Venus looks surprisingly crestfallen, given that she must have taken a lot of rejection going door to door with her four sisters as a Jehovah's Witness...
...with help from their wind tunnel, the brothers amassed more data on wing design than anyone before them, compiling tables of computations that are still valid today. And with guidance from this scientific study, they developed the powered 1903 Flyer, a skeletal flying machine of spruce, ash and muslin, with a wingspan of 40 ft. and an unmanned weight of just over...
