Alberto Santos Dumont was born in 1873, in Minas Gerais. He simply invented the airplane. Just imagine: inventing the airplane! Today this is simple for us who are used to flying. But in Santos Dumont's time, it seemed crazy to think of something like that. The first achievement _____ when the 14-Bis airplane, built by him, flew over Paris (the capital of France) in 1906. Afterwards, the technology was gradually developed by Santos Dumont and other people - including by the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright, from the United States, who in their country are considered the inventors of the plane. But the merit belongs to our very Brazilian Santos Dumont!
