ALTERNATE FORMATS: None RELATED HOLDINGS: None ACCESSION NUMBER: NOTES: BIOGRAPHiCAL SKETCH Octave Chanute (1832–1910) 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

The First Experiments - Miller Beach, Indiana, June 22- July 4, 1896 The Second Experiments - 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.

Octave Chanute Glider Octave Chanute (1832 - 1910): 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. Octave Chanute and the Wright Brothers: 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.

Octave Alexandre Chanute Augustus Moore Herring Carroll Gray All Rights To This Web Domain And Web Site And Contents Thereof Are Reserved Octave Alexandre Chanute 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. Camp Chanute, Dune Park, Indiana - 1896 Magic Lantern glass slide (ca. 1909) depicting Octave Chanute's first glider - 1896 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.
