Explains Wright Flyer Failure at Fort Meyer
Orville Wright gave United Press a Washington explanation for the Wright flying machine’s failure at Fort Meyer. He said the heavier 1910 craft needs three miles an hour more speed and more power from the engine, and the starting tower is designed for last year’s lighter machine. He noted minor jolts did not affect him in two sudden stops, but the machine taxes the knocks and the operator does not feed them.
