Clement Ader's Éole takes an imaginary flight with an Airbus Industrie A340. Éole is believed to be the first French heavier- than-air manned aircraft to take off from ground level under its own power. Today, final assembly for the Airbus is carried out at the Clement Ader plant (named for the aviation pioneer) in Toulouse, France. The Airbus A340 uses Cordant/Huck technology and fasteners. Artist's Note: The caption reflects the 1993 timeframe.
