The factory system developed in the late eighteenth century, chiefly due to the advances being made in the textile industry. With inventions such as the flying shuttle, the spinning jenny, and many others, the making of cloth became much faster, and could be done on a much wider scale .
So many inventors, including Orville and Wilbur Wright, tried to invent a flying machine. Most airplane inventors at the time were impulsive and disorganized; they would think of an idea, build a plane as quickly as they could, and then try to fly it as soon as possible. Some people tried strapping wings to their arms. Other inventors created planes that looked like giant bouncing umbrellas.
