Then, 115 years ago on on December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright achieved what many thought impossible-flight by a powered heavier-than-air aircraft. This image is of the Wright Brothers' 1903 Flyer, which is on display at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC. (Credit Image: © Smithsonian/ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)
