They did what?

I can't think of one thing that they invented.

Perhaps they were the first to achieve sustainable, controlled, powered flight.

Maybe I can think of things they patented which set the US aeroplane
industry back a decade or so, but nothing comes to mind that they
actually invented.

And their predecessors and contemporaries called them 'Aerodromes'.
