I must admit: although I have never piloted an aircraft (I rode with my parents in their Cessna as a child), I think of the Demoiselle as the epitome of an ultralight, and it fills me with desire.
Wasn't the Demoiselle a wing warper? It probably wouldn't be a good idea to make a wing warper out of aluminium... and a bit unsafe even to do it as Santos Dumont did it, out of wood and canvas, so good choice!
PS, @ 9:31....; Alberto Santos Dumont's Dirigible Airships were NOT "Hot-Air Balloons", as stated. They were HYDROGEN-filled "Blimps"(ie, "Balloon-Limp"), with a Gasbag having no internal structure to shape it, anchored to a Keel-Girder underneath mounting the Engine and controls ; the aerodynamic "Cigar-Shape" of the Envelope being maintained by Gas-Pressure. It is a matter of historical fact that because Fore-Aft Trim was effected by Santos-Dumont scuttling back & forth along the Keel-Girder to raise & lower the Nose, while simultaneously keep track of the Engine Run-Time, but being unable to read a fixed Timepiece mounted in any one place on the Girder, and too busy to be able to pull a Pocket-Watch from his pocket.... When Santos-Dumont took his Silver Fob-Watch to Cartiers' Jewellers in Paris and had it fitted with 2 Lugs through which a Leather Strap could be used to buckle it onto his Wrist..., he lirerally INVENTED the Wristlet-Watch ; which thus began it's Earthly Existance as an Instrument for Aerial Navigation, and an "obligatory" accoutrement for Aviators ever after, to the point where even today many Pilots are instantly identifiable at a distance in a Crowd - by the sheer size and complexity of the ostentatious Watches they like to affect. Cards on the table, when I was 16 my parents gave me a Seiko Automatic Chronograph with Tachymeter & Stopwatch & internal Bezel..., and by the end of the next year I'd aquired a tiny little Aeroplane to take me and the Great Big Watch flying...; and, last year my kids presented me with a Seiko Solar Chronograph with Stopwatch, Tachymeter, and Alarm rather than a Bezel.... So, despite my knowing the history of the invention of the Aeronautical Wristlet Watch..., I too am still clearly a practising disciple of the "Cult" which Santos Dumont initiated. Just(ifiably ?) sayin', Have a good one... ;-p Ciao !
You are 100% correct. Santos's blimps were filled with hydrogen, i was nervous and made a couple other mistakes also, hope you understand. Also you made another comment that they need wing warping. These are the 24's; the 23bis from AV2015 had wing warping, if you search for it there are several videos out there on that one also...
The Aero Club de France, the Federation, Aeronautique Internatioinale, and the French Government all certified the Wrights as having flown in 1903. The December 1905 and January 1906 issues of L'Aerophile documented the Wrights' successful flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina and Dayton, Ohio. In point of fact, it was L'Aerophile's reportage of the Wrights that motivated Santos Dumont to cease experimentation with lighter-than-air aircraft and instead concentrate on heavier-than-air aircraft.
Sources? At the time, a lot of people on Europe was researching about heavier than air aircraft and even Dumount autobiography says that the European public only started to care about the Wrights after they started to fly in Europe - when Dumount was already flying his Demoiselle.
The original Desmoiselle No. 20 was the only successful plane invented by Santos Dumont because he used a Wright style propeller and a Wright style wing warping. It only flew because santos dumont stole ideas from the Wright brothers.
Hey Jindle, I don't think "stole" is the right word. Propeller and warping aside, the Demoiselle is mostly Dumont's original design. Taking elements from fellow aviators is something that happened very frequently at the time, and were it not for that the industry would've been stagnant. Dumont also never claimed to have invented wing-warping or the Wright's propeller. I think "borrowed" is a much better word.
Sources man? If he "stole" from the Brothers, why they didn't sued him and half of the Europe? Suing was the only thing that the Brothers knew to do... And anyway, the Demoiselle project started way before the Wright Brothers public presentation in Europe and Dumont plane was copied across the continent, due his public domain.
Wonder if there's any original footage of Dumont flying with this plane in Paris? This plane could fly pretty well and he flew long distances with it. Imagine seeing this in the 1800's, it must've been jaw dropping

Here in Brazil, Alberto Santos Dumont is considered a national hero! Thanks for this video.
He was french though, and the planes were invented in France. Airplane is a french invention!
As well he should be, along with Hector Villalobos, who was a great composer, as good as any of his time.

Congratulations! Beautiful rendition of the Demoiselle project. There could be no better tribute to Alberto Santos Dumont !

What a great guy and wonderful plane. Thanks for making this video.
I'm pretty sure that Santos Dumont would participate your club.
(Thanks for enjoying our Santos Dumont Demoiselle and doing a look-a-like plane!)
Good ultralight design.
I must admit: although I have never piloted an aircraft (I rode with my parents in their Cessna as a child), I think of the Demoiselle as the epitome of an ultralight, and it fills me with desire.
Very very cool.....great project.
What fun! A nice reminder that this stuff doesn't always have to be rocket science.
I like the ailerons. Will think about putting them on my Easy-riser before I recover and repower it.
I love everything but the tail . Beautiful ultraplane.
Be-uteefull...lovely soulful bird....great guys...dig the history and present

Just goes to show old school blended with modern materials along with some mild reengineering and viola!
Nice craftsmanship, good to see a new ultralight design.
But it is 100 years old.... Not new lol
1907*
Demoisele from Santos Dumont.
Bravo!
Wright brothers with catapult until stone flies.Alberto Santos Dumont aviation father
and it looks like you need a better axle for the gear, those wheels like like they're good for 1/30 G force landings !
The windage on those microphones must be huge. Just kidding, Awsome plane.
Cadê o paulin do celta cromado pra elogiar o vídeo em inglês
Eu queria ver o avião dos irmãos estadunidenses levantar voo assim , sem ventania e sem catapulta , isso é que eu queria ver .
Tu, y yo tambien!
Voaria muito bem
Isso nunca irá acontecer com o flyers de 1903, pesado e pouca potencia!
O 14 bis do Santos Dumont voa tem porrada de vídeos no TH-cam!
G'day,
It really needs Wing-Warping to look "right".
