The Wright brothers who invented the aircraft were creative from a young age, and because of this skill, they fulfilled their imagination and dreamed of making the aircraft and even completed it. His father, who was bishop at the United Braden Church in Huntington, America, gave him a toy helicopter, which encouraged both brothers to fly in the air.

The helicopter, made of paper, rubber and bamboo, was based on an invention by French aeronautic scientist Alphonse Penaud. Both brothers were excited about this toy and they played with it until it was broken.

On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright, who commissioned the first aviation, continued to develop aircraft by considering the design of the bicycle and adding various components to it. He made several air-flying gliders, and eventually his dream of building an airplane came true. Both had a very good understanding of machine technology which helped them in the manufacture of helicopters. The Wright brothers received the full help of their family in fulfilling their dreams.
