Just found this over at Google Patents, which until a few minutes ago, we weren't aware even existed.
These ten black and white pages represent the second time the Wright brothers had attempted to patent their designs for a flying machine. Their first attempt was rejected as they had written it themselves. For the second try, they hired a patent attorney.
These simple schematics and descriptions represent the seed from which the modern world has grown. One could argue that it was the steam engine, or the assembly line, but for us, the Wright Flyer remains the benchmark. The jumping off point.
After all, one can trace a direct line from Orville and Wilbur's workshop to us typing these words right now. From flying machines, to modern aircraft, to spacecraft, to satellites, to us here at SuperForest.
Behold:
Gorgeous.
Have a wonderful and inspired day, as you never know where it may take you.
Love to All,
Team SuperForest
