Octave Chanute

Octave Chanute (Parigi, 18 febbraio 1832 – Chicago, 23 novembre 1910) è stato un ingegnere e pioniere dell'aviazione francese naturalizzato statunitense. Andato in pensione nel 1890 dopo una lunga e brillante carriera da ingegnere civile, iniziò a dedicarsi a studi e realizzazioni pratiche nel campo dell'aviazione e a raccogliere e pubblicare informazioni sullo stato delle conoscenze disponibili all'epoca sul tema. Fu un importante punto di riferimento per tutti gli sperimentatori che studiarono il problema del volo intorno agli anni novanta del XIX secolo, ed è ricordato principalmente per i suoi voli in aliante del 1896 (in collaborazione con Augustus Herring) oltre che per la sua fruttuosa collaborazione con i fratelli Wright.
