. >> no langley died in 1906 and i was one of the reasons the u.s. government was very skeptical about the right brothers and turned them away is that they had invested a lot of money into lately's efforts to turn his successful steam powered models into an airplane that could carry a human being and that project did not succeed and it's a very interesting contrast because the right brothers were private. they funded off their bike shop in they could keep it private. legalese was public, his government money and he had somebody to answer to and if you go out to the tip of hands point and look out towards alexandria that is where the second crash happened it's hovered straight in the air and went into the water and almost killed a pilot. i am a huge fan of langley, i think they had an extraordinary thing going on. if the right brothers hadn't done it and lately hadn't been engaged this is one of the stupid games of history but if lately had more time and money and, i think they would've eventually made it work and what happened was that in the patent

so this is being funded by the naca in langley, virginia. and a young engineer who has a 20-foot wind tunnel that he starts playing with the idea of a cowling for a radial engine. it's design number ten that results in flowing air through the cowling to cool the engine while it's controlling the streamline of the air on the outside of the cowling. and so that technology is what makes the vega such an important aircraft in terms of efficiency and it maximizes its ability to fly 165 miles per hour cruise and the ability to fly passengers than what the original design of the airplane was for. and so the naca cowling which wins the attractive of the highest award for achievement in aviation, still given today, jack nor throp takes it and puts it on this airplane. he also thinks about this is a high-wing airplane. it's a cana lever wing, but where with you put the landing gear on this? you have these big rubber tires and wheels that create drag. so his idea is, well, i'll put pants on the tires and the wheels. and so there's tear-dropped streamli
