Glenn Curtiss
Developments in the U.S. Like the Wright Brothers – Glenn Curtiss was a bicycle shop owner and he even raced cycles. Curtiss was a natural with his engineering talents. He developed motorcycles under the name Hercules with rugged, reliable engines.
Developments in the U.S. In 1907, Curtiss became known as the “Fastest Man on Earth” Raced a motorcycle 136.3mph. His engines were light and powerful – which caught the interest of Thomas Baldwin – a balloonist.
Developments in the U.S. Baldwin’s airship with the Curtiss engine became the first powered dirigible in the U.S. Another of Curtiss engines was used to power the first U.S. Army aircraft the dirigible – SC-1
Aerial Experiment Association Alexander Graham Bell asked Curtiss to join him in the AEA. The AEA was Alexander Graham Bell Glenn Curtiss Lt Thomas Selfridge Thomas Baldwin John McCurdy Goal of AEA design and develop aircraft further developments in the aviation industry.
