Alberto Santos-Dumont
Alberto Santos-Dumont ((:awˈbɛʁtu ˈsɐ̃tuz duˈmõ); 20 July 1873 – 23 July 1932) was a Brazilian aviation pioneer. The heir of a wealthy family of coffee producers, Santos Dumont dedicated himself to aeronautical study and experimentation in Paris, France, where he spent most of his adult life.
Santos-Dumont designed, built, and flew hot air balloons and early dirigibles, his rising fame in this field culminating in his winning of the Deutsch de la Meurthe prize on 19 October 1901 on a flight that rounded the Eiffel Tower.
Following his pioneering work in airships, Santos-Dumont constructed a heavier-than-air aircraft, the ''14-bis''. On 23 October 1906 he flew this to make the first powered heavier-than-air flight to be certified by the Aéro Club de France and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).
In his homeland, Brazil, Santos-Dumont is a national hero, having his name written in Brazilian Hero Panthéon. He is credited in Brazil as the "father of flight".〔Kingstone, Steve (16 December 2003). ("Brazil's 'father of flight'" ). BBC News. Retrieved 23 July 2015.〕 Santos-Dumont occupied the 38th chair of the Brazilian Academy of Letters from 1931 until his death in 1932.
