Where is the first successful powered airplane flight believed to have taken place?

The first successful powered airplane flight is widely credited to the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, USA. On 17 December 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first flight, which lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet, or about 37 metres. The brothers chose the area for its steady winds and soft sand, which helped with early testing. Their achievement marked a turning point in transportation and aviation history.
