    Yeah, and all the froggies died while gliding their inventions.

    @glup2glup
    True,and remote controles and satelites,something that makes every day possible,were born in Serbia.
    :p

    Just listen to the date that it gives for the first flight of the Wright Brothers (Sep 17, 1903???), if they can’t get the date right, then what else is incorrect, or biased.

    LOL; americans say they are the first for anything. “Aviation was born in america”????
    Did they forget Clement Ader?, Santos Dumont?

    Aviation was born in France

    But i dont tell to discredit dumont. he was the first south american who flew an aircraft, i’m south american and i will forever be proud of this.

    but on that time, landing didnt exist. they just used enormous grass fields, but nevertheless it was dangerous because on that time all planes had weak engines, so they needed a very long distance to reach their taking off speed.
    if you read about dumont’s first flight you will realize it’s true, he needed a very long distance to take off.

    Dude, the wright’s catapult wasn’t totally necessary , it was just a security device, which reveals how great engineers the wrights were.
    i’ll continue…

    man, i’ll tell you i know enough about santos dumont because im studying flight engineery, and i can prove you that dumont wasnt the first man that could fly without help.
    the famous wright catapult was exactly like catapults in an aircraft carrier: helps the plane to take off in a very short distance. f 16, f 18, f 22…many modern planes uses catapults today but that doesnt mean they cannot fly.
    the wright Flyer could take off without the catapult, but , i’ll continue in another comment…

    @lebronchuck
    Please, read more about Santos Dumont. It’s obvious here you don’t knoe much about him. it’s not a matter of nationality here, just give him his credit he deserves as the first man to fly without any help. It’s been well documented, please check it out.

    …and there were many that claim who flew earlier on a uncontrolled hops

    like someone jumping on a bicycle for the very first time balancing for 3 seconds and claim “I can ride a bicyle”

  14. NoCheeseAndNoSocks said on November 6, 2010 at 7:07 pm

    The wright brothers were the first to make a controlled, sustained flight in a powered aeroplane. That is a great acheivement & shouldn’t be put down… but this series leaves out ‘controlled’ & ’sustained’. Many people made uncontrolled, unsustained flights…

    “Aviation was born in the USA?” No way… the series itself admits later that the Wrights ended upin Europe, where it was all happening.

    This series skips over facts leaving so much out and just touching on a few isolated events.

    14 bis also cant be considered a functional plane. it couldnt rotate to left or right, and it crashed on it’s first landing.
    so brasilians, i’m sorry, but you’re totally wrong.
    i dont want to hear next that it was a brasilian and not charles lindbergh who first crossed the atlantic ocean.
    PLEASE!!

  16. lebronchuck said on November 6, 2010 at 8:15 pm

    im tired of listening this bunch of morons, Wright bros made their first flight without the catapult.
    Santos dumont just did the ”first” public demonstration. on 1908, when wilbur exposed his plane on europe, it far surpassed those of all other pilot pioneers in the world. when wright bros were selling their totally functional planes to the us army, dumont was hardly trying to fly.

  17. spitfireJEJ said on November 6, 2010 at 9:15 pm

    The Wrights did not use a catapult at first. They took off on a trolley entirely under the power of the plane itself. The catapult was a later refinement which in any case does not detract from powered controlled and sustained flight.

    Nem foi o Dumont, antes dele muitos trabalharam nisso.Claro que os “Burros” dos USA têm a mania que são os melhores. mas sem os estrangeiros nada feito, ex:os alemães que lhe deram e tec. nuclear.

  19. MrRaiosetrovoes said on November 6, 2010 at 10:35 pm

    Santos Dumont foi o primeiro e ponto final.

  20. gg4rza said on November 6, 2010 at 11:24 pm

    Who gives a shit if they used a catapult, that itself was more inventive that rolling down a hill like all the other morons were doing. And it’s not like the catapult was keeping the plane in the air, it was just another means to get the plane in the the air. So many people mad that two american inventors did it correctly, if they were german you dipshits would be singing a different tune.

    aaaaahhh i stopped watching this video after he said: “aviation was born in america”
    are they trying to brain wash us too?

    this is rediculous…

  22. xxSanjoxx said on November 7, 2010 at 12:26 am

    Aviation was born in America???? Are u fucking kiding me?????? Noooooooooooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, the Writes bros cheated. They used a catapult and not a motor to bring their machine in the air. So who was second???? I think it was Santos Dumont but americans allways wanna be the best and thats why they keep telling the whole world their lies. I only say “Iraq” “Afghanistan” and “9/11″

  23. Bullettube said on November 7, 2010 at 12:39 am

    You’re correct but, the Wrights first used a catapult contraption to get their plane in the air. This was still better then taking off downhill as Lilenthal and others were doing, or being towed behind a team of horses! The Wrights had the advantage, because as you say, they had a “system”, which included a very light motor that they designed.

    avião, made in brasil!!!

  25. Grommo said on November 7, 2010 at 1:20 am

    The title does mention fantasy, which includes the voice over “Aviation was born in America”.
    This completely disregards over 2000 flights in heavier than air aircraft by Otto Lilienthal before 1896.
