135 GLENN CURTIS
Glenn Curtis was born in Hammondspcin, New York on May 21, 1878. His father died when he was a boy and Glenn went to work as a -telegraph messenger. He became interested in bicycle and motorcycle racing and won a number of trophies. (In 1907 he established the speed record on motorcycle of 137 miles /220 kilometres - per hour.)
Anxious to get as much power from his motorcycles as possible, Curtis turned his considerable mechanical talents to building motorcycle engines. He became so well known in this area that he was asked to build the engine airship constructed by the United States government – U.S. Army Dirigible No. 1.
In 1908, Curtis designed and flew airplane called The June Bug. It had a tail and was controlled by ailerons (hinged flaps on the wings). This feature differed from that used by Wilbur and Orville Wrig,ht, which employed a method of twisting wings for flight control. The Wright Brothers claimed that Curtis' ailerons violated their patent on airplane design, and they filed a law; suit against Curtis and his company. Years later, a settlement was finally reached but by that time, Curtis's innovations, that is, his new ideas on wing design, had become standard features on aircraft.
On May 29, 1910, Curtis won the $ 10,000 prize sponsored by the newspaper, The New York World, for his flight from Albany to New York City, a distance of 150 miles covered in two hours and fifty-one minutes. The next year, with an airplane which he had equipped with pontoons, he took off from and landed on the surface of Lake Keuka. For his development of this flying boat or hydroplane, Curtis received the Langley Medal from the Smithsonian Institution.
