Theirbasic requirements for an aircraft were: a) wing-like structures to lift (or support) the aircraft, b)a means of propulsion (propeller and engine), and c) a method of control and balance. Controland balance were recognized to be major problems and so they concentrated their effort on theseaspects. Because an aircraft can fly in three orthogonal directions and also rotate in threeorthogonal directions, learning how to fly is much more complicated than driving an automobilewhich translates and rotates each in one orthogonal direction. They therefore concentrated theirdesign effort on balance and control. Very few of their predecessors gave much attention to thisarea. In fact, although several
