Some early attempts at flight

These first two contraptions need the word "fail" on them somewhere:)





The Wrights did it right. Building kites, wind tunnels, inventing propellers and taking into account maneuverability & control.
It's hard to believe that the airplane was invented in 1903 and we were on the moon by 1969.



I think maybe only the invention of the telephone/internet trumps the advent of flight... If even that does.
