Most professional scientists though powered heavier than air flight was probably impossible. For example, Simon Newcombe, professor of mathematics and astronomy at
Johns Hopkins U, wrote in "The Independent" just three weeks before the Wright's first flight that powered flight was "impossible" and he suggested that it would only become
possible if new metals could be found. The same opinion had been expressed a year before in the "North American Review" by Rear Admiral George Melville, Chief Engineer of the US Navy.
