Wright Brothers Wright Flyer "Kitty Hawk" Wood Model Airplane 1:24

The 1903 Wright Flyer became the first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard. On December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, with Orville Wright as pilot, the airplane took off from a launching rail and flew for 12 seconds and a distance of 120 feet. The airplane was flown three more times that day, with Orville and his brother Wilbur alternating as pilot. Source and Links: National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution.
