There is one major invention that the Wright brothers invented. That is the first controlled, power driven airplane. Orville Wright flew the first controlled, power driven airplane for 59 seconds, at 852 feet, an incredible feat. The airplane now usually is a form of travel, or is used to carry other things such as food or goods. Airplanes are also used in war for different countries. They can be used to drop bombs or to carry soldiers to different land. So, as you can see, plane flight is very useful today. This is why we remember the Wright brothers so much today.
