The Wright brothers - First fixed-wing aircraft passenger on a few short flights
Time: Thursday May 14, 1908
Place: U.S.
Details: Their contracts required them to fly with a passenger, so they modified the 1905 Flyer by installing two seats and adding upright control levers. After tests with sandbags in the passenger seat, Charlie Furnas, a helper from Dayton, became the first fixed-wing aircraft passenger on a few short flights May 14, 1908.
