Changes, many of them extremely radical in their nature,
are continually being made by prominent aviators,
and particularly those who have won the greatest amount
of success. Wonderful as the results have been few of
the aviators are really satisfied. Their successes have
merely spurred them on to new endeavors, the ultimate
end being the development of an absolutely perfect aircraft.
Among the men who have been thus experimenting
are the Wright Brothers, who last year (1909) brought
out a craft totally different as regards proportions and
weight from the one used the preceding year. One
marked result was a gain of about 3 1/2 miles an hour in
speed.
