Aerodrome Tests
EARLY YEARS -- By the end of 1893, Samuel P. Langley was conducting flight tests from atop a houseboat moored near Quantico on the Potomac River. After numerous failures, on May 6, 1896, his luck changed. He launched Aerodrome Number 5 out over the Potomac. It rose gracefully in a sweeping circle. It circled until its fuel gave outand then settled gently into the water.
