The Brazilian inventor Alberto Santos Dumont created the first aircraft in the world capable of performing a complete flight, including takeoff, landing and stay in the air without the need for a ramp to launch.
Named 14 Bis, the plane was also known in French as 'Oiseau de Proie', which means 'Bird of Prey'. The demonstration of Santos Dumont, considered 'aviation Father', took place on November 12, 1906 in Paris, France.

The feat was accompanied by a multitude of witnesses, including the European press, and had its authenticity certified by the Aero Club of France and the International Aeronautical Federation (FAI), which recognized the flight as the first in history.

With the completion, Brazil has become one of the most famous people in the world during the twentieth century.

Simultaneously with ballooning, Santos Dumont began experimenting with airships. The first was designed N1, 25 meters long and 180 cubic capacity, which was inflated on 18 September 1898. The experiment ended torn before the flight due to a botched maneuver by helpers.
