When Wilbur and Wright brothers made the first mechanical flight and created the aerial age ?

  • A.on 17 December, 1903
  • B.on 27 December, 1903
  • C.on 7 December, 1906
  • D.on 17 December, 1899

Answer: A

The first powered flight was made on 17 December, 1903.

Orville and Wilbur Wright flew the Wright Flyer at Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Orville piloted the first flight of 12 seconds and about 120 feet, and Wilbur made the longest of the day's four flights, about 59 seconds. It was the first sustained, controlled flight of a powered heavier-than-air machine.

27 December 1903 changes the day, 1899 is when the brothers were still experimenting with kites, and 1906 is the year of Santos-Dumont's flight in Paris.
