  • 10 an Inventive Commons
    OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – REVISES, Fri May 30 2014, NEWGEN An Inventive Commons: Shared Sources of the Airplane 10 and Its Industry Peter B. Meyer* I. Introduction In 1809 a scientific journal published a paper describing a fixed-wing aircraft design that could carry a person. Author George Cayley bravely wrote in its first paragraph that by publishing his observations on the subject he might be “expediting the attainment of an object that will in time be found of great importance to mankind; so much so, that a new era in society will commence from the moment that aerial navigation is familiarly recognized.” That paper launched the phrase “aerial navigation,” which was then used for over a century in an international discussion among experimenters and scientists about how to make an aircraft that could be piloted and controlled better than a balloon or pro- jectile. Participants in this discussion published articles, created new journals, filed pat- ents, formed clubs, and attended exhibitions and conferences. After a century, this line of thought and work led to the invention of the modern airplane. * Peter B. Meyer was a software engineer and is now a research economist in the Office of Productivity and Technology at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C., USA. He has a longstanding interest in technical invention and open-source processes. Views expressed here are the author’s and do not represent the Bureau. 341 Frischmann180214OUS_Book.indb 341 5/30/2014 3:19:45 PM OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – REVISES, Fri May 30 2014, NEWGEN 342 Governing Knowledge Commons This chapter explores the ways in which documents, information, and networks asso- ciated with the century of aeronautical texts represented a knowledge commons space in the sense of Madison, Frischmann, & Strandburg (2010).

    Town of Fairfield, Connecticut Proclamation WHEREAS: The Town of Fairfield proudly honors and recognizes the 117th anniversary of Gustave Whitehead’s historic “First in Flight” which took place August 14, 1901— prior to the 1903 flight of the Wright Brothers in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina; and WHEREAS: Whitehead, who had lived in both Fairfield and Bridgeport, performed a flight-test in June 1901 at a location about 1.5 miles from Bridgeport near the village (now Town) of Fairfield. The monoplane was his 57th aircraft in total and his 20th manned aircraft; and WHEREAS: On August 14, 1901, Whitehead invited the press to watch him fly the world’s first, successfully manned, powered aircraft. He left Bridgeport around midnight and literally drove his plane, the “Condor No. 21”, to the same Fairfield site as the previous tests. Whitehead took off at dawn, flying half a mile at a height of up to 50 feet before smoothly landing in the area of what is now Jennings Beach; and WHEREAS: After this unprecedented August 14, 1901 flight, Whitehead continued to make short flights before developing a more robust diesel engine, naming his new plane “No. 22” and piloting longer flights. He made a circular flight between Charles Island off Milford, Connecticut and Bridgeport in January 1902; and WHEREAS: The revelation of Whitehead— Chief Engineer of America’s first aviation organization and an instrumental figure in the advancement of aviation—first came to light when aviation historian John Brown discovered a panoramic photograph from 1901 showing Whitehead’s
