Home Octave Alexander Chanute Octave Chanute (pronounced "sha-noot") was born in Paris and came to the United States as a child. 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. The Wright brothers acknowledged Chanute's key role as a mentor, saying that his research and continual inspiration paved the way for their success. Chanute corresponded with them for many years and even visited their camp at Kitty Hawk during their flight experiments.

. Octave Chanute (1832-1910) was the founder of Chanute, Kansas. Octave Chanute was born in Paris, came to the U.S. as a child, and made his living building railroads. He constructed half a dozen railroads in the Midwest and developed the process still in use to preserve railroad ties by treating them with creosote. Between 1890 and 1910 he was probably the world's most influential aviation authority. He advised the Wright Brothers. His picture appeared on a 21-cent U.S. postage stamp.

10. Octave Chanute - Biography - Kansas City Missouri History 18321910. When Octave Chanute came to Kansas City in 1867 to engineer the buildingof the first bridge across the Missouri River, he held the city’s future http://www.kclibrary.org/sc/bio/chanute.htm

Octave Chanute Engineer Hannibal Bridge , designed by Chanute and completed in 1869, made Kansas City the link between the railroads of the east and the trade of westward expansion. This engineering marvel contributed to an eight-fold population growth here between 1865 and 1870. The seven limestone and concrete piers of the mile-long span were sunk into the sand and rock riverbed of the swiftly flowing Missouri River. The center section of the railroad bridge pivoted, allowing tall boats to pass. Once it opened, an average of 18 trains a day crossed, leading to a boom in area population, industry and property values. A pedestrian walkway spanned much of the length of the bridge, and horse-drawn vehicles paid a toll to cross when trains were not operating. The ornate iron Hannibal Bridge was replaced by the current carbon steel version in 1916. After he left Kansas City, Chanute helped to design the early elevated trains system of New York City and became very involved in early attempts at flight, often pursuing engineering experiments with the Wright Brothers. He died in Chicago in 1910, leaving a legacy of innovative transportation engineering across the United States. Written by Susan Jezak Ford Sources DeAngelo, Dory and Flynn, Jane Fifield.

Octave Chanute Octave Chanute (1832-1910), born in France, was a naturalized American. He was a talented and highly-successful civil engineer. Chanute designed the first bridge (railroad) over the Missouri River and designed the Union stockyards in Chicago and Kansas City. Following his early retirement, Chanute took up a never-ending campaign to champion the invention of the airplane. He acted as a tireless publicist, collecting information from all corners of the globe and sending out information to all askers. Of particular import, his long correspondence with Louis Mouillard. Further, the interest of a prominent engineer in matters of aviation lent a considerable respectability to the nascent field. In 1894, Chanute published a compendium of early aviation experiments, Progress in Flying Machines that was widely read and respected. In 1896, Chanute became an even more active participant, commissioning several craft in 1896 which were contsructed in William Avery's shop. Chanute's favorite was the Katydid,

A pesar de que gracias a los globos aerostáticos el hombre por fin pudo elevarse por los aires, evidentemente este medio presentaba múltiples inconvenientes como el hecho de que los globos no pueden ser dirigidos a voluntad (los dirigibles no aparecerían hasta 1843), así como su lentitud para desplazarse de un lado a otro. Fue por esas causas que muchas personas se empeñaron en investigar la posibilidad del vuelo por medios mecánicos y no sólo por la vía de la flotación y sentaron las bases necesarias para la realización del vuelo de los hermanos Wright en 1903. El primero de estos pioneros de la aviación fue Sir George Cayley (1773-1857), un baronet de Yorkshire quién investigó temas tan diversos como el desagüe y la recuperación de tierra, motores de aire caliente, tractores de oruga y los miembros humanos artificiales. Fue miembro del Parlamento inglés y fundador de la Asociación Británica para el Progreso de la Ciencia. Sir George Cayley Primer planeador de Cayley, diseño de 1804 En 1804, tras años de minuciosa investigación, construyó su primer aparato, un modelo de planeador calificado por algunos historiadores como el primer aeroplano.

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. Linda Hall Library , 5109 Cherry St., Kansas City, Missouri 64110-2498 USA.
