EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the underside view of Henson and Stringfellow's Aerial Steam Carriage, a groundbreaking invention of the 1840s that marked an early milestone in human flight. Patented by British inventors William Samuel Henson (1812-1888) and John Stringfellow (1799-1883) in 1842 and 1843 respectively, this flying machine was designed to lift passengers off the ground using steam power. The intricately detailed image reveals the covering fabric in place, which was an essential component of the design to protect passengers from the elements and provide some degree of insulation. The fabric, made of lightweight and durable materials, was attached to a wooden frame and secured with ropes and struts. The Aerial Steam Carriage was a testament to the ingenuity and vision of its creators, who dreamed of a new mode of transportation that could soar through the skies. Although the machine was never actually flown with passengers, it paved the way for future aviation pioneers, including the Wright Brothers, who would successfully achieve powered, sustained flight in 1903. This photograph, taken by The Royal Aeronautical Society (National Aerospace Library), offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the ambition and determination of Henson and Stringfellow as they dared to defy gravity and push the boundaries of human innovation.
