The Wright motor for the job - WAS: 13 horsepower
Harry,
I got the 510 sq ft wing area and 31 mph cruise speed.
What did the Flyer weigh?
I'd like to back through the calculations and
see about what the CL should be.
I do recall reading that the Brothers figured out that
Lilienthall's tables were a bit optimistic.
