An airplane is a vehicle that can fly in the air. Planes, helicopters, gliders, airships, and balloons are all different forms of aircraft.

Balloons and airships were the first planes and could rise because they contained a lighter-than-air gas. Sir George Cayley of England and Otto Lilienthal of France were the first people to fly in gliders in the 19th century. However, in the 1880s, the transition to powered flight after the introduction of gasoline engines was possible.

What Were the First Planes Like?

The first airplanes had fixed wings that allowed lift. The engines provided the thrust and control of the aircraft on the surface. In the first weeks of the 20th century, airplanes began to advance, and at that time they were made of wood and tarpaulin so that they could be lighter.
