Abstract
It is not surprising that the first wind tunnel was built a full 30 years before the Wright brother's successful first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The would-be aeronauts of the nineteenth century realised that in reality they knew nothing about the lift and drag forces action on surfaces cutting through the stmosphere. To be successful in getting man off the ground their research would need to be based on more than just the study of birds and their flight.
