French aviator who accomplished a glider flight in december 1856.
Jean Marie Le Bris was a French aviator, born in Concarneau, Brittany, who accomplished a glider flight in December 1856. A sailor and sea captain, Jean Marie Le Bris sailed around the world observing the flight of the Albatross. Although he sailed around the world, his true ambition was to fly. He caught some of the birds and analysed the interaction of their wings with air, identifying the aerodynamic phenomenon of lift, which he called "aspiration". He built a glider, inspired by the shape of the Albatross and named "The artificial Albatross". In 1868, with the support of the French Navy, he built a second flying machine, which he tried in Brest without great success. It was almost identical to his first flying machine, except that it was lighter and had a system to shift weight distribution. His flying machine became the first ever to be photographed, albeit on the ground, by Nadar in 1868.
