	AEA June Bug
		The June Bug (or Aerodrome #3) was an early aircraft designed by Glenn Curtiss and built by the Aerial Experiment Association in 1908.
		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.
		From October and November, the June Bug was modified by adding floats to it in an attempt to create a seaplane.

	Glenn H. Curtiss
		The June Bug is an historic aircraft by virtue of its bringing manned flight totally into the public realm, thus making Glenn Curtiss forever associated with it.
		The June Bug, and the White Wing before it, featured the innovative Curtiss "tricycle" type landing gear, which is now commonplace on modern aircraft.
		When the June Bug made the first "pre-announced", officially observed flight in America on July 4 th 1908, Glenn Curtiss performed the first of three media events that would truly establish him as a major figure in early American aviation.

		On June 25, the June Bug made a flight of 1040 meters and thus qualified as a potential winner of the Scientific America's Cup for the first flight over one kilometer in distance.
		None the less, the June Bug did not succeed as a seaplane and was placed in a boathouse on the shores of Lake Keuka to rot.
		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.

		After several preliminary flights ranging from 456 to 1,266 feet, the aeroplane, which has been christened the "June Bug," on June 25 made the two longest flights that have ever been publicly accomplished by a heavier-than-air flying machine in America at any accessible place.
		As noted above, the June Bug's flight on the 4th of July was the first publicly announced flight in America.
		I believe that today's airplane owner will be a bit amazed to discover that his or her airplane and the 1908 June Bug - with its ailerons, tricycle landing gear, wheel, V8 engine and single high-speed propeller - are basically the same.

		When an AEA member, Lieutenant Thomas Selfridge, wrote to the Wrights in January 1908 for information about aircraft construction, the Wrights answered and referred him to their patent and other publications for more details.
		The Wrights had corresponded with the AEA from time to time, reminding them that they held lateral control patents for which they expected royalties if the Association's aircraft were sold commercially or reaped a profit from exhibition fees.
		The company built the "Gold Flier", sometimes known as the "Golden Bug", which, in an attempt to avoid the ailerons the Wrights had described in their patent, introduced ailerons that were mounted between the two biplane wings.

		Curtiss flew an airplane named the June Bug sponsored by the Aerial Experimental Association (AEA), a private organization formed by Alexander Graham Bell in 1907.
		Curtiss was not too concerned about the Wrights because Bell had assured members of the AEA that the ailerons used on the June Bug, instead of wingwarping, would circumvent the Wright’s patent.
		T. Selfridge, assigned to the AEA by the army, wrote a letter to the Wrights seeking advice on the construction and performance of their machines.

		The third of these, the June Bug, was successfully demonstrated by Curtiss on July 4, 1908, when he won the Scientific American Trophy.

		Now AEA Technology of Harwell, Oxfordshire, wants aircraft (GB 2 341 094) to recirculate the air through a plasma device or a microwave reactor.
