Low-Key Inventor Endeavored The First Passenger Flying Machine

 July 04, 1901

News in a flash—Lesser known inventor Andrew Smits, commenced the invention of a hover pad after watching the Wright brothers fail every attempt so far to fly an aircraft. Smits resolved the problem of maintaining flight which plagued the brothers. He ingeniously tried to device a pad that would merely suspend itself a few feet on air, thus, allowing the natural rotation of our planet to bring the destination to the passenger and not the other way around. Unfortunately, Smits passed away before the invention gained momentum. He's son Tyler, continued the ambitious plan, but he also passed away after 2 weeks. Nobody else dared to lead the invention as it was said to be cursed.
