In 1875, Júlio Cesar Ribeiro de Souza, born in belém, a city located in northern brazil, started some research in aeronautics because he was impressed with the flight of certain native birds of the amazon rain forest. he moved to rio de janeiro, where he published works on air navigation and presented talks on this subject to the instituto politécnico, an engineering faculty. he designed a dirigible, which was christened victória after his wife. after obtaining part of the funding in brazil, the device was constructed in paris. attempts to place the device airborne failed both in france and in brazil. back to his native city he created a workshop to produce hydrogen gas for the machines that he invented. júlio finally succeeded with his dream of pursuing the air navigation with the flight of another dirigible, called cruzeiro, in 1886 in paris. drawing belonging to the patent request for the dirigible victória designed by júlio cesar de souza (1881). source: brazilian national archives another brazilian, Severo Augusto de Albuquerque Maranhão, born in macaíba, rio grande do norte state in the northeast of brazil, designed and flew the dirigible bartolomeu de gusmão in rio de janeiro in 1894. he also developed and constructed a second machine, the pax. two four-cylinder buchet engines with 16 and 24 hp powered the pax. two pusher propellers set at 50 rpm drove the aircraft. the forward and aft propeller diameters were 5 and 6m, respectively. in addition, two other propellers were placed normal to the machine's longitudinal axis for lateral control, only. a further propeller was placed below the deck and was employed to control the pitch movement of the 30-m-long aircraft. maranhão had some insights in designing the pax, which were not taken into account by his predecessors. one of them was the placement of the traction line coincident with the drag one to better control and handling of the aircraft. however, he unfortunately died during his flight on the pax in mai 12th, 1902 in paris. dirigible bartolomeu de gusmao in rio de janeiro, 1894. source: museé de l’air, france. the dirigible pax designed by severo maranhão was constructed in paris. source: museé de l’air, france. The aviation also changed after the Brazilian Alberto Santos Dumont. Alberto Santos Dumont was born on July 20th, 1873, in the village of Cabangu, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. At the age of 18, his father sent Santos Dumont to Paris where he devoted his time to the studies of chemistry, physics, astronomy and mechanics. He had a dream and an objective: to fly. In 1898, Santos-Dumont went up in his first balloon. It was round and unusually small and he called it Brésil (Brazil). However, it was capable of lifting a payload of 114.4 lb, and had in its lower part a wicker basket. His second balloon, "America," had 500 m3 of capacity and gave Santos Dumont the Aero Club of Paris' award for the study of atmospheric currents. Twelve balloons participated in this competition but "America" reached a greater altitude and remained in the air for 22 hours. Between 1898 and 1905 he built and flew 11 dirigibles. Contrary to the prevailing common sense at that time, he employed in his lighter-than-air aircraft piston-powered engines with the lifting-gas hydrogen. He won the Deutsch Prize, which was conceived and granted by the oil tycoon Deustch de la Merthe, when for the first time in the history a dirigible went around the Eiffel tower on October 19th, 1901. This prize amounting 100,000 Francs stipulated a dirigible ride comprised of a flight with takeoff and landing at the Saint-Cloud field with a total duration of 30 minutes, including the going around the Eiffel Tower. In 1904, Santos Dumont came to the United States and was invited to the White House to meet President Theodore Roosevelt, who was very interested in the possible use of dirigibles in naval warfare. The interesting thing is that Santos-Dumont and the Wright brothers never met, even though they had heard of each other's work.

Louis Cartier invented the wristwatch for his famous friend, Alberto Santos Dumont, in March of 1904. They had met and become good friends in 1900. Santos Dumont's Deustch Prize conquest was celebrated at Maxim's that evening, and at some point Santos Dumont complained to Cartier about the difficulty of checking his pocket watch to time his performance. He wanted his friend to come up with an alternative that would permit him to keep both hands on the controls. Louis Cartier went to work on the idea and the result was a watch with a leather band and a small buckle, to be worn on the wrist. Santos-Dumont never took off again without his personal Cartier wristwatch.
