I keep seeing that the "use of catapults disqualifies" what is called an airplane. If we use that bit of internet logic, then every jet fighter from the F4 to the F22 that takes off from an aircraft carrier is not an "airplane". Even the Harrier jump jet is not an "airplane". I know there is this desire among many people to want to minimize the accomplishments of the United States of America, however when you have an event that happens and then three years later you change the rules to attempt to revise history retroactively, as the Federation of Aeronautics did in Paris, that doesn't mean something is erased from history. And I've been hearing about Gustave Whitehead since I was a kid, and that was never really proven.

Thank you, we had not heard of Alexander Mozhaiskogo/Mozhaysky before. Wikipedia states that the Russian Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) studied this in the 1970s and found that Mozhaysky traveled 100 feet from a ramp but that his wings and engine were insufficient for sustained flight. But with the larger engine Hozhaysky had planned before his death, he might have succeeded! It seems even more people around the world were closing in on the solution than we realized.

I thought we were talking about airplanes here, which are machines that can take off, fly and land under its own power as we all know it. That was created by Brazilian Santos Dumont in 1906. The use of the catapult disqualifies the Wright brothers as the first to fly what we call an airplane. With a catapult even a cow can fly

Actually, the Wrights were NOT first in flight. So says a growing number of historians and Jane's All the World Aircraft, the bible of aviation history, 2013. The evidence for Gustave Whitehead's powered flights in 1901-1902, preceding those of the Wright Brothers are irrefutable. This does not take away the Wrights' further work to "improve the art".

In 1905 the Wright Brothers flew their third model 24 miles, circling a field near their home in Dayton for 39 minutes nonstop. It's true that the Wrights used a launching rail and skids. Their first flights were from sand. It's also true that in the end their plane turned out to be a dead end. But it is also true that while Santos-Dumont had only flown 220 meters when Wilbur Wright showed up in Paris and flew. 123 kilometers, staying aloft for more than two hours.

Proponents of Wright assert that these arguments of Brazilians are absurd and that before Dumont, the Wright brothers had already run several successful flights. Brazilians use to philosophy: "If a tree falls in the forest and have no one to watch or listen, that tree really fall?" While the fight continues nationalist, different countries have different passages in their history books. But to do what? History has never been and will never be an exact science.

However, some time later, Americans Orville and Wilbur Wright proved they had made the first flight three years before Dumont. So far so good. All the experts, even those who advocate Dumont, agree that the Wright brothers first flew, however, that proponents of Dumont preach, is that the Wright brothers' plane was unable to take flight alone or to keep in the air on its own, being aided by the strong winds blowing in the region.

In 1906, Alberto Santos Dumont takes off with his 14-bis in Paris, flying approximately 220 meters. It was the first public display of an aircraft flying at this distance autonomously and thus Santos Dumont became known in Europe as the inventor of the airplane.

On 23 October 1906, aboard the 14 Bis, Santos Dumont is considered the first man to take off by themselves on a machine heavier than air. The 14 Bis flies 60 meters to 3 meters high by 7 seconds. On August 8, 1908 Santos Dumont makes first flight with his latest invention: the airplane of number 22 who was nicknamed Demoiselle. This aircraft was considered his masterpiece and the first time the pilot could remain seated during the flight.
