The Wright Brothers are considered pioneers of U.S. aviation. On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright completed the first flight with the motorized biplane one-man "Flyer I." on the beach of North Carolina over a distance of 37 meters and a duration of twelve seconds. The brothers' airplane models were originally inspired by Otto Lilienthal's glider flights, but were augmented with aerodynamic rudders for control and an engine for propeller propulsion. Their invention made a significant contribution to the development of aviation technology.
