Alexander Graham Bell Thought the Future of Flight was Giant Kites

In his research, Bell had become obsessed with the idea of creating a kite large enough to carry a man. He actually created the box kite design in this quest to create the ultimate kite. This particular design joined several triangular kites together with a frame to create a box. Doing so increased the kites surface area with little increase in weight – a good measure of improved flight capability. Upon this innovation Bell joined several box-like kites together to create larger pyramidal kites that are known as tetrahedral kites. It's one of nature's most stable strucles, so why wouldn't it also lead to the future of human flight...right? While Bell's prediction for the future of flight might have been a little misguided looking back, at the time when aeronautical innovation didn't have set bounds, he was on the cutting edge.
