December 17: First human-airflight by the Wright brothers (1903)

The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, built an airplane and made the first controlled and powered human-flight. The importance of their flight was the three-axis control. Their first patent was also about the invention of an aerodynamic control system for a flying machine. In two years from the first flight, the brothers built the first practical fixed-wing airplane.
