	Clément Ader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Ader's progress attracted the interest of the minister of war, Charles de Freycinet.

	The Pioneers : An Anthology : Clément Ader (1841-1926)
		Clément Ader's Avion III, otherwise known as the "Bat", one of the centrepieces at the Musée des arts et métiers, was restored in the 1980s by the Musée de l'air et de l'espace at its workshop in Meudon, near Paris.
		Ader and his friends alleged that a flight of nearly a thousand feet was made; again the machine was wrecked at the end of the trial, and there Ader's practical work may be said to have ended, since no more funds were forthcoming for the subsidy of experiments.
		It was in September of 1891 that Ader, by permission of the Minister of War, moved the 'Eole' to the military establishment at Satory for the purpose of further trial.

	Clement Ader in the Aviation History Encyclopedia
		Clément Ader (February 4, 1841 - March 5, 1926) was a French engineer born in Muret, Haute Garonne remembered primarily for his pioneering work in aviation.
		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.
		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.

	Ader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ader was a French automobile designed and built by Clément Ader, a pioneer in flight and telephone service.
		The Ader was built in Paris by his Société Industrielle des Téléphones between 1896 and 1907.
		That year Ader listed twin-cylinder cars of 904 cc and 1571cc, as well as four-cylinders of 1810 cc and 3142 cc; each was available in a wide range of coachwork.

	Aerospaceweb.org \| Ask Us - Who Was the First to Fly
		Ader claimed that he flew the Eole a distance of 160 ft (50 m) on 9 October 1890 while testing the craft on the estate of a friend near Paris.
		Nevertheless, Ader's flight was the first demonstration that a powered aircraft could in fact fly, and the success spurred the French military to fund the construction of a larger and more powerful vehicle of the same basic design.
		Clément Ader is rightly considered to be the "Father of French Aviation," and his Avion III is an honored display at the Musée de l'air et de l'espace.

	Today in Technology History - Oct 9
		Clément Ader (1841-1925) had been interested in flight for years, and as a young man had expended considerable effort on kites and balloons.
		Ader kept working on aviation for a decade, but in the early 1900s he destroyed or sold all his equipment.
		Some people consider Ader's 1890 test to be the first airplane flight, and the French are rightly proud of his accomplishments -- but in fact, his designs would never have been capable of sustained flight.

	Clement Ader's Eole early Flying Machine
		Heartened by the, result, Ader had been substantially funded by the French government to research whether the craft could lift off the ground and cover a given distance, and he himself invested all he had in the construction of the Avion III which he presented before the French Ministry on October 14.
		Ader was an electrical engineer and inventor, and his name endures in history not only for his pioneering flight, or hop, which he claimed to have made in secret on 9 October 1890, but for his work in developing the telephone.
		Ader foresaw clearly the military uses of airplanes and the French military authorities gave him financial assistance.

		In August 1892, the Éole II accomplished a feat of 200 yards (200 m) 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 (22 kW).

	Chapter 4
		Ader, a French inventor and telephone pioneer, began work on the heavier-than-air problem in 1872.
		If Ader did indeed make the flight, he would have a right to claim the first powered flight in history, a claim that would precede that of the Wright brothers.
		Although Ader was a capable engineer and contributed much to the "flying problem," his legitimacy was called into question when he later claimed to have made a 900-foot flight in his third flying machine, the Avion III.

	The Telephone at the Paris Opera (1881)
		Clément Ader's experiments with distant telephone listening used dual lines connected to microphones placed on both sides of the stage, with the then-remarkable result that the sounds were heard in stereo, including the novelty that "aural impressions change with the relative positions of the singers, and their movements can in this way be followed".
		The transmitters are microphones on the Ader system, placed in front of the opera stage, close to the footlights and behind them.
		Ader has discovered, and applied for the first time in the telephonic transmission at the Electrical Exhibition.

		Ader discovered the stereo effect with his theatrophone and not with his microphone.
		Ader was an early enthusiast of aviation who constructed a balloon at his own expense during the Franco-German War of 1870-71.

		Clement Ader was, by all accounts, a brilliant man who taught himself engineering.
		Clement Ader claimed that while he was aboard the Ader Eole he made a steam-engine powered low-level flight of approximately 160 feet on October 9, 1890, in the suburbs of Paris, from a level field on the estate of a friend.
		While the Ader Eole was powered and heavier-than-air, it was not capable of a prolonged flight (due to the use of a steam engine) and it lacked adequate provisions for full flight control.

		Ader Avion II 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.
		The Avion, or one of its relatives has the distinction of being at the origin of ''avion'', the most common word in French to designate an airplane, and the nearest equivalent to the English word "plane".
		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.

		After the advent of relatively light combustion engines (Benz, Otto, Diesel), other pioneers followed: Richard Pearse (March 1903) and Karl Jatho (August 1903), who was able to start his self-made motored gliding airplane without the aid of a catapult.

		As for the ever-pesky French, many still hold out for Clement Ader, who built the steam-powered Eole, a craft resembling a giant bat.
		Although it was incapable of sustained flight, in 1890 Ader managed to get the Eole off the ground for 160 feet or so -- a mere ''powered hop,'' according to the Smithsonian's Tom Crouch.
		Aviation historians have debunked Ader's claims of subsequent flights, but in his new book ''Taking Flight,'' Richard Hallion notes that visitors to Charles de Gaulle airport can dine at Chez Clement, a restaurant featuring a graphic of Ader ''laughing jauntily'' as his Eole soars in the background.

		Clement Ader designed three powered airplanes, the Eole, the Avion II, and the Avion III.
		In 1906, following publicity about the Wright brothers' success, Ader made the rather pathetic claim that the Avion III had flown 300 meters in 1897.
		A small group of Europeans, who sought to minimize the Wrights role in the invention of the airplane, promoted this claim for selfish reasons.

	Pioneer Aviators of the World: Other Claims to First Flight
		We do not credit the earlier claims (Clement Ader of France, Karl Jatho of Germany and others) because their flights were not controlled to a degree that they could willingly stay in the air once they had taken off.
		However, they benefitted from an international lull in experimentation, probably caused by the very public failures of two government-funded inventors -- Ader in France, and Samuel Pierpont Langley in the U.S. By the summer of 1905, the Wrights were testing the world's first practical flying machine.
		Using a catapult to accelerate their takeoffs, they flew almost 25 miles at a stretch by the end of the year.
