   Sep 30, 2021 · In his first attempt in 1893, Phillips created a contraption that rather resembled a Venetian blind than an airplane. Known simply as the Phillips Flying Machine, it consisted of a long, slender, cigar-shaped fuselage with a rectangular frame fitted with 50 narrow wings called “sustainers”.

   How did Philip Philips become interested in airfoil design?

   • The son of a gunsmith, Philips reportedly became interested in aviation at a young age, and closely followed the research conducted by the Royal Aeronautical Society using a whirling arm and wind tunnel. In the early 1880s, Philip began experimenting with airfoil design in a wind tunnel of his own design.
