Extractions: First flown at the Dune Park location as a tri-plane on Saturday, August 29th, it was found to be too unwieldy. On Monday the 31st the lower of the three wings was removed and some successful glides were made with the machine. A week of bad weather prevented glides until Friday, when 10 or 12 'beautiful' glides were made, the longest 253 feet. When the Wright brothers first became seriously interested in the problem of manned flight in 1899 they wrote to the Smithsonian Institution and requested from it's Secretary everything that had been written on the subject so far. From the materials they received back from the Smithsonian it didn't take them long to realize that Octave Chanute in Chicago had not only become the intellectual clearinghouse for information about experiments worldwide, but highly successful experimenter in his own right. Use these photos to help create your own 1897 Double decker Chanute Glider. Chanute's original was the forerunner of the modern hang-glider. The "pilot" hung by his armpits from the wooden supports beneath the lower wing, throwing his weight from side to side to steer the craft. The aircraft featured Chanute's square-truss design, first employed in railroad bridge construction and later used by the Wright brothers on their 1903 Flyer.

http://www.flyingmachines.org/chan.html

Extractions: Octave Chanute, a native of France, was retired from a distinguished engineering career and living in Chicago, Illinois, when he began to pursue his life-long interest in aeronautics. His experiments with "gliding machines" began in 1896 and were conducted at Dune Park, Miller Beach, Indiana, on the southern shore of Lake Michigan. Octave Chanute's Multiple-Wing Glider was built to test the possibility of utilizing wings which pivoted fore-and-aft about a vertical axis to control the center of pressure on the wings of the glider, thus providing stability. The strange appearance of this gliding machine with its "oscillating" wings has caused many people to dismiss the concept, especially in light of the later "classic" designs with trussed and "fixed" wings. However, while this glider was hardly successful, in its design can be seen the germ of a idea which would later be used in numerous designs of military jet-powered machines with pivoting movable wing surfaces, notably the F-111 and B-1.

Extractions: NUMBER: NOTES: Octave Chanute (18321910) was born in Paris to Joseph and Eliza (De Bonnaire) Chanute. His parents emigrated from France to the United States in 1838, and Chanute was educated in private schools in New York City. From 1853 to 1863 he worked in various capacities for Hudson River Railroad. In 1857, he married Annie James of Peoria, Illinois. As a civic and consulting engineer, Chanute worked mainly in the construction of railroads and railroad bridges. However, he is known more for his work in the area of aerial navigation. He was probably the first person to conduct scientific gliding experiments in the United States. In 1896 and 1897 Chanute and his assistants made hundreds of glides at Dune Park, near Lake Michigan. He also designed a biplane, which the Wright Brothers used as a model for their designs. Chanute was the author of two influential books

Extractions: Dune Park, August 21 - September 26, 1896 Epilogue - Writing and More Experimentation Notes Prologue In the midst of a blistering heat wave early in July of 1936 a number of people, including the mayor of Gary, aviation historians and citizens of Miller Beach, gathered in Marquette Park to dedicate a plaque to Octave Chanute and his gliding experiments on the beach in 1896. Several people were there who remembered Chanute, remembered that two weeks in late June of 1896 and the flights of the 'crazy old man of the dunes.' While the memory was not fresh, it is certain that many of Miller's residents in 1936 were aware that important experiments in the history of the development of the airplane had occurred on their beach 40 years earlier. In the 60 years since that time the significance and the memory of those glider flights has faded into the past for almost all of Miller's residents. The Significance of the Miller Experiments Modern writers of aviation history recognize Chanute's experiments and their importance to the development of powered flight.

Extractions: Since the dawn of history the idea of human flight has intrigued mankind. As the influence of the Wrights' achievements will last far into the future, so will the contributions of aeronautical pioneers who probed the mysteries of flight before Wilbur and Orville solved the problem. The research of these imaginative pioneer investigators influenced the brothers. In studying those earlier works the Wrights found many points that interested them. The knowledge that other pioneers had shared their faith in the possibility of heavier-than-air flight helped their morale. In the pioneers' direct line of descent from the Greek legend of Daedalus and Icarius to the Wrights is Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci drew some interesting sketches in the late 15th century, though a machine built from his drawings could not possibly have flown. The interest in England of Sir George Cayley influenced other men to undertake the problem. Only a few of the general public could distinguish between a heavier-than-air powered flying machine and a lighter-than-air gas bag equipped with propellers. Few knew that the problem of powered flight was not to fill a balloon with gas or hot air and float in it, or to glide in a complicated kite against air currents. Many among those who realized the obstacles to heavier-than-air flight in a powered machine believed it was as impossible as perpetual motion.

Extractions: Sir George Cayley (1773 - 1857, Yorkshire, England) was instrumental in setting the stage for the first heavier-than-air flight. Cayley developed an advanced understanding of the aeronautics of birds through study of their flight. He systematized the study of flight, experimented with wing design, differentiated between lift and drag, and developed the now fundamental concepts of steering rudders, vertical tail surfaces, rear elevators, and air screws. Cayley realized that a successful man-made flight would require meeting the challenges of lift, control, and propulsion, challenges not yet comprehended by his contemporaries. Octave Chanute (1832 - 1910, Paris, France) was both a mentor and predecessor to the Wright Brothers. Chanute flew gliders before the Wright Brothers first flight. In 1894, Chanute published "Progress in Flying Machines" in which he summarized and analyzed the technical accomplishments in flight to that day. "Progress in Flying Machines" became a classic guide for aspiring aviators, including the Wright Brothers. Chanute's contributions to flight science included such areas as control systems, stability, materials, and structural integrity. Chanute was also instrumental in rekindling the interest in flight in Europe after the Wright Brothers successful first flight. Sheila Evans Widnall (1938 - Tacoma, Washington) is a former Secretary of the Air Force, the only woman to head a military service, and a lauded educator and researcher. Dr. Widnall is known internationally for her research in fluid dynamics including aircraft turbulence and spiraling air flows. She is also a master teacher at MIT and has held the positions of Department Chair, Associate Provost, and Institute Professor. Among her many accolades, Dr. Widnall has won the 1998 Goddard Award from the National Space Club, the 1993 National Academy of Engineering Distinguished Service Award, the ASME Applied Mechanics Award, and the Outstanding Achievement Award in 1975, from the Society of Women Engineers.
Gliding

Extractions: A paraglider in the air. The sport of hang-gliding was pioneered in Germany in the 1890s by Otto Lilienthal, but only became popular in the 1970s, after Francis Rogallo invented a light, kitelike wing constructed from fabric and aluminium tubing. First developed in the 1980s, paragliding substitutes an elongated parachute for the kite wing, but otherwise the aeronautical principles are the same. These are usually accomplished by the use of thermals. The glider first gains height in a thermal, then glides, gradually losing height, to the next thermal, where the process is repeated. By this method, which requires great skill and judgement of weather conditions, sailplanes may fly several hundred kilometres. Launching A sailplane must be given an intitial impetus by an external force in order for it to reach a speed sufficient to keep it in the air. Launching may be by rubber catapult from a hilltop (in the UK, the only remaining site for catapult launches is Long Mynd in Shropshire), by aircraft tow (the towing cable is released by the glider pilot when sufficient height has been gained), or by winch launching where the glider is attached to a winch with a reel of wire (when the wire is retracted the glider is launched like a kite). Once in the air, speed is maintained by depressing the nose and thus losing height in relation to the surrounding air.

Extractions: WRIGHT, Wilbur top West Side News, edited by Wilbur. Already successful printers, the brothers opened a bicycle repair shop and showroom in 1892, and three years later they began assembling bicycles with tools of their own invention. In 1903 the brothers constructed their first propeller, from original calculations; it was about 35 percent more effective than other propellers then available. They next built a 337-kg (750-lb) machine with a 12-hp motor in which, on Dec. 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, first Orville and then Wilbur made the first powered airplane flights in history. Despite public indifference they dedicated themselves to the development of better engines and planes. The site of the first flight, now the Wright Brothers National Memorial, is administered by the National Park Service. In 1908 Wilbur Wright set distance and altitude records in France. That same year the Wrights fulfilled a contract with the U.S. Army Signal Corps to produce a plane that could fly for 10 min at a speed of 64 km/hr (40 mph). They then toured Europe, where they were highly honored. Upon their return to the U.S. in 1909 they received further honors. Wilbur became president of the newly incorporated American Wright Co. He died in Dayton three years later, on May 30, 1912, of typhoid fever.

Extractions: Smithsonian Institution The history of the airplane is rooted in several centuries of European research into the forces operating on a body immersed in a fluid stream, culminating in one hundred years of active flight experimentation, from the work of the Englishman Sir George Cayley (1773 - 1857), to that of the German gliding pioneer, Otto Lilienthal (1848 1896). By 1896, however, leadership in aeronautical research had passed to the United States, where pioneers like Octave Chanute (1832 - 1910) and Samuel Pierpont Langley (1834 - 1906) were setting the stage for the achievement of powered, heavier-than-air flight. On May 6, 1896, Langley, the third Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, succeeded in launching the first reasonably large, steam-powered model aircraft on flights of up to three quarters of a mile over the Potomac River. Later that year, Chanute, a prominent American civil engineer and internationally recognized authority on the problems of flight, led a band of experimenters into the sand dunes east of Chicago, IL, where they flew a series of gliders, including a very advanced biplane that pointed the way to the future of aircraft structures.
