There's a Twitter discussion about the Wright Brothers innovating for safety. Basically, the Wright Brothers realized that innovating on control and safety were more important than innovating on power when it comes to developing powered flight. Once you have a controllable glider, putting on a motor was the easy part.
That was a really interesting thread, thanks for the link. Most interestingly, it was posted a week ago, days prior to the sub going missing. When you described it I assumed it was in response to the saga.
