Wright Model L
The Wright Model L was a prototype high-speed reconnaissance aircraft built by the Wright Company in 1916 to meet a specification by the U.S. military. It bore no resemblance to previous Wright designs. Already obsolete compared to European military aircraft of the time, it attracted no orders, and only the single prototype was built. By the time it was brought to market, Orville Wright had already left the company. It would be the last aircraft built by the Wright Company before it merged with the Glenn L. Martin Company, and the last Wright aircraft built at Dayton.
