		Early attempts at flight are the subject of much debate, both for the often sketchy details of machines and people that have vanished away in time and as a matter of pride for some given group, usually a country.
		Early flying machines, such those that predated the development of practical photography are often doubted for lack of proof, and ancient machines are almost entirely dismissed for a lack of credibility.
		Balloons and other lighter-than-air craft 'fly' by displacing more than their weight in air to rise, but a flying machine must supply an upward force some other way to remain aloft.

	World Mysteries - Strange Artifacts, Ancient Flying Machines
		And although it was theorized that heavier-than-air flight was possible as early as the 13th century, and in the 16th century Leonardo da Vinci designed winged aircraft and a crude kind of helicopter, it wasn't until the Wright brothers made their first successful flights at Kitty Hawk in 1903 that powered flight became a reality.
		According to ancient Indian texts, the people had flying machines which were called "Vimanas." The ancient Indian epic describes a Vimana as a double-deck, circular aircraft with portholes and a dome, much as we would imagine a flying saucer.
		Atlanteans used their flying machines, "Vailixi," a similar type of aircraft, to literally try and subjugate the world, it would seem, if Indian texts are to be believed.

		Early aviation pioneers were also impressed with the perfect flight of the liana seed.
		And so two flying pioneers, Etrich and Wels, made use of the liana seed in designing a tailless glider.

		These fall into two categories: (l) manmade craft that resemble airplanes and fly with the aid of birdlike wings, and (2) unstreamlined structures that fly in a mysterious manner and are generally not made by human beings.
		Other examples are military machines of the kind described in the Arthasastra of Kautilya, written in the 3rd century B.C. These include the sarvato-bhadra, a rotating wheel that hurls stones, the sara-yantra, an arrow-throwing machine, the udghatima, a machine that demolishes walls using iron bars, and many more.

	Leonardo Da Vinci and His Flying Machines
		A huge metamorphosis in Leonardo's approach to flying machines and flying occurred as he went from the theory of flight to actually attempting flight.
		In his early designs, if you scroll down to the six graphics below, the platform model for example, seen in the upper left hand corner and the close up of the cockpit detail in the graphic further down, although it looks as though it could possibly work, in reality it was way too heavy.
		In the glider designed by him, the flier's position is conceived in such a way as to allow him to balance himself by adequately moving the lower part of his body.

		Looking at these early birds made of wood, wire and cloth, even the propellers are wood, it is hard to believe that only 60 years later we would land on the moon.

		When I initially read Ed's message, I thought he was thinking of the 1923 Gerhardt Cycloplane (http://www.aerofiles.com/gerhardt.jpg), as that plane is often featured in a 'blooper' reel of early aircraft that crash, hop about, or otherwise fail to fly.
		There is a nice website about Horatio Phillip's flying machines at http://firstflight.open.ac.uk/phillips/phillips_aircraft01.html with the 1904 design that Doc refers to being second from the bottom.
		BTW, 'flying machine' was the term used by inventors and engineers during the late 19th and early 20th C, for their aircraft, regardless of how successful or not these machines actually were.

		Ancient flying machines, gliders, or balloons if they existed are not generally known about or recorded at any level of accepted validity.Along with many inventions developed during the Industrial revolution, such as the steam engine, flying machines followed a slow process of study and analysis by various people but culminated in a pivotal design.
		The source of trouble is the transition between what are considered gliders and what are powered aircraft.Just as objects that displace less water than their weight will sink (see buoyancy), objects that displace less than their weight in air sink also.
		Also considered to be important is the ability in early flying machines to control where the device goes, very important for making the device practically useful.Anything that falls can trade height for some forward motion, so what becomes very important with powered flying machines is turning stored energy into lift.

		Dellschau apparently spent his retirement until his death in 1923 in self-imposed exile, avoiding his extended family with whom he lived, painting flying machines in the attic: they remembered him as a small, hunched man with a gruff German accent and chronic sniffle.
		His flying machines, or 'Aeros' as he titled them, are sequentially numbered and carefully rendered to demonstrate their mechanical capabilities: their valves, folding wings, retractable wheels, and billowing canopies are controlled by crews of men.

		Both were set in the early days of aviation, when people were experimenting with all sorts of flying contraptions; and both involved lots of chasing around and slapstick sabotage.

		Edson Gallaudet did not patent his system of wing warping for lateral control of flying machines and so the wing warping method of lateral control was open for subsequent investigators.
		The Gallaudet "Hydro-Bike" of 1898 is currently on exhibit in the Early Flight Gallery at the National Air & Space Museum.
		Edson F. Gallaudet was very active early during the pre-WWI period, and designed, built and flew a number of very interesting aeroplanes, including the legendary Gallaudet Bullet.
