Wright brothers viewed flying machine as sport not weapon
By Bob Considine. The Wright brothers aimed for a powered heavier than air craft as a sport device and observation tool rather than a military weapon. They built a 140 pound, 11 horsepower engine with Charles E. Taylor, achieved the Kitty Hawk first flight in 1903, and faced trials before success, while Wilbur warned against profit from invention. Orville lived to 1948 and supported bombing in war, yet invested in stock and limited flying.
