The Ader Éole, also called Avion (French for aeroplane), was an early steam-powered aircraft developed by Clément Ader in the 1890s and named after the Greco-Roman wind god Aeolus.
Ader Éole, monoplane designed, built, and first tested by the French aeronautical pioneer Clément Ader in 1890. For a table of pioneer aircraft, see history of flight. Ader began work on his first powered aircraft in 1882. Named Éole in honour of the Greek god of the winds (Aeolus), the machine was.
L' Éole d' Ader. L' Éole (du nom d' Éole, maître des vents dans la mythologie grecque) est le premier prototype d' avion – de type aérodyne – construit par Clément Ader. S'inspirant de la morphologie des chauves-souris, l'appareil fut testé le 9 octobre 1890, dans le parc du château de Gretz-Armainvilliers : il aurait réussi à s ...

Ader was an innovator in electrical and mechanical engineering. He originally studied electrical engineering, and in 1878 improved on the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell. After this he established the telephone network in Paris in 1880. In 1881, he invented the théâtrophone, a system of telephonic transmission where listeners received a...
Following his work with V8 engines, Ader turned to the problem of mechanical flight and until the end of his life gave much time and money to this. Using the studies of Louis Pierre Mouillard (1834–1897) on the flight of birds, he constructed his first flying machine in 1886, the Ader Éole. It was a bat-like design run by a lightweight steam engine...
Clément Ader remained an active proponent of the development of aviation. In 1909 he published L'Aviation Militaire, a very popular book which went through 10 editions in the five years before the First World War. It is notable for its vision of aerial warfare and for its foreseeing the form of the modern aircraft carrier, with a flat flight deck, ...
Ader is still admired for his early powered flight efforts, and his aircraft gave the French language the word avion for a heavier-than-air aircraft. In 1938, France issued a postage stamp honoring him. Airbus named one of its aircraft assembly sites in Toulouseafter him. Clément Ader has been referred to as "the father of aviation".

Oct 9, 2012 · By 1886, fully four years before his test flight, Clément Ader had already built his Éole, yet knew that he would need a more powerful engine. A dedicated inventor, Clément Ader was no stranger to mechanical and electrical things, so a steam design was not a far reach for his intellect.
Oct 9, 2020 · On 9 October 1890, French engineer Clément Ader’s Eole (Avion I) aircraft took off from the grounds of Château d’Armainvilliers near Paris for a distance of approximately 50 metres and a height of around 20 centimetres. The performance is generally accepted by historians despite not being officially recorded.
Clément Ader, né le 2 avril 1841 à Muret et mort le 3 mai 1925 à Toulouse, est un ingénieur français, pionnier de l'aviation. Il est possiblement le premier à avoir fait décoller un engin motorisé plus lourd que l'air en 1890 .
