The first proper airplane saw the light of day in 1903, when the Wright brothers successfully flew and held aloft for 12 seconds—a type of glider equipped with a 16-horsepower engine—at Kill Devil Hill in North Carolina, USA. But part of the scientific and aeronautical community considers Alberto Santos-Dumont the father of aviation. During a flight on November 12, 1906, he successfully launched a heavier-than-air aircraft on his own (the Wright brothers had instead used a sort of catapult to take off). The first Italian airplane was built by Aristide Faccioli in 1908.
