        Control of the 1903 Wright Flyer," Proceedings of The Wright
        Flyer: An Engineering Perspective, National Air and Space Museum,
        Smithsonian Institution, 1985.

        1903 Wright Flyer," 12th AIAA Atmospheric Flight Mechanics

      - Jex, H, Grimm, R., Latz, J.P., and Hange, C., "Full-Scale 1903
