    There’s a similar story in paragliding, by leading designer Ozone discovering a breakthrough around 2010. The discovery was basically designing holes in the leading edge of the glider which would allow airflow through, making the structure more resistant to collapse. They didn’t monopolize the discovery, and allowed all other manufacturers to use it as well. Always love these stories.
