Centennial It's funny that there all these other folks with claims on inventing the airplane (there's another in Argentina), yet they never went on to do anything else with their inventions. The Wright Brothers were never the first people to fly. People had been flying gliders (think Otto Lillinthal) and balloons (and blimps?) for years. But the Wrights were the first, and the only ones, to put all the elements together: flight, power, and control. Whatever else happened, they invented the airplane.
