Developments by the Wrights.
In 1900 the Wright brothers, William and Orville,
who were then in the bicycle business in Dayton, Ohio, became interested
in Chanute's experiments and communicated with him. The result was that
the Wrights took up Chanute's ideas and developed them further, making
many additions of their own, one of which was the placing of a rudder in
front, and the location of the
Chanute Glider Equipped With Rudder.
