	Aviation History
		The first published paper on aviation was "Sketch of a Machine for Flying in the Air" by Emanuel Swedenborg published in 1714.
		Dunne's main contribution to early aviation was stability, which was a key problem with the planes designed by the Wright brothers and Samuel Cody.
		Controversy in the credit for invention of the airplane has been fuelled by Pearse's and Jatho's essentially non-existant efforts to inform the popular press, by the Wrights' secrecy while their patent was prepared, by the pride of nations, and by the number of firsts made possible by the basic invention.

	Aviation History
		Operational aviation is grouped broadly into three classes: military aviation, commercial aviation, and general aviation.
		General aviation embraces all other forms of flying such as instructional flying, crop dusting by air, flying for sport, private flying, and transportation in business-owned airplanes, usually known as executive aircraft.
		Most important were the attempts of Langley, who tested and flew an unmanned quarter-sized model in 1901 and 1903 before testing a full-scale model of his machine, which he called the aerodrome.

		When the Wrights returned home in late August 1901 they were discouraged and said they doubted they would ever resume their experiments.[28] Wilbur is quoted as saying the problems of flight were still so difficult that "man would not fly for fifty years." But home, rest and a new approach changed their mind.
		He gave he and his brother the credit for analyzing the cause of the instability problem in their 1901 glider without mentioning Spratt.[42] Orville wrote that it was after their 1901 gliding tests they became convinced of the need for more accurate aeronautical data.
		The letter Spratt sent to the Wrights on November 21, 1901 in which he showed them his design was not in the Wright files when their papers were released for examination after Orville’s death.

		The Wrights returned to Dayton after the 1901 gliding season disappointed in their work.
		The wind tunnel tests of 2001 are important for several reasons: they confirm the performance of the glider as reported by the Wrights in 1901, and extend our understanding of the Wrights' work at what proved to be a critical time in the development of aviation.
		The reproduction glider is currently on display at the College Park Aviation Museum, College Park, Maryland.

		They were superb, self-trained engineers.The Wright brothers moved toward the development of a practical flying machine through an evolutionary chain of seven experimental aircraft: one kite (1899), three gliders (1900, 1901, 1902) and three powered airplanes (1903, 1904, 1905).

	Great Aviation Quotes: Piloting

		Before the Wright brothers ' innovation of the wind tunnel, scientific studies of aerodynamics had been carried out using a "whirling-arm apparatus" first developed by Sir George Cayley in the 1800s.
		The Wright brothers, working with Octave Chanute invented and built a simple wind tunnel in 1901 to study the effects of airflow over various shapes while developing their revolutionary Wright Flyer.
		The Wright wind tunnel was used more recently to test modern low-speed fliers, such as the human-powered "Albatross".
