Alberto Santos-Dumont, usually referred to as simply Santos-Dumont, was a Brazilian inventor and aviation pioneer.  

In his early career he designed, built and flew hot air balloons and early dirigibles, culminating in his winning the Deutsch de la Meurthe prize on 19 October 1901 for a flight that rounded the Eiffel Tower.

Santos-Dumont finally succeeded in flying a heavier-than-air aircraft on 23 October 1906, piloting the 14-bis before a large crowd of witnesses at the grounds of Paris.

This was the first flight of a powered heavier-than-air machine in Europe to be certified by the Aéro-Club de France.

Santos-Dumont is a national hero in Brazil.
