Clement Aders Avion III (yes, he tried twice before) was powered and flew in the 1890's.
There were no flight controls and the pilot was only aboard for the ride but it was powered manned flight, that is why the Wrights achievement is so specific as I pointed out.
AMM, you are doing exactly what I said and changing tack to suit your point. First it was 'first computer' then it becomes (when you are wrong) first home desktop computer. You can win any argument with this method, I've used it myself :lol:
EDIT, I made a mistake! The Avion came later, it was the Eole that was the first powered aircraft to get up off the ground under its own power, in October 1890, here's a link.
