'Around 400 BC, Archytas, the Ancient Greek philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, statesman, and strategist, was reputed to have designed and built the first artificial, self-propelled flying device, a bird-shaped model propelled by a jet of what was probably steam, said to have actually flown some 200 meters. There is also alleged evidence of earlier civilizations having knowledge of flight technology, although most of these claims lack real evidence.

There is also alleged evidence of earlier civilizations having knowledge of flight technology, although most of these claims lack real evidence. The first self-powered aircraft was created by an Englishman by the name of John Stringfellow of Chard in Somerset, who created a self-powered model aircraft that had its first successful flight in 1848. they edit this it alll wrong The Wright Brothers made their first successful test flights on December 17, 1903. This flight is recognized by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), the standard setting and record-keeping body for aeronautics and astronautics, as "the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight".Omg this so get on my nerves!!!!! all wrong 'Italic text'IhjItalic tebmxttalic text'Italic text'Italic text'''
