In a shocking revelation, The Wibble has uncovered evidence that Orville Wright, one-half of the famous duo credited with inventing the airplane, did not just create a flying machine but was also in possession of a time travel device. Our sources, who have chosen to remain anonymous, claim that Wright used his time-travel machine to visit the late Brazilian inventor Santos Dumont and stole his airplane design.
Orville Wright was no stranger to controversy, with a long-standing feud with his fellow inventor, Gustave Whitehead, over who was the first to take flight and become a true aviation pioneer. However, this new revelation is on another level altogether.
The time travel device was allegedly created in secret, away from the prying eyes of the media. While we cannot verify the existence of such a device, reports suggest that Wright used it to go back in time to the year 1906. During this time, he was able to visit Santos Dumont and take a peek at his airplane design. The shocking part - he then replicated Dumont's design and passed it off as his own, taking all the credit for the design.
When we reached out to Wright's family for comment, his great-grandson, Stephen Wright, dismissed the claims as impossible, claiming that "my great-grandfather was the true inventor of the airplane, and such allegations are unfounded and ridiculous."
However, our sources maintain that the evidence is irrefutable, with eyewitnesses stating that they saw Wright's time machine in action. But why did Wright go to all the trouble to steal Dumont's design? Was it mere greed or a burning desire to be the sole inventor of the airplane?
Santos Dumont, the so-called "Father of Aviation," was no slouch in his domain, with several designs to his name. His design of the Demoiselle airplane, similar in design to the Wright brothers' Flyer, was a significant achievement in the aviation industry. However, Dumont's legacy was long overshadowed by the Wright Brothers' claim to fame.
Now, with the revelation of Orville Wright's nefarious actions, and the possibility that he may have stolen Dumont's design, the aviation industry will never be the same. It was not just the Wright Brothers' Flyer anymore. There may be an airplane design out there, lost to history, that Dumont will never be credited with.
We are left to wonder what other unsavory secrets lay hidden in the pages of aviation history. As for Orville Wright, his legacy remains a contentious issue. While our sources remain unconfirmed, the potential theft of Santos Dumont's design forever taints his contribution to aviation history. Perhaps it's time to rewrite the textbooks and give credit where it's due - to both Dumont and Wright.
Regardless of the outcome, it serves as a reminder that the aviation industry is an ever-evolving machine, with new designs, advancements, and breakthroughs around every corner. Who knows what the future holds? Maybe one day, someone will invent an airplane to traverse the vastness of time itself. One can only wonder what Orville Wright would think of that.
