		The Wright brothers perfected their design to the point where they could sustain flights of 24 miles in which they could bank, turn and do "figure eights." But in 1905, when the Wright brothers offered their invention to the United States army, it was rejected without any consideration.
		Wright bought his company and installed him as Chief Engineer, starting what would be their principal business for the next 40 years.
		While the Company became involved in a number of businesses during the coming years, it was during this decade that the cornerstones of what the Company is today were put into place.
