The invention of the plane has greatly changed the world. However, IT seems that its inventors overview right and wilbert, we're not looking to change the world at all. Rather, they just wanted to fly like birds to solve the problem of heavier than air flight. The right brothers began working with gliders. There were two main chAllenges. The first was how to get the glider into the air. The second was how to control IT. Once IT was flying for both problems, they found their solutions by looking at how birds flu. After they solve these problems, they added an engine to the glider. Then in december ninety thousand, three, the world's first plain flights were made. The invention of the plane has made our travels around the world much easier and faster. Journeys that once took days, weeks or even months can now be made in only a few hours.

To solve the problem of heavier-than-air flight, the Wright brothers began working with gliders. There were two main challenges. The first was how to get the glider into the air. The second was how to control it once it was
flying. For both problems, they found their solutions by looking at how birds flew. After they solved these problems, they added an engine to the glider. Then, in December 1903, the world’s first plane flights were made.
