Despite your absurd claim, the Wright Brothers were far from "the first to fly". The Wright Brothers certainly did rely on -- and extend -- the base of prior art. There was extensive prior art of glider (and even bird) flight already established
Wilbur and Orville also built on Bernoulli's prior art -- by building their own wind tunnel to measure the forces generated on various shapes by air flowing over them. I know this for a fact, because I have actually touched that wind tunnel.
The Wright brothers could have taught a graduate course in aeronautics. They were certainly capable of defending any technical aspect of their application patents on powered, controlled flight. And it was preceded by plenteous prior art.

You are not going to escape that burden of claim by diverting the subject to nit-picking of my near-40-year old patent.

Because I enjoy reminiscing about it, I will (in another comment) explain the patent attorneys' strategic reason for wording that patent as they did.

Meanwhile,
Good luck on getting Kevmo to ever reply to a good question or challenge. I see he's using his worn out "Wright Brothers Rope-a-Dope."
I see where this is going. Plasma is HIGH energy versus Low Energy Nuke Reactions. Semantics. Wright bros weren’t the first to fly. Semantics. I can see why it took you so long to come around to realizing the science behind LENR. Because you’re a semanticist, not a scientist. And an elitist semanticist at that.
Meanwhile, Where’s the LENR “plasma”?!?
