The Wright Flyer (often retrospectively referred to as Flyer I and occasionally Kitty Hawk) was the first powered aircraft designed and built by the Wright Brothers. It is considered by many to be the first successful powered, piloted airplane.
Much controversy persists around the many competing claims of early aviators. See first flying machine for more discussion.
