"Study " by Wright brothers

"For example, the Wright brothers studied the flight of birds in designing planes with flexible, twisting wings and an aerofoil shape to provide lift."

This is naive version of the story that is popular between many people and mostly Americans.

What really the Wright brothers studied was constructions of already flying planes of Gustave Whitehead since Wright brothers were supposed to aid him financially (and not to build their own "flyers").

Two years after first flight made in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Wright brothers made that famous several hundred feet jump in something that did not resemble modern airplane (while Whitehead's constructions in fact did and flew several miles landing even on water and staring on its own rubber-wood made wheels from field and not from some rail on dunes... when wind allowed to fly a kite).

So, Dear Author, please don't follow public with hungry pieces of your naive beliefs. There are notary affidavits of what happend at the beginning of twentieth century.


Good luck.
