From this it was possible to discern the general direction of his plans and the basis of his design. Based on Lilienthal's work, Pilcher understood how to produce lift using winglike structures, but at this time a full mathematical description was years away, so many elements were still missing. 477:
In particular, Pilcher was stuck trying to design a wing that could lift the weight of an engine, the aircraft itself and the occupant â€“ each increase in wing area increased the weight so much that yet more lift was required, requiring a larger wing â€“ a seemingly vicious circle. Pilcher's

shifting body weight; a refinement developed by Octave Chanute, which they believed Pilcher would have been aware of. They also added the Wright brothers' innovation of wing-warping as a safety backup for roll control. Pilcher's original design did not include aerodynamic controls such as

Further major conservation work was completed in the summer of 2016, and it is back again on display in its usual place, suspended above the atrium of the Science and Technology galleries of the National Museum of Scotland. 515:.
