    According to the British newspaper The Independent and the Brazilian Air Force online portal, the first public flight was a Brazilian feat. On October 23, 1906, on board the 14-bis, inventor Alberto Santos Dumont flew over the Bagatelle field in the French capital. The feat was witnessed by more than a thousand people and filmed. In addition, it received recognition from the Paris Aeroclube and was approved by FAI (Federation Aéronautique International) when it fulfilled requirements such as being documented and taking off by its own means - without a ramp or catapult. It should be noted that such a federation was only created in 1905; therefore, the Wright brothers could not do the same with the Flyer flight in 1903. So, we can say that both the American brothers and Dumont played a very important role in the development of aviation. It is possible to consider that Santos Dumont's action was more efficient and had more precise documentation. This does not disregard the Wright brothers' achievement, which is important to support the first experiences aboard a flying machine. Regardless of the discussion about being the first to fly on an airplane, Santos Dumont has received and still receives honors worldwide. In Brazil, he holds the title of Father of Aviation and is one of 45 Brazilians to appear on the list of the "Book of Heroes and Heroines of the Fatherland". However, the Brazilian's contributions did not stop at 14-bis. In 1907, he developed the Demoiselle, considered the first ultralight in history. As Dumont did not register his patents, his ideas were used by other researchers and served as the basis for the birth of commercial airplanes

Since the original commenter said that "THEY were nice people", their grandmother must have been born before 1912. I'll assume that the grandmother was born in 1910. That means that the original commenter themselves must be around 50 years old now. Assuming that they had children, they must also be a parent. Judging from the way the original commenter types, I don't think that they are 50.

      From a commenter on another video.
      To all the Brazilians who think Santos Dumont invented the airplane
      Another common objection of the Santos Dumont camp is that the Wright brothers used a catapult to launch their airplane. They ignore the fact that the Wright brothers made over 40 flights of varying lengths before they built a catapult, including the four flights on December 17, 1903. They also ignore the records of the flights the Wrights made in 1904 and 1905, which show that the catapult wasn't always used. If the Wrights felt they had sufficient headwinds, they took off without it.
      The Wrights continued to use the catapult and launching rail long after they needed to because they felt it offered an advantage over wheels. Aircraft with wheels needed a long take-off run; with a rail the Wrights could be off the ground in as little as 60 feet. Additionally, the rail kept the airplane headed in the proper direction until the air was flowing over the control surfaces fast enough to give the pilot adequate control. Ground loops and other accidents were all too common in wheeled aircraft that had to traverse some distance before the controls became effective.
      In 1905, after the Wrights felt they had worked the bugs out of their invention and had created a practical airplane, they invited the public back again. They sent out about 30 invitations to people whom they thought would make credible witnesses. Several hundred showed up at Huffman Prairie to watch them fly on October 4 and 5 , 1905. On October 5, Wilbur was able to keep the Wright Flyer 3 in the air for 39 minutes, flying 30 complete circuits of the field and covering over 24 miles -- in public.
      Wilbur Wright experienced this anti-catapult chauvinism in France in 1908 when he set an altitude record and the Federation Aeronautique Internationale denied him the record because he made an "assisted" take-off. To prove to the French that whatever assistance the catapult had provided was beside the point, Wilbur took off unassisted on skids alone and set the record anew.
      Two years later, the Wrights gave in to market pressures and began to install wheeled undercarriages on their airplanes. But they still used the same engine they had used when they first flew in France. Power wasn't an issue; they could have added wheels earlier. They simply believed that the catapult and rail system was better.
      Brazilians usually bring up the Wright catapult to imply that the Wright airplanes were somehow less technologically advanced than Santos Dumont's. So it's worth noting that on December 31, 1908, Wilbur Wright made a record-breaking flight where he remained aloft for 2 hours, 18 minutes, and 33 seconds, winning the coveted Coupe de Michelin. During his entire flying career, Santos Dumont never remained airborne in one of his airplanes for more then 15 minutes.

      E, só de fato conseguiram provar em público que o projeto voava, lá em meados de 1908, Santos Dummont havia levantado o primeiro voou em 1906 (registrado na FAI), ou seja, os irmãos tiveram que esperar 4 anos depois.
      OBS: não digo que os irmãos não tiveram contribuição, mas não foram eles os primeiros a fazer o avião levantar voou sozinho.
      Já os irmãos apenas disseram que conseguiram antes, contaram que conseguiram fazer um projeto voar (detalhe: sem propulsão própria e sem público e registros).
      Se arremesso for a dinâmica do que é um avião hoje, então podemos dizer que tudo que arremessamos ao ar, até uma pedra, é um avião?
      Essa é a lógica dessa gente que quer tirar o mérito de Dummont.

    The French public was thrilled by Wilbur's feats and flocked to the field by the thousands, and the Wright brothers instantly became world-famous. Former doubters issued apologies and effusive praise. L'Aérophile editor Georges Besançon wrote that the flights "have completely dissipated all doubts. Not one of the former detractors of the Wrights dare question, today, the previous experiments of the men who were truly the first to fly ..." Leading French aviation promoter Ernest Archdeacon wrote, "For a long time, the Wright brothers have been accused in Europe of bluff ... They are today hallowed in France, and I feel an intense pleasure ... to make amends."
    On October 7, 1908, Edith Berg, the wife of the brothers' European business agent, became the first American woman passenger when she flew with Wilbur-one of many passengers who rode with him that autumn. Wilbur also became acquainted with Léon Bollée and his family. Bollée was the owner of an automobile factory where Wilbur would assemble the Flyer and where he would be provided with hired assistance. Bollée would fly that autumn with Wilbur. Madame Bollée had been in the latter stages of pregnancy when Wilbur arrived in LeMans in June 1908 to assemble the Flyer. Wilbur promised her that he would make his first European flight the day her baby was born which he did, August 8, 1908.
    Orville followed his brother's success by demonstrating another nearly identical Flyer to the United States Army at Fort Myer, Virginia, starting on September 3, 1908. On September 9, he made the first hour-long flight, lasting 62 minutes and 15 seconds.

    About 4 or 5 people actually flew before the Wright Bros and Dumont . But Dumont was the first one to fulfill the 'Fédération Aéronautique Internationale' rules. He took off unassisted, publicly flew a predetermined length in front of experts, and then safely landed. Differently, the Wright's Flyer relied on an incline + the strong/steady winds at Kitty Hawk in order to take-off, in front of nobody. Then for the next Flyers II and III they relied on catapults for taking-off. It doesn't matter if they had already flown 1 zillion miles, but they failed to develop a crucial part of the process - and they did not fulfill the requirements of the International Federation.
    .
    (As well, Dumont's "Demoiselle nº19" was the world's first series production aircraft, by 1908.
    The June 1910 edition of the Popular Mechanics magazine published drawings of the Demoiselle and stated, "This machine is better than any other which has ever been built, for those who wish to reach results with the least possible expense and with a minimum of experimenting." American companies sold drawings and parts for Demoiselles for several years afterward.)

He had no lateral control, so no controllable flight, even after Blieurot flew across the English Channel.

Think about it, no one built a plane before, they where pioneering the technology and technique, there was no definition of a normal airplane like we know today (taking off from wheels) they wanted a windy area near sea level for strong headwinds and optimal engine performance, this was found in kittyhawk. The area they were flying was covered in soft sand, great for the experimental glider and first flights. But how you gonna take off? The idea of a runway is not exactly the first thought in that situatio, they are on sand. So they went with the simple and logical solution of rail and launch system to get they off the ground and into the air. If engines were useless it wouldn't fly for the duration or length that it did (first sustained, powered, controlled, manned flight). Its Like saying planes launched from an aircraft carrier aren't flying becuase they were launched. Disregarding the fact that they planes fly for hours after the launch cus they have engines(obviously) The wright flyer III was made in 1905 and was flying in circles and above tree top level before the 1906 flight of dumont.

    "Flying the AEA June Bug at Hammondsport, N.Y., on July 4, 1908, Curtiss won the Scientific American Trophy for the first public flight of at least 1 km (0.6 mile) with an American airplane." - Encyclopedia Britannica. Glenn Hammond Curtiss was the first american to fly with reliable witnesses, specialists and authorities, and therefore, according to scientists, the Curtiss public flight in 1908 was the first one in American history (2 years after Santos Dumont flight). If we ignore this fact, we are ignoring the scientific method.

      Scientists make no claims about a historical matter such as this, much less does the scientific method have any role to play in it. You are trying to aggrandize your own argument.

      He flied that plane in Baggatele Field, Paris where thousands of people watched as he crossed the airs. The airplanes used today all used the Dumont's model as a base. Besides, you dont see any modern planes using The Flyer as Prototype, why is that? Oh i know! Its because It cant fly alone, needs a huge slingshot to start flying and even then It only flies for like 12 seconds.

      According to the British newspaper The Independent and the Brazilian Air Force online portal, the first public flight was a Brazilian feat. On October 23, 1906, on board the 14-bis, inventor Alberto Santos Dumont flew over the Bagatelle field in the French capital. The feat was witnessed by more than a thousand people and filmed. In addition, it received recognition from the Paris Aeroclube and was approved by FAI (Federation Aéronautique International) when it fulfilled requirements such as being documented and taking off by its own means - without a ramp or catapult. It should be noted that such a federation was only created in 1905; therefore, the Wright brothers could not do the same with the Flyer flight in 1903. So, we can say that both the American brothers and Dumont played a very important role in the development of aviation. It is possible to consider that Santos Dumont's action was more efficient and had more precise documentation. This does not disregard the Wright brothers' achievement, which is important to support the first experiences aboard a flying machine. Regardless of the discussion about being the first to fly on an airplane, Santos Dumont has received and still receives honors worldwide. In Brazil, he holds the title of Father of Aviation and is one of 45 Brazilians to appear on the list of the "Book of Heroes and Heroines of the Fatherland". However, the Brazilian's contributions did not stop at 14-bis. In 1907, he developed the Demoiselle, considered the first ultralight in history. As Dumont did not register his patents, his ideas were used by other researchers and served as the basis for the birth of commercial airplanes.
