Innovation in History: Impact and Change: The Airplane

Innovation

(Wright State University Archives)
The desire to fly has been as old as humanity itself, but not until the beginning of 

the 1900's was it achieved with powered, manned, heavier than air flight. 

On December 17, 1903, the Wright Brothers achieved the first prolonged, manned, 


heavier than air flight(s), forever inspiring and changing travel throughout the world.
