Given what was used for a bit of ballast [0] this also means that the wright flyer is the only craft to have parts under powered flight more than 50 million kilometers apart. I feel that means it qualifies for some kind of range record for the foreseeable future. First powered flight vehicle, also paradoxically farthest traveled. Just don't make 'em like they used to.
