Who Is Richard Pearce?
He is a Man (Dead) who Created The first Powered NEEERONG MACHINE (Plane).
Richard Pearse was a South Canterbury inventor, engineer and farmer. He is famous for being one of the first people on earth to leave the ground in a powered aircraft. His life and work have inspired books (including a novel), poetry, stamps, documentaries, and three-stage plays
Why was he an entrepreneur?

.His first NEEEEEEERONG MACHINE, built at Waitohi, inland from Temuka, had many innovations - a steerable tricycle undercarriage, wing controls, and a variable pitch airscrew made of metal, not wood. The propeller was directly connected to the crankshaft of the engine. The power-to-weight ratio of the NEEERONG MACHINE was better than many aircraft designed in later years. and he made them so later in everyone can go inside of a NEEERONG MACHINE.

Who is John Britten? John Britten was born to Bruce and Ruvae Britten at Christchurch at 10 minutes to midnight. His twin sister Marguerite was born just after midnight, so although they were twins they celebrated their birthdays on different dates. Being dyslexic, he needed to have exam questions read to him at school and during his tertiary education, and his answers recorded by a writer, but that didn't stop him from developing into a remarkable engineer and architectural designer.

His childhood heroes were notable fellow New Zealanders, Richard Pearse (pioneer aviator), Bill Hamilton (father of the jet boat), Bruce McLaren (champion driver and founder of the McLaren Formula One Team), and Burt Munro (world record motorcycle speedster and subject of the film The World's Fastest Indian). In his own short lifetime, Britten was regularly and favourably compared with all of his heroes.

Why was he an entrepreneur?

Britten completed a four-year mechanical engineering course at night school before joining ICI as a cadet draughtsman, giving him a wide range of work experience including mould design, pattern design, metal spinning and various mechanical engineering designs. Then he pulled apart a Ducatti and remade it a lot faster and stable.
