Wright brothers (Wright brothers), Orville (August 19 1871-30 January 1948) and Wilbur (16 April 1867-30 May 1912) are two Americans who were recorded as the inventor of the aircraft because they managed to build an aircraft that was first successfully flown and controlled by humans on December 17, 1903.

Two years after their discovery, the two brothers was to develop 'flying machine' them to form an aircraft taking wing as we now know. Although they are not the people who first make trial or experiment aircraft, the Wright brothers was the first to find the control of the aircraft so that aircraft flying with wings attached to rigid can be controlled.

The biggest breakthrough was the discovery of 'three-axis control' which is used by all aircraft flying today.

They obtain mechanical skills from working in their stores full of printing machines, bicycles, motorcycles and other machinery. Of the bikes they got the idea that an unstable aircraft can be controlled with exercise.

The Wright brothers were two of seven brothers. In elementary school, Orville was expelled from school. In 1878, their father bought 'helicopter' toys for their two youngest children are. Toys were made from bamboo and rubber to rotate its propeller. Wilbur and Orville played until broken, then make the toys themselves, they admitted that the experience brmain with bamboo helicopter was the source for their interests against a machine that could fly.
