Yours shows a 1905 replica
Noyade, I must confess I skipped over the 1903 Flyer because it was not a practical aircraft, in as much, much development work was still to be done, particularly with the ability to make turns, a full turn being first achieved by Wilbur on the 20th September 1904. The following may give some insight as to the issues the Brothers still had to overcome following their 1903 success.

The following deals specifically with the 1903 model.

Has anybody got any details of the machine or results regarding the 100th anniversary celebratory attempt with the USAF Lady Pilot
This one Haraka?
