Platon67,

The first fly of the history was made by the french Clement Ader in 1890.


in your and his dreams, only.

There were probably some short "jumps" made prior to the Wrights by, for
example, Karl Jatho, but the first controlled sustained powered flight was
done by the Wrights. There's very little debate about that.
