For historic logic it makes no sense for those who want fame and/or fortune by claiming previous secret flights when if they were true they would have been repeated again for a qualified public to achieve desired fame and/or fortune.
Para lógica histórica não faz sentido aqueles que querem fama
e/ou fortuna reinvindicando vôos secretos prévios quando se fossem verdadeiros teriam sido repetidos de novo para um público qualificado para obter fama e/ou fortuna desejada.

SANTOS DUMONT
Up to 1949 not even American government, business community as Henry Ford, aircraft tech/enterprise pioneers as Glenn Curtis considered the Wright brothers to be the first in the air, opting later to back Samuel Langley 1901 claim, as many around the world claimed glider flight from fellow countrymen as pioneer. The Wrights Brother narrative/story was NEGOTIATED between the Smithsonian Institute, previoulsly backing Langley until discovery that replica flight had been modified and Orville Wright, exchanging Orville's version for all the remaining assets of his brother's development, which were about to be donated to a museum in England. 1903-5 alleged unwitnessed flights were just hops on a glider built by someone else. Wilbur, a bycicle mechanic, just tied two ropes to a broom stick to warp the wings. This patented technique was highly imprecise and dangerous, eventually breaking the wing. Wilbur made a controlled flight only in 1908.
Santos Dumont 1906 flight was first vertically controlled. Plane had ailerons but they were not fully functional, failing full/continuous horizontal control. Replica also replicated similar results. Demoiselle model single wing and tail is the first modern airplane with one defect, Santos Dumont wrongfully replaced ailerons for wing warping from Wilbur Wright, tech eventually abandoned for ailerons. This was an innovation/application by Santos Dumont, however the pioneer invention of glider/aileron can be traced back to mid 1800s. George Cayley, England, 1853, performed the first glider flight. Matthew Boulton, also English, patented a system of lateral flight control in 1868, that later became known as ailerons, but with no sucessfull application.
Santos Dumont made initial/partial use of it in 1906 pioneer flight, but with interrupted development by the demonstration of Wright unsafe tech in 1908, that alleged wrongfully that it had been in use sucessfully since 1903, when in fact it had not and its recent use had at least 1 almost fatal and one fatal crash. Samuel Langley allegedly flew before alleged Wilbur flight, but replicas of both models never flew. A successful flight of an alleged Langley replica was used in support of the Langley camp, but later it was discovered that the replica was actually modified and this was used to boost the Wilbur camp, that eventually became the Wright Brother's camp once Orville imposed the explict condition that he should be considered as an equal to his brother. In fact Wilbur was the tech guy, Orville was the commercial and political guy. Overall no one invented the airplane but Santos Dumont would be the main pioneer contributor for both lighter than air and heavier than air flight, if the criteria would be who flew first and which aircraft was closest to modern aircraft.
Wing warping almost killed Wilbur, killed an army officer flying the contraption and when Santos replaced his right tech ailerons for wing warping he almost died in a demoiselle crash. A french investor licensed the Wright patent and blocked Santos from using it, which actually was beneficial to him. Bottom line is that Santos should not have abandoned the lighter than air models and should not have abandoned the ailerons in the heavier than air.
First Lieutenant Thomas Etholen Selfridge was the first person to die in an airplane crash in 1908 when a wing warping Wilbur Wright aircraft crashed during a demonstration flight at Fort Myer, Virginia. Wing Warping was abandoned between 1911-1915 replaced by ailerons, used in the 1906 Santos Dumont first heavier than air flight, but not fully functional, allowing limited lateral/horizontal control. Wilbur died in 1912 of typhoid fever and Orville sold their company in 1915 to misinformed investors.
Santos Dumont did not recover from this tech misdirection because in addition he had a broken heart, psychological/social loneliness from a marriage refusal and got sick from sclerosis and depression, retiring to Brazil, until he supposedly committed suicide following the use of Airplanes in a civil war/coup attempt in 1930s. Santos Dumont Life and work inspired Brazilians to offer and demand education/research at ITA, Aeronautic Technology Institute, considered the highest demand, most prestigious educational institution in Brazil, around which was born and developed the Brazilian Aerospace Industry, including Embraer, the 3rd largest airplane producer in the world after Boeing and Airbus. Sandaero is primarily inspired by Santos Dumont and has the lowest cost and highest benefit aerospace and infrastructure technology of all time, including full security system for aerodynamic aircraft that would have saved the Life of Thomas and thousands of other victims, also mainly aerostatic Aerocar lighter-than-air individual aircraft, the original vision of Santos Dumont first all time controlled flight in 1901.
