I don't like this. The Wright Brothers patents were _extremely_ broad and they aggressively pursued anyone they thought infringed on their patents. Most aircraft development moved to Europe, which is why we use the terms "empennage," "aileron", and "fuselage." If Wilbur died thinking he wasted his engineering talent, he should have spent more time engineering and less time litigating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers_patent_war https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers_patent_war
