Richard Pearse
Richard William Pearse is a New Zealand farmer and inventor who performed pioneering aerospace experiments. Witnesses interviewed years later claimed that Pearse flew and landed a machine with engines heavier than air on March 31, 1903, nine months before the Wright brothers' flight. Documentary evidence of these claims remains challenging and explanatory, and Pearse himself never made such claims. In an interview with the newspaper in 1909, he said that he had "not tried to practice anything ... until 1904. ”Biographer Gordon Ogilvie noted Pearse with“ a few concepts of foresight: mono-plane configuration, wings and tail lift, landing gear with possible flywheels, holding and variable-pitch propeller. . Pearse completed his flight test around 1911, but continued his aeronautical work, trying to develop vertical propeller take-off and landing planes and ships
