@maple good point, that was the chinese...
uh...
they invented the motorised kite!
sorta
I think other people may have put engines on kites before but they just didn't have enough headwind to take off
@troubleMoney @maple I think it is fair to say that they *built* a thing, but *invented* might be a bit much. >.>
@InspectorCaracal @maple okay, we can certainly agree on the fact that they built a thing which they said was a plane but was really a glorified kite
@troubleMoney @maple yes, completely true
