Hundreds of years later, the Wright brothers made the first successful experiment. A machine carrying a man rose into the sky using its own energy. It was the first plane. Inventors went on to improve planes. Two engineers, Frank Whittle of the U.K. and Hans Von Ohain of Germany, developed the jet plane during the late 1930s.
