First of all
Wilber and Orville Wright liked to make all sorts of gadgets, and the race launched at the end of the 19th century to build the world's first flying machine must have caught their attention. They remembered how, as children, they had been able to make a toy that could fly, so that the brothers went from making bicycles in their workshop to becoming designers of flying machines. -
Try to construct
They made the first powered airplane that could maintain sustained, controlled flight.
