    Wait, really? I heard that what happened is they’d decided to be sneaky by patenting the control system for a heavier-than-air flying machine since they couldn’t patent the idea of the machine itself. Do you have sources I can research?

      Their control system also sucked. The Wright Flyer at the Smithsonian has aftermarket ailerons.
