It is impossible that the Wrights ever built an aircraft with a prop underneath for the reasons I stated in my previous 2 posts on the subject !
Mate, I could be wrong, but I think you're missing Simplexes point. He's not suggesting the concept happened - he's saying (I think) since the Wrights didn't
correct that article then they're either (at that point in time)...
A) Hiding as per their lawyers request.
or
B)They still (at just prior to 1908) have only been able to perform
power-glide mode.
But then again it is hard to know what he's leading up to.
