Clément Ader - Francopedia Clément Ader, inventeur fécond (les chenilles de chars, la transmission stéréophonique ou « théatrophone », le câble sousmarin, l' aéroglisseur, le moteur V8) et père de l'aviation moderne, a consacré une grande partie de sa vie à la réalisation d'un rêve d'enfant : le vol d'un plus lourd que l'air. Clément Agnès Ader est né à Muret le 2 avril 1841 de François Ader ( 30 janvier 1812 - 14 janvier 1889) et de sa deuxième femme, Antoinette Forthané ( 8 mars 1816 - 6 novembre 1865). Ader commence alors la construction d'un second appareil, évolution du premier mais présentant des similitudes avec l'Éole : l'appareil est monomoteur, son moteur est un bicylindre à vapeur ultra-léger de 20 ch et 35 kg. www.francopedia.org /Cl%E9ment_Ader.html

Articles - Clément Ader Ader's progress attracted the interest of the minister of war, Charles de Freycinet. Following the wreck of the Éole, Ader undertook the construction of an aircraft he called the Avion II (also referred to as the Zephyr or Éole II). Most sources agree that work on this aircraft was never completed, and it was abandoned in favour of the Avion III, However, Ader claimed in later life that he flew the Avion II in August 1892 for a distance of 200 yards (200 m) in Satory. www.x-moto.net /articles/Clément_Ader

Air Force Link - History Features Later in life, in response to unjustified criticism of his earlier Éole, Ader claimed both it and the Avion III had, in fact, been great successes. ever apparently flew again, but Ader was able to secure government funding in February 1892 to develop a military airplane--the first military airplane acquisition contract in history.

Ader Avion III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Avion III (sometimes referred to as the Aquilon or the Éole III) was a primitive steam -powered aircraft built by Clément Ader between 1892 and 1897, financed by the French War Office. Retaining the same basic bat-like configuration of the Éole, the Avion III was equipped with two engines driving two propellers. Late in his life, Ader would claim that there had been a flight of 100 m (328 ft) on this day, and said he had two witnesses to confirm it. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Avion_III

Air Force Link - History Features Ader recollected later that "for a few seconds I was suspended in a state of indefinable joy." In fact, Ader was quite lucky, for the Éole had no significant provisions for any sort of control, and had he gotten higher, he might well have crashed and been killed or at least seriously injured. Ader, a carpenter's son born in Muret, in the south of France, showed a pronounced technical aptitude as a child.

Contacté par l'armée intéressée par le projet, Ader effectue un deuxième vol à bord de l'Éole au camp de Satory en septembre 1891, l'appareil impressionne positivement les militaires qui commandent à Ader un second appareil. www.francopedia.org /Cl%E9ment_Ader.html

Ader, a carpenter's son born in Muret, in the south of France, showed a pronounced technical aptitude as a child. In 1911, in honor of Ader's work, the French general Pierre-Auguste Rocques, chief of French Army aviation, directed that Ader's term avion would be the official word for an airplane, replacing the earlier French word aeroplane dating to J. Pline in the 1850s and used by Pénaud and other French pioneers. www.af.mil /history/essay6.asp

Airplanes Sir George Cayley, the inventor of the science of aerodynamics, was building and flying models of fixed wing aircraft as early as 1803, and he built a successful passenger-carrying glider in 1853, but it is known the first practical self-powered aeroplanes were designed and constructed by Clément Ader. On October 9, 1890, Ader attempted to flight the Éole, which succeeded in taking off and flying a distance of approximately 50 metres before witnesses. There are also rare examples of aircraft which can vary the angle of incidence of their wings in flight, such the F-8 Crusader, which are also considered to be "fixed-wing". www.mindwallet.com /wiki/Airplanes

Ader Avion II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Avion II (sometimes referred to as the Zéphyr (west wind) or the Éole II) was the second primitive aircraft designed by Clément Ader in the 1890s. Most sources agree that work on it was never completed, Ader abandoning it in favour of the Avion III that had a financial backer, but Ader claimed in later life that he flew the Avion II in August 1892 for a distance of 200 yards (200 m) at a field in Satory. The first official text noting it is French patent no. 205 555 granted to Ader on April 19, 1890. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Avion_II

100 Years of Flight. Funding was stopped and Ader's stopped his experimentations. To fund further experiments Ader turned to the French Ministry of War. The French, interested in anything to give them an edge over Germany granted Ader the funds to continue developing his ideas. hammerheadpilotgear.com /before.htm

Clement Ader in the Aviation History Encyclopedia Ader then constructed Éole III which he baptised with a name destined for good luck: the Avion, a term showing up for the first time in his patent. Using the studies of Louis Mouillard (1834-1837) on the flight of birds, he constructed his first flying machine in 1886, the Éole, a bat-like design run by a lightweight steam engine of his own invention (4 cylinders developing 20 horsepower, the weight no more than 7 pounds per horsepower) and driving a four-blade propeller. Witnesses claimed to have seen it fly a short distance, but it was wrecked in the attempt. www.usairnet.com /encyclopedia/Clement_Ader.html   (458 words)

In August 1892, the Éole II accomplished a feat of 200 yards at a field in Satory, and managed to excite the interest of the minister of war Freycinet. The Avion was like an enormous bat of linen and wood, of 16 yards in wingspan, equipped with two puller propellers of four blades, each powered by a steam engine of 30 hp. www.usairnet.com /encyclopedia/Clement_Ader.html   (458 words)

Terra Incognita Links The Éole — Clément Ader’s Éole has always been one of my favorite airplane precursors — a bat-like, steam powered craft with a comfortable looking cabin. For those “visual learners”, the site features a period-by-period annotated guide to Modern History in the Movies. Pearse didn’t get far, and ended up in a bush, but some argue that he made the first sustained, controlled flight. www.nagssociety.com /links/links.htm   (458 words)
