Aerial Experiment Association

The Aerial Experiment Association was a group formed in 1907 by Canadian inventor Alexander Graham Bell to advance early aviation technology. It included innovative engineers and pilots who worked collaboratively to design, build, and test aircraft, aiming to improve flight performance and safety. Their efforts led to significant advancements in airplane design, including the development of reliable, controllable aircraft. The association played a key role in pioneering practical aviation and training future aerospace pioneers, contributing to the rapid progress of early powered flight.
