  • @malinko35 Not sure about what you mean by a machine. It had wings, engine, propeller, ailerons (they did not work very well), 3 wheeled landing/takeoff gear, rudder, and elevator. The prop, was poorly designed, however the engine had 15 h.p. and was a bit of clever engineering. The 2 piston engine had pistons that worked in both directions. So effectively had power going in both directions. Some think of it as effective as a 4. Seems like a machine to me.

  • @cashstore1 I never said it wasn't flight, just that the glider wasn't a machine.

  • @malinko35 Can you tell me where you got that info? I have done a bit of research on it and it all points to a true flight. Not very well controlled, however. He flew over a 1000 feet.

  • It crashed because Santos Dumont invented the airplane

  • merry chistmis

  • Very nice and almost 100% accurate... LOOKS LIKE FUN! can i get a ticket? what are your fares?

  • The Flyer III flying this way??? imagine the Flyer I.....Now I now 14 Bis is the first airplane..sure..later Dumont made Demoiselle...wonderful plane...

  • Santos Dumont rules...

  • 17 people like the Smithsonian 

  • here's the problem with replicating the wright flyer accurately: it must always crash.
