Wright Brothers make history with first powered flight at Kitty Hawk in 1902

Over 120 years ago, in 1902, the Wright Brothers performed the first controlled, sustained, powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. 

On December 17, a team of US students unveiled the first plane built there since the original Wright Brothers’ creation, unveiling a raft on the exact day the Wright Brothers first took flight over a century ago. 

The aircraft was built over 2 years. More than 100 people, including Paul Wright-Jameson — a great-great-nephew of Wilbur and Orville Wright — gathered at Kill Devil Hills to celebrate the moment.
