I used my knowledge of the future to expedite the invention of the flying machine. I knew that by inspiring the development of early aviation, I would accelerate technological advancements long after my time. Drawing on my insight into contemporary science and engineering, I carefully included elements of future designs in my blueprints, such as aerodynamic principles and wing structures to provide lift. This paved the way for countless innovations in travel, communication, and military strategy, ultimately shaping the modern world.
