Flying bicycles : How the Wright brothers invented the airplane
This paper explores the ways in which Wilbur and Orville Wright thought as they tackled the problem of designing and constructing a heavierthan-air craft that would fly under its own power and under their control. It argues that their use of analogy and their use of knowledge in diagnostic reasoning lies outside the scope of current psychological theories and their computer implementations. The...

Sir George Cayley invented the conventional configuration of the airplane at the turn of the 19 century. Otto Lilienthal realized that building a successful aircraft meant learning how to fly: he became the first hang glider pilot and also the first flight fatality. The Wright Brothers absorbed all that was known in aeronautics before them, but then added their own discoveries and developed the...
متن کاملDo Patent Challenge Rights Lead to Placeholder Lawsuits?
One of the more curious features of patent law is that patents can be challenged by anyone affected by them, at any time.

To avoid this home-court advantage, patent owners may file a patent infringement lawsuit ...
متن کاملThe birth of flight control: An engineering analysis of the Wright brothers’ 1902 glider
In the autumn of 1902 the Wright brothers spent just over eight weeks at their test site in the Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, testing their third Glider design. During the trial period they implemented an inter-linked roll-yaw control system. Together with the forward canard surface, this gave them control over vertical and horizontal components of the flight path. They were...
