History of kites and flight

Gibson Girl Kite : According to the conditions weather, the operator used either the balloon or the kite, which had as a function to support the antenna of the radio of distress.

I find the history of flight very inspiring for Open_Sailing. How an ancient dream came true.
About inhabiting the ocean, I believe the has happened and is still happening here under many forms.
It took such a long time... The transition between the kite and the plane... How exciting is that !!!





Imagine this mad feeling!
...

Now imagine, inventing a soft structure at sea, that would provide an entirely new sensation...

The brothers Wright focused on the shape of the wing and the material to build it... What should be Open_Sailing focus to build the first International_Ocean_Station?
We need to define this for the lab dealing with the question of structure engineering...
A whole new world... What a feeling...
