Opening opinion on the development of the field:
At the time the Wrights took up the subject in 1896, there were but few aerodynamical works of interest or value in existence. They were dependent upon the meager experiments and tables of Lilienthal and Duchemin and the work of Langley which seemed to verify Duchemin's formula. After spending two years experimenting upon these figures of Lilienthal and Duchemin, the Wrights came to the conclusion that the tables were so much in error as to be of no practical value in airplane design.
