This 3D model originated from a sketchup file, later adapted into numerous other formats to reach its final representation in .skp format. The native environment of this scene was created within 3ds Max 2016 and brought to life through Vray 3.00 rendering. Charles F. Ritchel showcased his invention in public exhibitions during the spring months of May and June, featuring a remarkable flying machine equipped with rubberized fabric enveloping a metal framework consisting entirely of brass tubing. This groundbreaking contraption, the hand-cranked Flying-Machine, had its inaugural public flight executed by Mabel Harrington, although the records suggest Mark Quinlan took charge of making most demonstrations, even executing flights that spanned an impressive duration of over an hour. With precision and innovation, Charles F. Ritchel's masterpiece flew above various states across America including Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. This monumental achievement set precedence for two historic firsts: the U.S.'s initial outdoor, powered flight and its initial outdoor, powered circular flight. During its remarkable tenure, five such marvels were brought to life by Charles F. Ritchel before he decided to market them, each of which served as testaments to his inventive spirit.
