On December 17, 1903 the Wright Brothers made the first controlled, powered, heavier-than-air human flight.Wind, sand, and a dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, where after four years of experimentation, they achieved the first successful airplane flights in 1903.The first plane they had built was a glider that measured 16 feet from wing tip to wing tip. It cost them $15 to build it. The gasoline-powered plane they flew at Kitty Hawk cost them less than $1000 to build.
The creation of the first fully functional airplane paved the way for future Travel. It introduced the ability to fly, which would later be used for long distance travel. Once this concept was perfected the world became a more open place.
Life without Planes would be really hard. Planes help us travel long distances to deliver items, visit other countries, and visit relatives or friends in a different country. Planes helped our economy grow with it's ability to travel long distances with a lot of extra weight to carry. If we didn't have planes we would never have gotten this far.
