Some people will do anything for publicity.
This was done to show off a newly patented light weight high powered steam engine.
"Steam is is not the right engine for aircraft. Most steam enthusiasts cannot separate engineering fact from dreams and fantasy".
Bill did this for only one reason, as he explained to me: "What would you do if you now owned the patents for the lightest, most efficient and most powerful steam engine system yet known, and wanted to make it publicly known in the most dramatic fashion?"
Sure, put one in an airplane and fly it.
