Octave Chanute One of the true giants in the development of aviation was Octave Chanute (1832-1910). He was born in Paris but spent most of his life in the United States working as a civil engineer and scientist. His book, Progress in Flying Machines (1894), provided one of the first comprehensive guides to the new science of aeronautics. This text was used extensively by the Wright Brothers in their creation of the first successful powered aircraft. Octave Chanute conducted important experiments with manned gliders near Chicago, in Miller Beach, Indiana (June/July, 1896) and Dune Park, Indiana (August/September, 1896). These experiments were studied closely by the Wright Brothers and credited (by Wilbur Wright) with influencing their subsequent work. After the Wright Brothers successful first flight at Kitty Hawk, NC in 1903, Octave Chanute lectured in Paris on the subject of aeronautic design, which served as the inspiration for a generation of European aircraft developers. Chanute is believed to be the first to conceive what was later referred to as the Controlwing by George Spratt. This page will explore that development in more detail as information is gathered. Any contributions to that effort would be appreciated.

Van Nostrand, 1870. In 1869 Kansas City was still a small town, much less important than Leavenworth. The Kansas City Bridge (later called the Hannibal Bridge) changed that quite rapidly. Designed and erected by Octave Chanute, the bridge was the first across the Missouri River, and it made Kansas City into a railroad hub and a center for westward expansion. The bridge was constructed of wrought iron, sitting on limestone piers, with a swing section to allow shipping to pass through. It was replaced by a steel bridge in 1916. The illustration of the completed bridge is from the book Chanute wrote on the project; this copy was presented by Chanute to the American Society of Civil Engineers. Chanute went on to become quite well-known, not only for his engineering feats, but for his work on manned flight. Linda Hall Library , 5109 Cherry St., Kansas City, Missouri 64110-2498 USA.

Recognizing the significance of the first powered flights by Orville and Wilbur Wright in the January 8, 1904 issue of the journal Science (published by the American Association for Advancement of Science ), a writer by the name of H.H. Clayton observed, "It meant that after ages of endeavor man had at last been able to support himself in the air as does a bird and to land in safety at a spot chosen in advance." Clayton went on to suggest that not all the credit belonged to the Wrights: "The modern success in aeronautics may be said, I think, to date from the feat of Otto Lilienthal in 1891 in gliding down an incline in an aeroplane." From this point on, he forecast, "progress will probably be rapid." But he reminded readers not to forget the others on whose shoulders the Wright Brothers stood. "In the progress now achieved a great deal is due to Mr. Octave Chanute , an eminent American engineer, whose enthusiasm and great knowledge have stimulated the work of

The History of the Discovery of the First Flying Machine People created many elaborate flying machines in their attempts to see the world from the sky. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was one of the world's great thinkers and first serious student of the science of aeronautics. Had it not been for the breadth of his genius and the resulting variety of his interests, he might have designed the first man-carrying glider. Leonardo saw the difference between flapping flight and gliding flight. In one of his notebooks he wrote: "Beginnings of things are often the cause of great results. Thus we may see a small almost imperceptible movement of the rudder turn a ship of marvelous size and loaded with a very heavy cargo... so in those birds which can support themselves above the course of the winds without beating their wings, a slight movement of the wing or tail, serving them to enter below or above the wind, suffices to prevent their fall". Here, in Leonardo's own words, was the key to successful gliding which, in turn, was to become the key to successful manned flight. Here was a description of the importance of delicate controls. But, a far as we know, he designed only flapping machines. Leonardo studied wind currents and the effects of varying temperatures on the movement of air. His notebooks are filled with drawings of the structures of the wings and tails of various birds, man-carrying machines and devices for the testing of wings. Leonardo's notes on bird and mechanical flight were not studied by other pioneers until the nineteenth century.

Sports Business FYI Local ... Showtime Eccentric Chanute left imprint on Kansas City Date: 10/20/97 15:56 Halfway into a life of wondrous achievements, though one largely forgotten, Octave Chanute moved to Kansas City in 1867 to design the first railroad bridge over the Missouri River. He had just turned 35. A self-trained civil engineer working for the railroads, Chanute immediately stood out in rough-hewn Kansas City. Born in Paris, he sported the French "imperial" look pointed mustache, hair tuft on his chin mimicking the emperor Napoleon III. Odder yet, he pondered the possibility of manned flight. Call him eccentric, but Chanute's impact on the fledgling town was solid: In an age when dozens of bridges collapsed yearly, his Kansas City creation the so-called Hannibal Bridge stood nearly five decades. He designed the Union Stock Yards. He platted the town of Lenexa. Chanute's work outside the area was even more impressive. When just 24, he led construction of what then was the longest railroad drawbridge in the world, over the Illinois River. At 43, as head of the American Society of Civil Engineers, his research into elevated railways helped form New York City's transit system. Returning to Kansas City in the 1880s, he published "The Sewerage of Kansas City," which urged town builders to resist combining rain water and "house refuse" in one system.

As part of the Wright Brothers' systematic practice of photographing every prototype and test of their various flying machines, they had persuaded an attendant from a nearby lifesaving station to snap Orville Wright in full flight. The craft soared to an altitude of 10 feet, traveled 120 feet, and landed 12 seconds after takeoff. After making two longer flights that day, Orville and Wilbur Wright sent this telegram to their father, instructing him to "inform press."

34. The United States' History Of Flight By 1896, however, leadership in aeronautical research had passed to the UnitedStates, where pioneers like Octave Chanute (18321910) and Samuel Pierpont http://www.flight100.org/history/us.html

UNITED STATES 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 100 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 6 May 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, where they flew a series of gliders, including a very advanced biplane that pointed the way to the future of aircraft structures. Wilbur (1867-1912) and Orville Wright (1871-1948), the proprietors of a bicycle sales, repair, and manufacturing shop in Dayton, Ohio, wrote to the Smithsonian Institution and to Octave Chanute in 1899-1900, requesting information on aeronautics and announcing their decision to begin their own experiments. The Wrights were superb self-trained engineers who developed an extraordinarily successful research strategy that enabled them to overcome one set of challenging problems after another, the full extent of which few other experimenters had even suspected.

Clube de Aeromodelismo de Lisboa UM PEQUENO VOO PARA UM HOMEM, UM SALTO GIGANTE PARA A AVIAÇO 17 DE DEZEMBRO DE 1903: O PRIMEIRO CENTENÁRIO DA AVIAÇO por Fernando Teixeira Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, 14 de Dezembro. Faz um frio cortante de Inverno. Dois homens estão junto da estrutura esquisita duma máquina de madeira forrada de pano, com alguns arames à mistura. O que fará esta máquina num sítio tão ermo? Que máquina será esta? Depois de uma pequena conversa, estes dois homens, irmãos, de nomes próprios Wilbur e Orville, pegam numa moeda e atiram-na ao ar para deixar ao cuidado da sorte um momento importante da história da Humanidade. A sorte escolhe Wilbur, que se deita em cima da parte inferior da estrutura da referida máquina de madeira forrada a pano. Um motor barulhento é posto a trabalhar e, então, a tal máquina desloca-se cerca de 12 metros, enterrando-se na areia da praia, danificando ligeiramente a sua parte da frente. Reparam-se rapidamente os pequenos danos, e passados três dias, no dia 17, lá estão novamente os dois homens arrostando com um vento gélido de 50 km/h. Neste dia é a vez do irmão Orville. Passam cerca de trinta minutos das dez da manhã. O motor é posto a trabalhar. Orville acelera o motor. São 10:35 h mais precisamente. A máquina começa a deslocar-se. À medida que ganha velocidade começa a subir. Voa de uma forma oscilante, desajeitada, mas controlada. Quarenta metros mais à frente, volta a tomar contacto com a areia de Kitty Hawk. Passaram 12 segundos desde que a máquina arrancou.

INTRODUCTION HISTORY OF FLIGHT PRINCIPLES FLIGHT DIRECTIONAL CONTROL page="Airplane_English"; Thai What Makes An Airplane Fly GENERAL This is just the basic informations for the beginners which did not know any things about the aircraft or airplane before and wants to know some principles that why the airplane can fly but not in deep details. For the people that want to know more than what I have in here, please go to the text book which have many professors wrote them and the details about the airplane have so much to put it all in the WEB. INTRODUCTION It was , of couse, the birds who were responsible for the whole complicated story and business. A man with the brain of a scientist began to think seriouly about attainment of the dream. This was Leonado da Vinci (1452-1519), whose detail study of bird flight nevertheless led him to the erroneous conclusion that man's muscular power, so superior to that of the birds, should enable him to fly in a properly constructed ornithopter,or flapping-wing aircraft.

39. The Airplane The Wrights were admirers of the writings and feats of the German engineer Otto Lilienthal,the American engineer Octave Chanute (18321910), and other glider http://www.bergen.org/ECEMS/class/air.htm

The Airplane Invented by: Wilbur and Orville Wright Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) was born in Millville, Indiana, on April 16, 1867. As boys, he and his younger brother Orville made simple mechanical toys, and in 1888 they built a large printing press. The following year they began to publish the Dayton, Ohio, 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. The Wrights were admirers of the writings and feats of the German engineer Otto Lilienthal, the American engineer Octave Chanute (1832-1910), and other glider experimenters. In September 1900 at Kill Devil Hills, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, they tested their own glider. Carefully recording their findings, they concluded that the previously accepted aeronautical data on which they had relied were erroneous. In 1901 the brothers tested the effects of air pressure on more than 200 wing surfaces and in 1902, executing almost 1000 glides in a new glider, they confirmed their Kitty Hawk data. At Kitty Hawk the Wrights also proved to their satisfaction that planes could be balanced best by pilots, rather than by built-in engineering devices; this was the major idea covered by the first Wright patent. 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 December 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.
