	AEA June Bug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The AEA contacted the Wright brothers, offering them the chance to make an attempt first, but when they declined the opportunity, Curtiss took to the air on July 4, flying 5,360 ft (1.6 km) in a flight of 1 minute 40 seconds, and therefore collecting the trophy and a $US 25,000 cash prize.
		Amidst the publicity following the flight, the Wrights sent a warning to Curtiss that they had not given permission for the use of "their" aircraft control system to be used "for exhibitions or in a commercial way".
		In fact, none of the AEA's aircraft used a wing-warping system like the Wrights' for control, relying instead on triangular ailerons designed by Alexander Graham Bell, which he successfully patented in December 1911.

	AEA Cygnet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cygnet (or Aerodrome #5) was an extremely unorthodox early aircraft, with a wall-like "wing" made up of 360 tetrahedral cells.
		It was a powered version of the Cygnet kite designed by Alexander Graham Bell in 1907 and built by the newly-founded Aerial Experiment Association.
		On December 6, Thomas Selfridge piloted the aircraft as it was towed into the air behind a motorboat, eventually reaching a height of 168 ft (51 m).

		Curtiss was the engine expert of the AEA, a group of young men who sought to design and build an airplane, mentored by Bell and financed by Bell and his wife.
		During the construction of Cygnet in Nova Scotia, Curtiss had to return to his factory to supervise the assembly of various engines intended for their aircraft, including Thomas Baldwin's airship which was under construction in Hammondsport at the time.
		The AEA was flying, Tom Baldwin was building airships; a Hungarian built a light monoplane; a Connecticut man built and flew a tethered helicopter; another inventor was building a huge dirigible--all with Curtiss engines.

	Alexander Graham Bell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The strategy of the AEA was reminiscent of Chanute’s approach a decade earlier—each of the members would design an aircraft that would be outfitted with a Curtiss engine and tested, in the hope that five different approaches would yield the best possible airplane.
		Graham Bell’s Cygnet II was a tetrahedral kite (the craft had to be towed to become airborne), one of many constructed and tested.
		The successes of the AEA that spring and summer had cast some doubt as to whether the Wrights were the best airplane manufacturers available, especially when it was reported that the AEA was preparing to sell their planes at one-fifth the Wrights’ price.

		Below are photos of the Cygnet I. They show the raft being towed by a rowboat; the place for the pilot; and the construction of the launching arms.
		The A.E.A. had reached its goal and the 4 men were delirious and the fact that tetrahedrals were not involved had little effect on Bell's own joy.
		The A.E.A. patents were finally cleared in 1915 thus leaving them free to be sold to the Curtiss Aircraft Company in 1917 by Charles Bell for $5899.49 in cash and $50,000 in Curtiss stock.

	DESIREE COOPER: Selfridge base is a link to birth of flight
		Among the AEA's four principals was a young West Point graduate, Thomas Selfridge, the Army's foremost aeronautical expert.
		The Wright brothers gladly shared information with the AEA, and in December 1907, the organization tested the Cygnet, more kite than flying machine, which remained in flight for seven minutes before crashing 168 feet.
		They quietly went to work while the members of the AEA made public spectacles of their achievements, entering contests and jockeying for commercial contracts.

	Glenn H. Curtiss
		The AEA, composed of Bell as mentor, Douglas McCurdy, Frederick Baldwin, Lt. Thomas Selfridge, and Glenn Curtiss, went on to build aircraft as a team and test and perfect each other's theories and methods for improving flight performance.
		The AEA decided that the June Bug, with Curtiss as pilot, was ready to compete and notified the Aero Club of America that it would go after the first Scientific American trophy and its $2,500 purse.
		In late 1908, Dr. Bell announced that the AEA had achieved its goals in heavier-than-air aircraft research and would disband at the end of March 1909.

	Article by Mabel Hubbard Bell, 1909, with transcript: a machine-readable transcription.
		Later it was found that it would be impossible to finish assembling the Cygnet II until nearly time for the Association to expire by time limit, Sept. 30, thus cutting off altogether the opportunity of the fifth member to have his machine made, if it was postponed till the completion of the Cygnet II.
		To the members of the A.E.A. his loss came as a severe personal blow, and as Mrs Alexander Graham Bell expressed it, “The beautiful bond of companionship which we called the ‘Aerial Experiment Association’ was broken when Tom Selfridge sealed his devotion to our cause with his life”.
		Owing to the delay in the completion of the motor and its arrival from Hammondsport, it was not until late in Feb., 1909, that the associates were able to start their experiments on the ice which was now as smooth as glass.

		Although the Canadian Army was unimpressed and felt that airplanes would never amount to much in actual warfare, AEA was finally invited to the base at Petawawa to show their machine.

		Their first major engineering effort was the Cygnet I, an unpowered manned kite with thousands of tetrahedral cells in a wing having a span of 42 feet.
		On December 6, 1907, Lt. Selfridge was the first pilot of the Cygnet I on its maiden voyage of seven minutes to 168 feet altitude as it was towed across the Canadian lake known as Bras d'Or.
		The third AEA aircraft was the "June Bug," which won the Scientific American trophy for a flight of over one kilometer.

		Tom Selfridge, who was a US Army Signal Corps officer on temporary duty with the AEA, was recalled to Ft. Myer to participate in the evaluation of the Wright airplane.
		The Wrights regarded all AEA members as scoundrels; they had helped themselves to the Wrights' roll control patents and would be reluctant for any AEA member to even look at their airplane.
		The AEA was saddened and disrupted by Selfridge's death.

		Baldwin crashed because he had no way of controlling the plane's tilt other than throwing his body weight around--not a fun (or safe) way to fly an airplane.

		From the Cygnet to the Silver Dart, the members of the AEA had met their original goal of building a working flying machine.
