I do know that around that time others were working on making flying machines, but the Wright brothers were the first to succeed. I'm not sure how much was patentable either. I'm not sure what there was to IPO. But for however easy it was to enter the aircraft manufacturing business back then, it is 1,000 times easier to enter the portal business today.
