  1. George Cayley produced a sketch and model glider in 1804, which is the first known example of a fixed-wing, fuselage, dual-plane tail airplane. The Wright Brothers, of course, flew in 1903. A fascinating account of the development of flight from the viewpoint of aerodynamics is contained in: John D. Anderson, Jr, A History of Aerodynamics. (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge UK) (1997).
