Skyhifallguy is doing pretty well for a troll
He is, but it's rare to get one of this quality.
Not since the days of
SSG and his subsequent personas.
But I think the wrights invented the airplane
You are entitled to think whatever you like, but an argument needs to be backed with facts, which thus far you have failed in doing. If indeed we accept that the Wrights did invent the aeroplane, the question becomes, "why did they not patent it". All the patent fights were over the use of means of control, not the fact that others were building aeroplanes. Ipso facto, they did not invent the aeroplane. And no one is taking anything away from the Wrights achievements which were magnificent, although their subsequent actions put aeronautical development in the US back many, many years, to the extent US military aviators had to fly foreign aircraft during WW1, and the US industry built British designed aircraft.
