Samuel P. Langley’s Quarter-scale Aerodrome, constructed in 1903, was an unpiloted experimental aircraft powered by a five-cylinder radial internal combustion engine. The aircraft had a silk covering and utilized natural fabric finish, with no sealant or paint. This experimental model was built to test the feasibility of Langley’s aeronautical theories. The aircraft made two short flights, covering 46m and 108m, before being discontinued.
