He became an outstanding civil engineer and respected scientist who lent his talents to furthering human transportation. He spent most of his adult life as an engineer in the railroad industry, but later gained international fame in the study of aeronautics. He published Progress in Flying Machines in New York in 1894, which summarized and thoroughly analyzed the technical accomplishments of the world's aviation pioneers up to that time. The book became a classic and a guidebook for the efforts of many would-be aviators around the world, including the Wright brothers. Chanute designed and oversaw the construction of several important railroads in this country, as well as the first railroad bridge over the Missouri River and the Union stockyards in Kansas City and Chicago. He had a wide variety of interests and specialties, being an authority in iron bridges, truss construction techniques, and wood preservation.

American Aerospace Pioneers Octave Alexander Chanute Although he never flew, Octave Chanute spent much of his life spurring others to do so. Born in Paris and coming to the United States as a child, Chanute became an outstanding civil engineer and respected writer who lent his talents to furthering human transportation. He spent time as a consulting engineer for the railroad industry, but later gained international fame in the study of aeronautics. He published Progress in Flying Machines in New York in 1894, which summarized and thoroughly analyzed the technical accomplishments of the world's aviation pioneers up to that time. The book became a classic and a guidebook for the efforts of many would-be aviators around the world, including the Wright brothers. After the Wright Flyer flew in 1903, Chanute gave lectures in Paris in which he showed photographs of the Flyer in action. His lectures inspired many Europeans to engage in an international rivalry in aircraft design. Return to Pioneers of American Aviation Return to the Hill Aerospace Museum Homepage

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.

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.

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 Development of Flight by Rit Nosotro Change Over Time essay Analyze the development of flight from 1450 - 2000. Introduction Over the past two centuries, man has made significant progress in unlocking the science of flight which has greatly impacted the way in which people travel, the economies of many countries, and the manner in which nations wage war upon one another. Through initially experimenting with lighter-than-air flight, such as with hot air balloons and also with kites, man realized that flight would be feasible. These developments led to more knowledgeable experimentation with heavier-than-air flight with such inventions as gliders and other fixed wing aircraft. However a world of difference separates these two technologies. Early Developments For centuries, man has dreamed of flying through the air as they saw birds seemingly effortlessly soaring high into the sky. Many legends arose about supernatural beings or men who flew. One famous Greek myth tells of a father and son, Daedalus and Icarus, who used wax to secure birds' feathers to their arms with which they were able to fly. Many other cultures also have myths and legends about flight like the Africans, Indians, Native Americans, Arabs, and Chinese. The Chinese built giant kites to which a man could be tied for the purpose of reconnaissance; since the kites needed sufficient gusts of wind and had to be tethered to an object on the ground, they were immobile thus making them largely impractical. Some early "aviators" tried variations of attaching something to their arms and flapping them like wings after jumping off a cliff; many of these early attempts ended in injury or death.
