Frank Whittle
It being the first public flight in the world, he was hailed as the inventor of the airplane all over Europe. It was only later that the secretive Orville and Wilbur Wright proved they had beaten Santos-Dumont at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, three years earlier on December 17. Ask anyone in Brazil who invented the airplane and they will say Alberto Santos-Dumont, a five-foot four-inch (1.6 meter) bon vivant who was as well known for his aerial prowess as he was for his dandyish dress and high society life in Belle Epoque Paris. Gustave Whitehead invented and flew the  world's first airplane in 1901, at Fairfield, CT. His monoplane,  called No. 21 or the Condor, was based on Count D'Esterno's and  Otto Lilienthal's designs. The brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright were two Americans who are  gener … ally credited with inventing and building the world's first  successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and  sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on 17 December  1903 in Kitty Hawk, NC on December 17, 1903. Orville and Wilbur Wright designed and flew their Flyer plane in December 1903. Five people were said to have witnessed the flight including John T. Daniels who took photographic evidence. Claims that Whitehead beat the Wright Brothers to the record first emerged in 1937. View. comments. The Wright Brothers are famous for flying the world's first successful airplane in 1903 - yet they may have been beaten to the record two years earlier, according to a prestigious aviation journal. The Wright Brothers were NOT the first to fly a plane-a German pilot beat them to it two years earlier in a flying car, claims leading aviation journal. 1  Gustave Whitehead is believed to have flown his Condor plane in August 1901 - more than two years before the Wright Brothers' infamous flight.

The first turbojet aircraft to fly was the Heinkel He 178 V1 first prototype of the German Air Force, the Luftwaffe, on August 27, 1939 in Rostock (Germany). The first flight of a jet engined aircraft to come to popular attention was the Italian Caproni Campini N.1 motorjet prototype that flew on August 27, 1940. It was the first jet aircraft recognised by the Federation Fédération Aeronautique (aéronautique internationale at the Time The german he 178 program was still). kept secret Frank Whittle, an English inventor and RAF officer, developed the concept of the jet engine in 1928, Hans von Ohain in Germany, a decade later developed the concept independently at the end of the 1930s. Rocket-powered jet aircraft were pioneered in Germany. The first aircraft to fly under rocket power was the Lippisch Ente, in 1928. The Ente had previously been flown as a glider. The next year, in 1929, the Opel RAK.1 became the first purpose-built rocket plane to fly.

Wh … ile some argue that Santos Dummont (Brazilian) invented the  airplane while he was in France there is no evidence of any actual  physical works done to support the claim, there are no patents so  the credit goes to the Wright Brothers who filed the first patent.

The first airplane to take flight was built by the Wright brothers  in Ohio USA and was transported first to North Carolina and flown  for its first time there.
