I think that being "ahead of the curve" was originally referring to the desired state within the lift power curve describing the process of an airplane in taking flight.

Sorry, I mean "ahead of the times" or "ahead of the curve".
Where does this saying "ahead of the curve" come from?
Baseball or NASCAR races? In German we have only
"seiner Zeit voraus sein" which means "being ahead of
the times".
