bis", lasted 12 seconds and ran 36 meters. Hundred years later, a replica of the Wright flying machine, piloted by a flight instructor, even took off. font:
@ricksk81993 do u see wood and fabric planes flying today? no, and this does not mean the father of aviation was the first to build an aluminum aircraft!
and any plane taking off from a carrier use a catapult still today.
i really cannot get your point, it sounds like silly and out of place patriotism.
(I am a great admirer of Santos Dumont btw)
Profanity is not allowed. All comments of this nature will be deleted. Thank you for your cooperation.
@ricksk81993
sorry dude wright brothers win because THEY made flying a reality with a MANEUVERABLE non- suicidal machine. The general public only started accepting this invention because the wright brothers proved flying is not just a stunt! Thanks to their bicycling understanding of banking!
Having said that I'm sure Santos helped to at least inspire the wright brothers to go on.
SANTOS DUMONT SIM FOI UM GRANDE GÊNIO, FEZ UMA MAQUINA INCRÍVEL, NÃO PARA GUERRA E SIM PARA O BEM DA HUMANIDADE!!!
And you forgot to mention that Santos Dumont abandoned his 14bis aircraft because he believed it to be structurally unsound and too dangerous to continue operation.
@vivek00 Innovation is a one man thing, the Wright brothers' original aerodynamic design has only been improved by about 5% in 100 years of aviation evolution, and computer simulation, that means they were aerodynamically speaking, 95% right at their time!!
