Why does the USA think they invented the airplane?
The Wright Brothers used a catapult to launch their "airplane" in the middle of NOWHERE.
Santos Dumont flew his 14-bis in PARIS and NO CATAPULTS
>On 23 October 1906 he flew this to make the first powered heavier-than-air flight in Europe to be certified by the Aéro Club de France and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).
Recognized by France
I don't care if Brazil is a third world or whatever you can't take this from us. Facts are facts.
I actually believe Brazil did do it. The yanks are taught that they invented the lightbulb, which they didn't, we did. They try and take other peoples inventions and pass them off as their own.

they also belive they invented select fire rifles

They can't keep getting away with this shit.

Are you Bongs still pretending you invented lasagna and curry?

>The Wright flyer first flew in 1903. Santos-Dumont didn't even start working on airplanes until 1905.
>The only reason that there is any confusion on this is because of the rules set out by Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, which was started in Paris in 1905, two years after the Wright brothers' flight. They decided to include in their rules that the plane had to take off without assistance. The Wrights designed their plane to land on skids instead of wheels. Since it didn't have wheels, they would set their plane on a dolly on a track. FAI decided this didn't count, and said that Santos-Dumont's flight of the 14-bis in 1906 was the first, since it had wheels and didn't use a track to take off. This is one of a few cases where the generally accepted record holder is not the same as the name the FAI claimed. Another example of this is that the FAI didn't initially accept Yuri Gagarin as the first man in space because he ejected before his spacecraft landed. In both of these cases, the FAI did eventually come around and acknowledge the Wright brothers and Gagarin for their accomplishments.

They get away with it because the dumb masses believe them. Little slimy cunts have been trying to rewrite our history. They'll have you believe they single-handedly won ww2 but in reality they rode our cocks to victory.
Adam Morales
If we're talking about XX century inventions then there is some merit to your claim, seeing as how Thomas Jefferson wasn't even an inventor, he basically ran an inventing firm where he paid actual inventors to let him take credit for their discoveries and creations.

sorry, but the airplane was invented by jacob ellehammer.

Americans invented the airplane. But they keep it secret, so they could be rich as fuck. When they try to patent it, France somehow learned about it. And asked for Santos Dumont to patent the airplane first, so America would not have the monopoly of the airplane. So he did, he patented the Demoiselle as open source, allowing anyone to build the airplane. France recognized him as the airplane creator for many years, until the end of the patent (public domain), then recognized America as creator of the first airplane and apologized.
This man literally cucked the entire USA.
Ryan Campbell
They were right in the first place. That means Yuri Gagarin was NOT the first man into space, it was actually Alan Shepard.

Austin Clark
If anything the credit should go to France. Seeing how he spent the majority of his life and created most his best inventions there
Austin Miller
We also have great music and good literature but I guess that's subjective. I think Bossa Nova had some influence on Americans. LUA was invented in Brazil. Artur Avila won the fields medal. Pion particle by the physicist Cesar Lattes chagas disease Chest photofluorography brazilian wax kek
Connor Edwards
I read that as "LULA was invented in Brazil."
Carson Adams
It's documented and it was in Paris recognized by France. it's not like I'm making shit up. The Wright brothers used a catapult. Also Dumont created the demoiselle
>The Demoiselle could be constructed in only 15 days. Possessing a good performance, flying at a speed of more than 100 km/h, the Demoiselle was the last aircraft designed by Santos-Dumont. The June 1910 edition of the Popular Mechanics magazine published drawings of the Demoiselle and stated, "This machine is better than any other which has ever been built, for those who wish to reach results with the least possible expense and with a minimum of experimenting." American companies sold drawings and parts for Demoiselles for several years afterward. Santos-Dumont was so enthusiastic about aviation that he made the drawings of the Demoiselle available free of charge, thinking that aviation would lead to a new prosperous era for mankind.

I can accept anyone not American. Have you noticed that Americans claim that they invented literally everything. I just can't accept this. Billions of people and only the US of A has people who can invent things? Something is fishy here.

wow great job Brazil! Keep on the good work. I am curious to see which other inventions Brazil will give to the world

Get used to it. They also took the first world war win for themselves from the democrats and the second world war win from the sovjets.

He invented a hopping glider. Still awesome but nothing on the Wright brothers aircraft which may have needed a little help to get airborne but could actually stay there once it started flying.

So Dumont complies with GNU license?
Ryan Brown
How so? He pioneered the use of Industrial Laboratories, which arguabley is more innovative than any of the patents he claimed to have had a part in.

Wozniak was an American. Tesla said that getting US citizenship was one of the best moments of his life. They're both pretty well known in their respective fields, not as businessmen.
