But many others have also claimed the honor of the first powered flight, though not necessarily the "sustained and controlled" part, with various degrees of documentation. Most people know the Wrights were first to achieve sustained and controlled powered flight, as documented by witnesses and photographs. Granted there is a bit of controversy over which plane was the first. The first case of powered flight itself should count as pretty cool. Listed below, in approximate order of the era in which they went into production, note World War II has so many of these, however, that we've separated the time era into three folders or would have gone into production had their development not been halted, for whatever reason, note with a few years leeway for models bordering eras, are the some of the most awesome flying machines from reality (along with, where possible, their notable appearances in fiction). What is ok with one might be fatal with another. It should also be noted that all real life aircraft have both flaws and limits. Despite this, Real Life aviation has produced more examples of the Cool Plane than many fiction works put together - so much so that a lot of writers are satisfied to just use Real Life planes in their works without having to imagine their own.
As aircraft became more commonplace over the decades, though, only the most awesome among them ascended to true Cool Plane glory. So it's no surprise that, when powered-flying machines were invented at last in 1903, they were considered to be cool.
