Aviation historians now discredit any claims of priority, since the flights all ended in crashes


On October 14, 1897, at Satory, the Avion rolled, took off towards the sky and, before the offical commission, flew a distance of more than 300 yards, the first verified mechanical flight, and made its inventor "the father of aviation", but the meteorological conditions were bad, and Ader evidently did not have much notion of piloting; the Avion could not completely travel the circular course which the commission required, the flying machine left the runway and was damaged. At this point the French government withdrew its funding, but kept the results secret, only reporting them as successful flights after the Wright brothers made their flight.

Richard Pearse (New Zealand) also predates the Wright flight by about 8 months.

But NOBODY can disagree that the Wright Brothers are the Fathers of Aviation with what they did and achieved.

They tried later in the day.......no wind to be found and she didnt get off the ground.  A wire was broken in the process, They were to try again at 2 PM EST but I think the damage was to extensive and with the lack of wind decided to scrap the flight.

American Scientist seems to disagree with you.

I think flight without control and ending in a crash if fine for a kid jumping off a roof, but flight by most definitions, it is not .


I mean come on, throwing a rock is not making the rock fly, is it?

Life in Puerto Rico:
Last weekend a doctor was taking a sunbath under a palm tree, and a coconut fell on his head and killed him.
The guy was a recognized medical doctor.
Killed by a fruit.

Crazy ****.
