I expect that we will always continue to disagree in many of our opinions just as we have done ever since our first acquaintance began and even before, but such differences need not disturb a friendship which has existed so long. The necessity for more rapid communication was evident; many projects for superceding horse cars had been proposed but none was recognized as solving the problem and the public seemed to be completely at sea. As a young man, Chanute became a well-known engineer by designing railroads, bridges, and stockyards. Twenty years earlier, however, Mouillard and his crude second glider (the first was built in 1856) were lifted a short distance off the ground by an unexpected puff of wind. On ne court presque aucun risque, si l’on est prudent.Tout en admirant les résultats des expériences de M. le capitaine Ferber, il trouve son terrain mal choisi à cause du sol rocheux qui le constitue et des précipices qui l’entourent. I must greatly increase their importance. Wilbur Wright presented the eulogy at the engineer’s funeral. In this experiment, described by Mouillard in a letter to Chanute, Jan. 5, 1896, the machine, with Mouillard aboard and a rope attached to the front end, “to guide it and maintain its proper course against the wind,” was pushed over the edge of a hill and, after rolling downward a short distance, rose “8 or 10 meters,” and sank gently to earth.
Personally, I do not think that the courts will hold that the principle underlying the warping tips can be patented. K. Graham, and Francis Collingwood, they undertook to collect all the data and facts. l’aéroplane chavirait, causant la mort du téméraire aviateur.En somme, dit M. Chanute, je n’ai eu d’autre mérite que de prendre les expériences de Lilienthal là où la mort l’avait surpris et de les perfectionner de mon mieux, jusqu’à ce que d’autres, plus heureux, reprennent mes travaux à leur tour et les amènent peu à peu au résultat parfait. This was in the face of the wind, as none of the experimenters are yet willing to turn themselves loose before a breeze as stiff as that blowing yesterday in the neighborhood of the lake.Mr. Few men were more universally respected and loved.Mr. Although his experiments in automatic stability did not yield results which the world has yet been able to utilize, his labors had vast influence in bringing about the era of human flight.
You know, of course, what Pettigrew and Marey said about it. Il demande, toutefois, qu’il soit procédé à la nomination d’une commission chargée d’exposer directement les desiderata de l’assemblée à M. Michel Lagrave, commissaire général de la section française, qui les transmettra au Comité général de l’Exposition de Saint-Louis.Il est probable qu’il sera déféré au désir de M. Chanute et qu’une commission élue par l’Aéro-Club rédigera un projet de modifications aux règlements du concours de Saint-Louis. The present generation needs no eulogy of him, and for posterity it may be simply stated that he possessed the qualities of mind and heart which endeared him to his friends, caused those with whom he came in contact to respect and admire him, and which, ripened and chastened by the hard school of experience, produced in him one of our foremost Engineers, whose busy life was rich in works and achievement, and kindly and generous acts, commanding our admiration and prompting our love.Mr. En 1900, les frères Wright,constructeurs de bicyclettes, à Dayton (Ohio), écrivirent à M. Chanute pour lui demander des détails sur ses expériences. We need you to answer this question! History at your fingertips
