Wind test chamber66 viewsNo one would make the engine for the Wright Bros. first plane due to the expense and folly. They had to learn everything they could themselves about engines, propellers, aerodynamics, etc. so they could build it themselves. The only documentation they had seemed to be in error after a few test flights so they had to do all new testing with whatever test machines they could build.Apr 21, 2008
