| The second AEA aeroplane was White Wing, sponsored by Baldwin. It was very similar to Red Wing, except for the substitution of three wheels for the ice runners, and used the same engine. The most important innovation was the addition of movable lateral control surfaces on all four wingtips that later came to be called ailerons. In principle, these had the same elfect as the Wright's wing-warping, but Curtiss claimed mechanical and control differences. The method ofcontrol
reflected Curtiss's motorcyle experience-a yoke embraced Lhc pilot's
shoulders-when he wanted to bank for a turn, he leaned in the desired
direction and the proper control movement was automatically applied.
White Wing made four flights, the first on 18 May, 1908, again with
Baldwin at the controls. Distance was 85m at a height of 3m. Longest flight was the third, at 310m wilh Curtiss flying. White Wing crashed on 23 May after McCurdy had flown 167m.

| Joseph Wilburn, e-mail, 23.04.2023 03:35 Are you looking to fix your credit in order to get better rates? I had always been skeptical when it comes to credit hacks. I had always tried to build my credit on my own, but with my credit in the low 600s and huge amount of debts on me. I decided to look for help; I was introduced to JerryLink Credit Group by my friend Cynthia who they helped in the past. I reached out to them via mail; (jerrylinkgroup @ gmail . com).
