Mat Jon Erlichman Meanwhile, Santo's first flight barely left the ground and then crashed. Santos failed to equate lift.

Jorgelcruz Dumont's flights were recorded and not only that, he was able to take off with his aircraft itself.

Shawn Nason 🇺🇸 Yeah, but still he flew his plane by itself, not capulting it and plus, he was a healthy guy so hi didn't need to hide his airplane invention and that is why he showed them to the whole world, in contrary to the Us guys who didn'y have recorded their flights they wanted money.

Shawn Nason 🇺🇸 @LeftistinBrazil Glider is an airplane? I don't think so.

Shawn Nason 🇺🇸 @pedro7Fsc @LeftistinBrazil my brother, the wright brothers' 'airplane' literally could only glide after being launched, that ain't flying

Shawn Nason 🇺🇸 @pedro7Fsc @LeftistinBrazil 'yeah but santos dumont couldn't control all 3 axis' it was literally the first airplane, do you expect it to be perfect? And otherwise, it did not infact only glide, and didn't even need to be launched, as it could take flight on its own, which is flying
