Take a look at the following:<br /><br />In 1878 their father, who traveled often as a bishop in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, brought home a toy "helicopter" for his two younger sons. The device was based on an invention of French aeronautical pioneer Alphonse Pénaud. Made of paper, bamboo and cork with a rubber band to twirl its rotor, it was about a foot long. Wilbur and Orville played with it until it broke, and then built their own.[13] In later years, they pointed to their experience with the toy as the initial spark of their interest in flying.[14]<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers<br /><br />Paper airplane gliders may be related to kites originally, but that isn't known for sure. Leonardo DaVinci was known to be interested in flight, but according to the San Diego Aerospace Museum, whether he actually tried to fly a paper plane is unverified. Not much else is on record until the 1800s, when experimentors such as George Cayley tried flying linen gliders. Paper airplane gliders appeared at some point in the early 1900s.<br />http://www.ehow.com/about_6402444_paper-airplane-gliders.htmlSocrates_Is_Mortalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11979487483897210762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421840902573827780.post-78464771335021264772011-03-29T20:23:33.325-05:002011-03-29T20:23:33.325-05:00Looks awesome, pal!
