I wonder what the Wright brothers called their machine?


The Wright "Flyer"?


Yes, but was this a title, such as Titanic, or simply a name, such as ocean

The Wrights' patent referred to it as a "flying machine" while the
term "aeroplane" was reserved for the flying machine's "aeroplanes".

Cheers and all,
