However， when the Wright brothers flew the first airplane， Flyer 1， over a century ago， they used no ailerons but wires that pulled and stretched the wood-and-canvas wings， to control the plane.Scientists have long sought to develop a
29、ircraft that can change their wings during flight， just as birds can. However， most previous attempts have failed because they relied on heavy mechanical control structures within the wings. These structures were also complex and unreliable， said Neil Gershenfeld， a physicist and director of the Cen
