Final answer:

Orville and Wilbur Wright, known for the first powered flight, are the subjects of the student's question, with their work forming the foundation of modern aviation technology. Option A, B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Wright brothers, Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright, are credited with achieving the first powered flight.

This significant accomplishment took place on December 17, 1903, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, after years of experiments and refinements which included running a printing press and a bicycle shop for funding, and using scientific methods to improve flight control.

Despite lacking formal education in engineering or science, they succeeded through ingenuity and practical experience gained from their shop. The Wright brothers' aircraft, the Wright Flyer, eventually became marketable, and their subsequent fame led to demonstration flights in both France and the United States.

Their innovations laid the groundwork for modern aviation technology culminating in marvels like the Boeing 777.

So option A,B.
