Aeroplane Co.™ tells the true tale of how two men developed
the first practical aircraft in Dayton, before taking off for the
more aviation hospitable climate of North Carolina. Visitors can

1899 Kite tested their revolutionary aircraft control
system.
1900 Glider hosted their first manned flight.
1901 Glider demonstrated the need for further lift
research.
1902 Glider solved the lift and control problems.
1903 Flyer I was their first controlled powered flight.
1905 Flyer III was the first truly practical aircraft.
Young people from the organization Bishop's Kids will greet
visitors at each timeline station, creating a unique experience
