AERO ENGINES,
ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED IN ORDER OF COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.
~AUSTRIAN, BELGIAN, BRITISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN, U.S.A.~
~Note.~--So far as possible this is a complete list of all the
aero engines of any importance.
Data are confined to what is now being made or actually in use;
untested "show novelties" are ignored.
In the case of some engines it has for various reasons proved
impossible to obtain full data in time for inclusion in this
edition.
In a general way these lists are confined to aeroplane engines.

WRIGHTS (the) (Orville and Wilbur), 7 Hawthorn Street, Dayton, Ohio,
U.S.A. Chevs. Leg. d'Hon. In 1896 the Brothers Wright began to study
aerial flight. In 1900 they were making glides. In 1903 they first
fitted a motor, and on December 17th of that year made a power
flight of about 250 yards. Reports of this were received with
incredulity, and right up to July, 1908, when Wilbur Wright appeared
in France, many people still regarded the Wrights as a myth. Wilbur
Wright easily beat the French machines in circling, etc. He won the
Michelin Cup, being up 2 h. 20 m. 23-1/3 sec. Distance 76-1/2 miles
official record. Actual, estimated at 93 miles. The exploits of
Wilbur Wright put aviation on quite a new footing. Since 1908 the
_Wright_ type has been surpassed by others; but to the Wrights will
always belong the credit of having made a decided step in the
science. Wilbur died of typhoid, 1911.

Constance. It made a small speed against a 12-16 m.p.h. wind. It
also circled. The experiments exhausted the Count's resources until
1905. Details of this and later _Zeppelins_ will be found on the
German dirigible pages in Part A.
