Orville Wright (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) was an American aviation pioneer who, along with his brother Wilbur Wright, achieved the first powered, sustained, and controlled airplane flight on December 17, 1903. Born in Dayton, Ohio, Orville initially pursued a career in printing but later opened a bicycle repair and sales shop with Wilbur. Their interest in flight was sparked by a toy helicopter given to them by their father, and they conducted extensive research and experiments, culminating in their historic flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Orville continued to contribute to aviation advancements until his death in 1948.
