The first powered airplane was not constructed during WWII; it was The Wright Flyer (1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright). The Wright Flyer was constructed with a pitch charcoal hull, canvas wings, and a modified piston engine. The plane used the "Warp-Wing" system, which rolled by actual pressure on the wing. Two wooden propellers were connected to the engine by bike chains (the Wrights owned a bike shop). The engine was slightly left (adding extra weight) and the right wing was trimmed about an inch (reducing the lift) to compensate. The finished contraption weighed about 655 lbs.
