Another sort of aerodrome
And let's not forget (!) the Langley Aerodrome a flying machine designed in the 1890s by Samuel Langley. He designed a number of manned and unmanned aircraft later built by Smithsonian crews. One made a short flight in 1896. Later trials, just a few days before the Wright brothers in 1903, ended in crashes. One example survives at the Smithsonian.
