From Inventing aviation
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The United States of America (US) had a large community of inventors working on aeronautics and aviation. It hosted the Aeronautical Navigation Conference at 1893 World's Fair, possibly one the most important international meeting to precede the development of the airplane.

The US was home to Octave Chanute, Samuel Pierpont Langley, Gustave Whitehead, the Wright Brothers, Glenn Curtiss, and many other influential figures.

Patents

Its patent office during this period was called the United States Patent Office. The USPO used an examination system and often sent applications back for revisions, resulting in a longer process and more rejected applications compared to other offices around the world.

Manufacturing

The USA lagged behind Europe in aircraft manufacturing during the 1910s. Excepting the Curtiss hydroplane, those it shipped were reportedly used for training, not on the front lines. However, USA did ship a large volume of aircraft parts.[1]

Notes

The United States had:
