Aerospace International contains this interesting little piece!
Test pilots from Edwards Air Force base flying a simulator fitted with the flying characteristics of the original 1903 Wright Flyer were all unable to keep the craft airborne for one second without crashing.
The pilots practised on a Learjet 24 simulator adapted by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
The Institute also ran a series of wind tunnel tests on models and full scale versions of the Flyer, all of which indicated that the aircraft was unstable and very difficult to handle.
I'll bet the Pax River and ETPS graduates would fancy their chances!
