	Wilhelm Kress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wilhelm Kress (* July 29th 1836 in Saint Petersburg; † February 24th 1913 in Vienna) was a pioneer in aviations and constructor of airplanes.
		Kress came to Vienna in 1873, where he developed the first modern delta-flying hang glider in 1877.
		This hang-glider was a major achievement for the time, where many engineers still struggled with "heavier than air"-developements of non-motorised airvehicles.

	FLYING MACHINES - Wilhelm Kress
		Kress developed a propeller of considerable efficiency which was flexible enough to form its own shape, akin to that of an auger, when under a load.
		Kress' Waterborne Aeroplane was a step-winged three-surface monoplane with a large horizontal tail and large rudders.
		Kress had hoped to utilize a more powerful engine but, it's said, the expense of construction and the unavailability of an engine of the proper weight and power led Kress to use a less expensive, immediately available but considerably less powerful Daimler engine.

	The Pioneers : An Anthology : Wilhelm Kreß (Kress) (1836 - 1913)
		Kress, a German engineer, who for twenty years has patiently labored on an aeroplane in which he has embodied his ideas.
		Kress was a piano maker turned engineer, and in October 1901 the 68-year-old wannabe from Austria (his emperor was offering a big prize for the first powered flight) opened the throttle on his three-winged floatplane and accelerated out across the surface of a reservoir near Tulln.
		Kress never made it off the water (into the air and the history books) because by some oversight his engine was nearly twice as heavy as he had specified.

	Wilhelm Ostwald
		Wilhelm Ostwald, the Nobel-prize winner for chemistry, compiled his Die Farbenfibel (The Colour Primer) in 1916/17 in the hope of developing a better understanding of their perceived harmonies.
		In 1909, Wilhelm Ostwald (1853-1932) — who came from the Baltic — received the Nobel prize for chemistry for his work on catalysis, an area on the fringe of physics, which promised applications in industry.
		Ostwald, who had been instrumental in the foundation of the first Zeitschrift für Physicalische Chemie, was also something of a pioneer outside his own immediate field: in addition to the history of his special subject, he showed great interest in the physical sciences as a whole, as is evident in Ostwalds Klassiker der exakten Naturwissenschaften.

	FLYING MACHINES BEFORE THE WRIGHTS- FLYING MACHINES
		The remarkable series of experimental "Aerodromes" of Samuel Langley and the impressive machine of Wilhelm Kress stand as two of the most promising of the pre-Wright attempts at heavier-than-air flight.
		Unfortunately, due to the prolonged, even bitter, dispute between Orville Wright and the Smithsonian Institution over credit for the First Flight and Glenn Curtiss' rebuilding and use of the Langley "Aerodrome A" in 1914, some still hold Samuel Langley's Aerodromes in suspicion, even contempt, a profoundly mistaken view.
		Wilhelm Kress' great machine may well have flown, but for the eternal and almost universal lack of a proper engine.

		Surrounded by the mountains of his native Austria, Kress figured that the easiest way to fly would be to take off from water.
		The engine wasn't powerful enough to provide actual lift, and he had not designed the plane's floats with "steps" or notches in the front to help break adhesion with the water.
		When Kress tried to turn the craft around to begin take-off, the plane rolled over and sank.

		The students were rejuvenated to the point where we could get some good work done in the remaining week and a half, and they'd had a chance to put what they'd learned into action on a piece that was short enough for them to really scrutinize.
