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.

Design and construction


The Flyer was based on the Wrights' experience testing gliders at Kitty Hawk between 1900 and 1902. Their last glider, the 1902 Glider, led directly to the design of the Flyer.
