During WWI, the US Army asked Kettering to develop an unmanned "flying bomb." Kettering designed the flying bomb, Orville Wright consulted, and the Wright Airplane Company built the "Kettering Aerial Torpedo." Unsurprisingly, it looked something like a Wright brothers' biplane (one can see a full-size replica at the US Air Force Museum).
It had a flying range of between 40 and 75 miles, and carried 180 pounds of explosive. Kettering produced and delivered 45 flying bombs, but the war ended before any could be used. I have no idea why the Kettering Aerial Torpedo came to be called the Kettering Bug.
