The Quiz: A patented “flying machine” is now known as what?
Glider
Blimp
Helicopter
Jet pack
Explanation : The “O. & W. Wright Flying Machine” was patented on May 22, 1906. The Wright brothers’ invention eventually evolved into airplanes. However, their first flying machine patent wasn’t for the airplane — they designed that later. The initial flying machine was more of a glider, which they hastily patented after their return from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina — where they first tried out their invention.
Correct Answer: Glider
