EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing design drawing dates back to 1853 and depicts the "Projet d'appareil, pour evaluer approximativement la force des helices, roues ailes applicables e la direction des aérostats," or "Project for Approximately Evaluating the Force of Propellers, Applicable Wings and Direction of Aerostats." The drawing presents an innovative concept for steering an airship using manpower to operate propellers. The design includes both plan and sectional views, revealing the intricate details of this early aeronautical invention. The propellers, or "hélices," are powered by men positioned at the rear of the airship, who would have used their physical strength to turn the propellers and generate lift. The "roues ailes," or winged wheels, are also visible in the drawing, suggesting that this design may have incorporated some form of lift generation through winged propellers. The direction of the aerostats, or buoyant elements, is controlled through a system of rods and pulleys, allowing the pilot to steer the airship by adjusting the angle of the wings. This design represents an early attempt to harness human power for flight and demonstrates the ingenuity and creativity of 19th-century aeronautical engineers. The "Projet d'appareil" is an intriguing glimpse into the history of aviation and the early experiments with man-powered flight. This design, created over 160 years ago, showcases the determination and curiosity of inventors who dared to dream of taking to the skies and paved the way for the advancements in aviation technology that followed.
