Vuia II, not Vuia I
That's the Vuia II. The Vuia I had a different engine and it's wing was mounted on a pivot. Vuia I also had a triangulated frame rather than a square one. This was the 'improved ' model although it still never achieved more than a brief hop of 72 feet; far short of the flights of many others who flew before him in self propelled heavier than air aircraft which needed no external aid such as a catapult, rails, or a hill.Romaniantruths (talk) 23:13, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
