  Langley Aerodrome A
With significant modifications and improvements, Curtiss was able to coax the Aerodrome A into the air for a number of brief, straight-line flights at Hammondsport, N.Y. After the tests, the airplane was returned to the Smithsonian, restored to its original unsuccessful 1903 configuration, and put on public display in 1918.
The Smithsonian finally clarified the history of the Aerodrome A and its later flight testing in its 1942 annual report, satisfying Orville, and thereby clearing the way for the return of the Wright Flyer to the United States and its donation to the Smithsonian in 1948.
The Aerodrome A continued to be displayed in the Smithsonian's Arts and Industries building with a revised label until 1971, when it was removed from public exhibition and restored again by the NASM restoration staff.

 FLYING MACHINES - Langley Large Aerodrome "A"
It is almost certain that Langley had not originally intended to build an Aerodrome capable of carrying an operator, but had planned to refine the larger model Aerodromes.
After rebuilding the damaged Aerodrome "A" (a considerable amount of the damage was caused by a tugboat towing the wrecked flying machine through the water), another test was planned for December of 1903.
Hopefully the acidic atmosphere around the Aerodrome "A"'s later history (in which Samuel Langley played no role, for he died in 1906) and its role in the Wright-Curtiss patent war will some day be seen as distinctly separate from the honorable and quite wonderful series of aerial experiments of which it had been a part.

Langley had decided on a tandem wing configuration — two sets of wings of almost equal span set one behind the other — for what he called his "aerodromes." They had a large dihedral; that is, the wings formed a squashed V when seen head-on.
