EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of takeoff for the Tissandier Airship 2, piloted by the visionary brothers Gaston and Albert Tissandier, from Auteuil, near Paris, in October 1883. Marking a significant milestone in aviation history, this electric-powered dirigible was the world's first successful flight of a rigid airship, paving the way for future airship transportation. The Tissandier brothers, pioneers in the field of lighter-than-air flight, had been experimenting with various designs since the late 1870s. Their determination and innovative spirit led them to develop an airship with a unique rigid structure, powered by electricity. The airship's envelope was filled with hydrogen, and its propulsion system consisted of two electric motors, each driving a three-bladed propeller. On the day of this momentous event, a large crowd gathered at Auteuil to witness the brothers' groundbreaking achievement. With the assistance of a team of helpers, Gaston and Albert managed to fill the airship with hydrogen and prepare it for takeoff. As the tension in the air grew, the brothers climbed aboard, and with a few final adjustments, they were ready. As the photograph reveals, the Tissandier Airship 2 lifts gently off the ground, its rigid structure holding firm against the wind. The brothers' faces are etched with determination and excitement as they embark on their historic flight. The successful takeoff marked the beginning of a new era in aviation, demonstrating the potential for airships as a viable means of transportation. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of the Tissandier brothers and their groundbreaking achievement in the annals of aviation history.
