EDITORS COMMENTS
This image documents the historic first flight of the Santos-Dumont airship No5, which took place at Longchamps, Paris on October 19, 1901. The Brazilian inventor and aviation pioneer, Alberto Santos-Dumont (1873-1932), is seen standing proudly beside his groundbreaking invention, as it prepares for takeoff. The airship, also known as the "14-bis," was a significant milestone in the development of lighter-than-air flight. The Santos-Dumont No5 was a hydrogen-filled, non-rigid airship, featuring a unique streamlined shape and innovative control system. Its elongated fuselage was covered in a lightweight fabric, while the control surfaces were operated by a system of wires and pulleys. The airship's innovative design allowed it to achieve an impressive altitude of 2,000 feet and a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour. The success of the Santos-Dumont No5 marked a turning point in the history of aviation. It not only demonstrated the potential of airships as a viable means of transportation but also inspired further advancements in the field. Santos-Dumont's achievements paved the way for the development of more sophisticated airships and, eventually, fixed-wing aircraft. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of Santos-Dumont and his contemporaries, who dared to dream of soaring through the skies. It captures a moment in time when the impossible became possible, and the world was forever changed by the power of human innovation.
