Samuel P. Langley’s Langley Quarter-scale Aerodrome, built in 1903, was an experimental, unpiloted aircraft. Powered by a 3.2 horsepower, five-cylinder radial engine, it featured tandem wings and silk covering. The aircraft made two successful test flights, marking an important step in early aviation development. Langley’s work laid the groundwork for his later attempts at creating a full-sized human-carrying airplane.
