Frederick William Brearey (1816–1896) was a British aeronautical inventor. He cofounded the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain and was its secretary for thirty years. Brearey cofounded the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain with five others in 1866.〔(History of the Society ) at Royal Aeronautical Society web site〕 Brearey was Honorary Secretary society from then〔Aeronautical Society of Great Britain. (Paper read by Mr. Fred. W. Brearey ), Feb 28, 1866.〕 until his death thirty years later.〔(Who was Frederick W. Brearey? ) at The Sutherland Collection〕 Brearey made a "wave action" aeroplane model driven by a rubber band. It had rigid spars (elsewhere called "bowsprits") which beat up and down, trailing undulating wings of fabric behind them, whose action propelled the model forward with "limited success."〔Gibbs-Smith, Charles. 1970. ''Aviation''. London: HMSO. pages 48,50.〕 He filed for patents on this craft in Britain in 1879〔Patent 2376 in Britain in 1897, according to Griffith Brewer and Patrick Y. Alexander, 1893, ''Aeronautics: An abridgment of aeronautical specifications filed at the patent office from A.D. 1815 to A.D. 1891'', London; republished 1965 by Boekhandel en Antiquariaat, Amsterdam〕 and later in the U.S.〔(US patent 234947, "Aerial apparatus" ), and (US patent 320042, "Apparatus for effecting aerial navigation" )〕 Brearey published more than 15 articles about aeronautical subjects from 1866 to 1883.〔(Brearey's publications listed on WorldCat )〕〔Brockett, Paul. 1910. ''(Bibliography of Aeronautics )'' Smithsonian Institution. pp. 149-151.〕 The 1880 and 1885 patents identify Brearey's location as Blackheath, Kent. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederick Brearey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
