I'd like to propose an additional section for this page called "flight myths", or something like that, in which to put the Icarus myth (as well as other myths). What do you all say about this? Dominic inquisitive ( talk) 03:02, 11 September 2018 (UTC) Is it appropriate? Dominic inquisitive ( talk) 03:04, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
In section "Airships", there is a line that says:
"…Santos-Dumont went on to design and build several aircraft. The subsequent controversy surrounding his and others' competing claims with regard to aircraft overshadowed his great contribution to the development of airships."
Is it just me, or does this seem somewhat lopsided? What controversy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FavoritoHJS ( talk • contribs) 22:54, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
"According to the April 1907 issue of the Scientific American magazine,[76]" SA was a weekly. This is the link for the issue. [1]
The full quote might give a more accurate impression: "These men have undoubtedly made flights with their aeroplane, and these flights have been witnessed by a considerable number of people. The general appearance of their machine is known, and other experimenters are making good progress along somewhat the same lines"
Just a small nitpick. On the timeline where it reaches the B2 Spirit, it's actually the outline of an F117 Nighthawk. Should we find a correct one or just leave it as is considering the casual reader wouldn't notice the difference? GansMans ( talk) 02:43, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Is there any source for this. 80.189.101.6 ( talk) 20:53, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
