Curtiss No. 1 aircraft. Rear view of aviation and motorcycle pioneer Glenn Curtiss' first aircraft the Curtiss No. 1, or 'Curtiss Golden Flyer', in a field. Curtiss produced over 500 inventions, including the motorcycle handlebar throttle control and the first private aircraft in the USA. The Curtiss Golden Flyer was an early experimental aircraft, the first independent aircraft designed and built by Curtiss. His subsequent design, the Curtiss Pusher, was among the very first aircraft in the world to be built in any quantity and was the first aircraft type to take off from and land on the deck of a ship.
