The picture with the article clearly shows an aircraft that is not a
replica
of the 1903 Kitty Hawk flyer. This replica had seats for two upright,
and
appears to be closer to the Wright's military aircraft of 1905?


I believe the first Wright airplane for the military was built in 1908,
which was also their first two-seat airplane and the first that didn't have
the pilot lying prone. But this airplane isn't even a faithful replica of
that one. This airplane has wheels, the Wrights' were still launching from
a track and landing on skids in 1908. This airfoil also looks much thicker
than anything the Wrights' used. T
