Orville and Wilbur Wright always loved figuring out how things work, and from the day they received a toy wind-up helicopter as kids, they were especially focused on solving the puzzle of flight. Eventually, that curiosity--combined with lots of hard work--led to an invention that changed the world: In 1903, the Wright Brothers created the world's very first successful airplane.
