*************

Louis Charles Joseph Blériot (/ˈblɛrioʊ/ BLERR-ee-oh,[3][4] also US: /ˈbleɪrioʊ, ˌbleɪriˈoʊ, blɛərˈjoʊ/ BLAY-ree-oh, -⁠OH, blair-YOH,[5][6][7] French: [lwi bleʁjo]; 1 July 1872 – 1 August 1936) was a French aviator, inventor, and engineer. He developed the first practical headlamp for cars and established a profitable business manufacturing them, using much of the money he made to finance his attempts to build a successful aircraft. Blériot was the first to use the combination of hand operated joystick and foot-operated rudder control as used to the present day to operate the aircraft control surfaces.[8] Blériot was also the first to make a working, powered, piloted monoplane.[9] In 1909 he became world-famous for making the first airplane flight across the English Channel,[Note 1] winning the prize of £1,000[Note 2] offered by the Daily Mail newspaper.[10] He was the founder of a successful aircraft manufacturing company.
