The 1903 Wright Flyer was the product of a sophisticated four-year program of research and development conducted by Wilbur and Orville Wright. After building and testing three full-sized gliders, the Wrights' first powered airplane flew at Kitty Hawk, North
Carolina, on December 17, 1903, making a 12-second flight, traveling 36 m (120 ft), with Orville piloting.<o:p></o:p></p>
