Horatio Frederick Phillips (born 1845 in Streatham[1] – 1924) was an early aviation pioneer from Great Britain. He was famous for building multiplanes with many more sets of lift surfaces (sustainers, as he called them) than would be normal on modern aircraft.

but will it take off?
Natedog, in “brazilian”: NEM FODENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry: “Phillips successfully flew the 1907 Multiplane over a distance of approximately 500 ft (150 m) on 6 April 1907, which some believe is the first successful powered flight in the United Kingdom. Others disagree on the grounds that the Multiplane was not controllable and could not complete a true flight. Regardless, this success apparently marked the end of Phillips’ flying career since he disappeared from the aeronautics field after 1908.”

I like your posts atkinson
This is pretty cool, and actually makes some amount of sense. Are there any modern airplane materials that have this principle on a super itty bitty tiny level?
Oh look, another plane.
