High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Ader Eole, also called Avion, was an early steam-powered aircraft. The Eole was named after the Greco-Roman wind god Aeolos. It was developed by Clement Ader in 1890. Unlike many early flying machines, the Eole did not attempt to fly by flapping its wings, but was to rely on the lift generated by its wings (mechanical copies of bat wings). Its steam engine was an unusually light weight design and drove a propeller at the front of the aircraft. The machine lacked means for the pilot to control the direction of flight.
