The company designed built and serviced bicycles.
The brothers were still focused on how they could fly so they started toying with different designs of bicycles and the idea of making one fly. At the location in Dayton Ohio they started working on the airfoil design. Airfoil is the design of the wing or rotor depending on which is used to keep the aircraft in flight. To test the design the brothers built a wind tunnel. In this wind tunnel they tested over 200 different wing and propeller designs.
During all this time the brothers testing different machines nothing is working a fabric covered glider the flight was successful but there was no way to steer. This will lead to the brothers to the biggest and best aviation discovery ever. They decided that maybe the fabric covered glider would work if it had a motor and a way of controlling the steering. So they come up with a 12 horsepower water cooled engine. Now if they could just steer the brothers set out to find a way to steer this flying machine and eventually come up with the three axis aerodynamic control. This control is still used today taking the pitch yaw and roll into consideration the brothers had finally come up with a way to control their
