Tandem-wing aircraft designed by Samuel Langley in 1903. The pilot sat on the open fuselage structure mid-way between the two sets of wings. The design was unstable and the machine crashed into the water after a few seconds on each of its two attempts to fly. After modifications in 1914 it flew for short distances. It is now displayed in the NASM in its original 1903 form.
