- Employees of the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company Working on the Kettering Bug, 1918 - Delco founder Charles Kettering designed the Kettering Bug for the U.S. Army during World War I. Powered by a four-cylinder engine, the Bug used a gyroscope and a system of electric and pneumatic controls to automatically fly a payload of explosives to a remote target. Unreliable in tests, the Bug was never used in combat.
