The ChangeThe introduction of the airplane forever changed the way in which people and objects were able to travel. Before the Wright Brothers, there had always been the dream of human air travel. However, nobody had ever successfully been able to achieve this sought-after feat. With the 1903 innovation of the first real airplane, the Wright Brothers changed the course of history. They were able to lay the foundation that future generations would continue to build off of for years to come, as well as provide the United States, and the world, with the opportunity to expand their social, militarily and economic structures.
