Disappointed to not see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Hargrave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Hargrave
whose inventions were
. study of curved aerofoils, particularly designs with a thicker leading edge;
. the box kite (1893), which greatly improved the lift to drag ratio of early gliders;
. work on the rotary engine, which powered many early flying machines up until about 1920.
