How to take a 1910 design and make it reliable and safe. This video shows a replica of a Wright Flyer B that has been updated with modern materials and technology, thereby alleviating the problems that gave the Wrights so much grief.

As the man says, this is not open-cockpit flying, this is no-cockpit flying. A nice piece of reporting as well.
