Cody made the first sustained flight (lasting 27 seconds and for a distance of around 1390 feet) on the 16th October 1908. Though he had made previous short flights or leaps this was the first one to exceed quarter of a mile, the distance which the Royal Aero Club deemed in 1958 to be the minimum for a "powered leap" to be termed a "sustained flight". The flight ended in a crash caused by him trying to turn the aircraft too quickly at too low a height. Cody was largely unhurt in the crash apart some cuts to his forehead.}}
