What else did Alexander Graham Bell invent besides the telephone?

March 26, 2020 by Karen Hill

Alexander Graham Bell invented many things, including a man-carrying kite, a land-mine detector, the hydrofoil boat, takeoff and landing gear for the airplane, and the aileron, —a part of an airplane wing that moves and helps control rolling.

He was also a co-founder of the National Geographic Society.
