28 May 1914

The extensively modified Langley Aerodrome was test flown by Glenn Curtiss on May 28, 1914 on a lake at Hammondsport, New York as part of an effort to cast doubt on the validity of the Wright patent. The machine allegedly flew 150 feet in a straight-line flight. Curtiss had redesigned the wings, changing the camber, leading edge, and aspect ratio. He also redesigned the wing spars and the carburetor and added hydroplane floats.
