118 years ago, patent application was filed for the first fixed wing aircraft

On March 23, 1903, the Wright brothers applied for a patent for their first fixed-wing aircraft, but their application was rejected. Entering the litigation process in 1904, the brothers prevailed on May 22, 1906 and received a patent for "Improvements to New and Convenient Flying Machines". Wright brothers made 105 flights with this plane and their advanced models. Despite their flights, people could not believe that a flying machine was built. The aircraft design counted in place for a while until the other aviators were at the level of the Wright brothers. Later, the Wright brothers designed an airplane that the pilot could sit on. The pilot was now free from standing on the wing. In addition, they avoided the necessity of carrying a jack and monorail with them by building a landing gear. Wilbur Wright took one of the planes he made with his brother to France, held a public flight demonstration and made a deal with a company to market his inventions in Europe. Meanwhile, Orville Wright, who stayed in America, organized shows similar to those in France. Successful flight trials prompted the US government to agree with the Wright brothers to purchase aircraft for the war department. Thus, aircraft production continued. Wilbur and Orville's invention was greatly improved after them.
