"In my essay, read before the Aëronautical Society at their first meeting in June, 1866, I pointed out reasons why man flight could not succeed with only single plane-surface, and, therefore, duplicated them as separate aëroplanes—a name given by myself—though they are properly curved surfaces." See Wenham, 1866, On aerial locomotion and the laws by which heavy bodies impelled through the air are sustained. "This system of combined planes has been found so essential that they have been adapted by subsequent experimenters."
