16 February –
Traian Vuia
presents to the
Académie des Sciences
of
Paris
the possibility of flying with a heavier-than-air mechanical machine and his procedure for taking off, but is rejected for being a utopia, adding the comments:
The problem of flight with a machine which weighs more than air can not be solved and it is only a dream.

Wright brothers
file an application for a
patent
for an
airplane
based on the design of their
Glider No. 3
.

31 March –
Richard Pearse
is reputed to have made a powered flight in a heavier-than-air craft, a monoplane of his own construction, that crash lands on a hedge. This date is computed from evidence of eyewitnesses as the flight was not well documented at the time. The flight is claimed to have been around 150 feet (45 m) on his farm at Upper Waitohi, near
Timaru
in south
Canterbury
, New Zealand.
11 May – Richard Pearse is claimed to have made a flight of around 1,000 yards (900 m), landing in the semi-dry bed of the
Ōpihi River
.
27 June – 19-year-old
American
socialite
Aida de Acosta
becomes the first woman to fly a powered aircraft solo when she pilots

[

]
His craft flies up to 200 feet (60 m) a few feet above the ground.
7 October –
Samuel Langley
conducts the first tests of his full-sized man-carrying version of his earlier model
aerodromes
. The pilot,
Charles Manly
, nearly drowns when the machine slides off its launch apparatus atop a houseboat and falls into the Potomac River.
12 November – The
Lebaudy brothers
make a controlled
dirigible
flight of 54 km (34 mi) from
Moisson
to
Paris, France
.
19 November –
Léon Y. K. Levavasseur
demonstrates his
Antoinette engine
, designed as a lightweight powerplant specifically for aircraft.
8 December – Second attempt by Charles Manly to fly Langley's repaired full-sized aerodrome. As with the October 7 attempt the machine fails to fly, tripping on its launch gear and somersaulting into the
Potomac River
, nearly killing Manly. A surviving photograph captures the machine upended on its side as it falls off the houseboat. Langley himself was absent at this attempt but the machine's failure to fly ended his
government
(i.e. U.S. Army) funded attempts at building a successful full sized man-carrying flying machine.
17 December – The
Wright Brothers
make four flights in their
Flyer
at
Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
following years of research and development.
Orville Wright
takes off first and flies 120 ft (37 m) in 12 seconds. This is frequently considered the first controlled, powered heavier-than-air flight and is the first such flight photographed. On the fourth effort,
Wilbur
flies 852 ft (260 m) in 59 seconds.
