It started with the Wright brothers, but they soon became bored with the whole 'flying thing'
They sold their company to the 'Steam-Powered Aviary', who built wings out of brass and copper pipes.
Meet the Steam PilotsThese brave men and women flew their steam powered wings with style
They were known for their impressive mustaches and their ability to steam-whistle the national anthem
The Science Behind the Steam PowerIt's simple, really: steam + wings = lift + propulsion
But don't just take our word for it, read the research papers
Wing Research PapersWe have a whole library of papers on steam powered wings
From 'The Effects of Steam on Wing Efficiency' to 'Steam-Powered Wing Maintenance and Repair'
