Bird wings. They’re curved. They fly in formation to take advantage of each others wakes in the wind.

Pave the way for the Wright Brothers? In a word: “No!”
Doesn’t mean Boomerangs aren’t cool, though!

While I cannot claim any knowledge of aeronautics, I don’t see how the boomerang could “pave the way” for flight unless it can be shown that the Wright brothers or other pioneers of flight had studied the boomerang.
More “diversity” nonsense.

No...I doubt Wilbur and Orville had even heard of boomerangs.

This is so dumb. The shape of bird's wings was well known to early European would be aviators.

Take a look at any hand made wood boomerang...the wing is curved...with the upper part curved so the air travels further than the air underneath...so creating a circulation current and resulting lift
Amazing how a native Aboriginal tribe that don't count more than 3 ..( as in 1, 2, 3,...many) solved complex problems in fluid dynamics.
