	Curtiss-Wright Corporation - Wing Warping, Ailerons, and Litigation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		To effect wing-warping, it was necessary to twist the aircraft's wings differentially; the trailing edge of the outer right wing twisted upward, the corresponding area of the left wing, downward.
		The Wrights' wings were flexible enough to allow this and were suitably connected by steel wires to a shoulder harness worn by the pilot.
		White Wing was the first airplane in history to incorporate ailerons, followed shortly by Curtiss' June Bug and every airplane subsequently built by the AEA.

		wing warping, as well as the entire system that allowed the aircraft to be controlled in forward flight.
		So when an AEA member, Lieutenant Thomas Selfridge, wrote to the Wrights in January 1908 for information about aircraft construction, the Wrights answered promptly and also referred him to their patent and other publications for more details.
		The first powered aircraft built by the AEA was called the Red Wing, after the color of its silk fabric wings.

		The second AEA plane, White Wing, so named for its white muslin wing fabric, had the same six-day lifespan as Red Wing, but it was a major step forward because it was controllable.
		The AEA seemed to him too scientifically high-minded for such a goal, so he defected from the Bell group; and on March 19, 1909, the Herring-Curtiss Company was incorporated for the purpose of manufacturing “balloons, aeroplanes, airships, [and] flying machines of any and all types.
		Curtiss abandoned the arched wings for sturdier parallel wings, replaced the wing-tip ailerons with a pair of larger ailerons mounted between the wings, reduced the wing span for greater speed, and mounted a watercooled engine for greater reliability.

		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.
		The AEA's test flights were completely public; they would not risk the accusation of infringing on the Wrights' design.
		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.

		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.

	AEA Red Wing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Red Wing (or Aerodrome #1) was an early aircraft designed by Thomas Selfridge and built by the Aerial Experiment Association in 1908.
		It was named for the bright red color of its silk wings - chosen to achieve the best result with the photography techniques of the day.
		On March 12, Frederick W. Baldwin piloted the aircraft off the frozen Keuka Lake near Hammondsport, New York in what would be the first public demonstration of a powered aircraft flight in the United States.

		ANSWER: The White Wing was the first plane in North American to have ailerons.
		The AEA consisted of several aviation enthusiasts Bell brought together to build a practical airplane using $20,000 that Graham’s wife, Mabel, contributed toward the effort.
		The White Wing was the second airplane the group developed, the first being the Red Wing.

		The White Wing (or Aerodrome #2) was an early aircraft designed by Frederick W. Baldwin and built by the Aerial Experiment Association in 1908.
		The wings were equipped with ailerons controlled by a harness worn around the pilot's body; leaning in one direction would cause the aircraft to bank to follow.
		First piloted by Baldwin himself on May 18, the aircraft flew very well, and three days later, Glenn Curtiss made a flight of 1,017 ft (310 m) in it.

	Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company
		As a member of Alexander Graham Bell's Aerial Experiment Association (AEA), he built the engines for the Red Wing and the White Wing early in 1908, piloted his first plane, and built and flew the June Bug that June.
		The AEA disbanded in 1909, and Curtiss formed the Herring-Curtiss Company with Augustus Herring.
		It had a heavier engine than the Jenny to compensate for the extra weight of the floats and an upper wing that was some 10 feet (3 meters) longer than the lower one.

		The AEA designed and built several airplanes, including the Red Wing which first flew on March 12, 1908.
		This was followed two months later by the White Wing, which employed Bell-contrived ailerons for lateral control, a system that was superior to the wing warping used by the Wright Brothers.
		Curtiss became an enthusiastic flyer, and after the AEA disbanded in 1909, established his own airplane company in Hammondsport, New York.

		Meanwhile, another aviation pioneer was waiting in the wings, building and racing motorcycles, of all things.
		Bell and the AEA realized that some form of lateral control was necessary but they didn't want to infringe on the Wrights' wing-warping patent.
		Since both Bell and Curtiss were accomplished inventors in their own right, they came up with movable flap-like devices for use on the wings.

		Bell reacted to eyewitness accounts of the 3/20/05 flight with, "All subsequent attempts in aviation must begin with the Montgomery machine."
