Is this Europe in Brazil? Discovering Petrópolis Imperial City 🇧🇷

We went on a daytrip from Rio de Janeiro to Petropolis, Brazil's imperial city.
We loved the charming city, and learned a lot about the Royal family and its Portuguese history.
The city reminded us of being in Europe (but with palm trees!!)

Hi! I’m a brazilian pilot myself, and about the controversy, I am just going to drop this here: The American FAA (Federal Aviation Admnistration) itself categorizes an “heavier-than-air” airplane as a machine capable of taking-off unassisted, among other requirements. This information is on their website. This means the American aviation authorites themselves does not recognize the Wright flyer as the first ever airplane, but this information is very underlooked by everyone there. Thing is: Brazil and most european countries recognize the 14-bis as the first ever airplane. We just don’t have all that media strength that USA have to show this to the rest of the world. 😆

[@josuecarvalho3919]

Also, there is very little evidence of the wright brothers flight actually happening in 1903

Yeah, the more power you have the easier it gets to make your version of the history the truth. USA named the landing point of their last rover on Mars after the Wright Brothers, so they keep sharing this truth everywhere even on Mars.

[@MarkHobbes]

If you guys want more deep information regarding this topic I recommend the video 'Who invented the Airplane? The True Story on the Wright Brothers and Santos Dumont' by Marcos Palhares, subtitles are available for non-English speakers.

[@riquiqui]

essa historia dos irmãos wright é muito estranha, eles so apareceram depois q o 14-bis ja tinha voado, falando q tinham feito isso antes, mas q tinham mantido em segredo pra ninguém roubar o plano deles, serio q os americanos acreditam msm nisso? ta n cara q é mentira

[@andrenicodemus]

My beautiful hometown! About the Santos Dumont X Wright brothers controversy, the main point is that the Wright brothers flew their machine a few years prior to Santos Dumont, but the 14-bis was the first machine to take-off by its own means. Also, Santos Dumont achieved his feat in front of a crowd in Paris and his flight was ratified by the International Aeronautical Federation. He is certainly a source of pride for us Brazilians!

[@alaneric123]

Exactly, its not really a date matter - the big thing is what actually constitutes flying a plane. The Wright Brothers catapulted their plane and flew for some seconds, but if this constitutes flying, then the first guy to put four wheels in a basket and go down a hill invented the car

[@wallacesantos0]

But also as a counter point, the model of the follow airplanes was made using the brothers' model. So although Santos Dumont can be considered "pai da aviação", the Wright brothers aircraft are the real ancestor to the modern aircraft.

[@wj242]

Esqueceram o seguinte; Na america não existia motor leve. O que alegaram usar e depois trocaram, nunca funcionou na réplica os americanos tentaram. A réplica do 14 bis voa até hoje. Planador já existia.

The difference is that Santos Dumont's plane left the ground with the plane's own gasoline engine and the whight brothers' plane left the ground by means of a catapult. Santos Dumont also invented the wristwatch

[@GabeAlbuquerque]

Actually Dumont didn't invented wristwatch. Queen Victoria and many other womans from the High Society had one before Dumont created his model. The first wristwatch was created by Breguet in 1810 as a gift to the Queen of Naples. What Dumont did was create a model of wristwatch that could be used by aviators. The models before him used a metal bracelet instead the well known leather strip.

[@paulimriss]

Wright Brothers didn't build a modern airplane, they just builded a gigantic paperplane and launched it with a big slingshot. Santos-Dumont build the airplane capable of set flight and land by his own as many times he wanted

[@RicardoStumpf]

Exactly. It all depends on the definition of an airplane.

[@armadoelibertario9238]

Everything can become an airplane if you slingshot it, even a rock. That's very different of having a fully independent system that can fly by its own. Sorry, Wright brothers, you tried.

[@dannieldf]

@Rodgroi não entendi seu riso mas tudo bem. Também não entendi o que tem a ver o fato de ter sido mais importante. Ouro Preto é uma cidade linda e histórica, mas carregada pelo seu passado de escravidão que está presente em quase todos os aspectos da cidade, e com uma economia que vive de memórias de um passado próspero, então tem um ar de melancolia na cidade. Pirenópolis é uma cidade menor, menos relevante na história do Brasil, mas invadida pelo espírito alternativo, com lojas hippies, com economia vibrante e leva ao contato com a natureza nas várias trilhas e cachoeiras. Não estou aqui para lacrar nem debater sobre as duas cidades e sim para trazer uma visão para quem estiver lendo sobre novas opções, já que muito se fala de Ouro Preto e pouco de Pirenópolis.

He never owned slaves and committed suicide when in an air raid he discovered that he could have created a weapon and not given wings to men.

Os irmãos Wrigth voaram antes, porém seu avião necessitava de uma catapulta para alçar voo, para sair do chão. Já o avião do Santos Dumont se elevava do solo por meios próprios. Daí que na Europa, especialmente na França, o Santos Dumont é reconhecido pelo invento do avião, e não os Wright.

Exato. O avião deles era muito melhor. Isso tem que ser reconhecido. Voava por kms, fazia manobras no ar, enfim… era excelente. Só que não decolava por conta própria até 1906, e o Flyer decolou por conta própria depois do Dumont. Nos brasileiros podemos ter o orgulho do Dumont de fato ter decolado por conta própria antes, porém, devemos reconhecer também que o Flyer dos Wright Brothers era uma aeronave muito melhor que o 14-Bis.

[@Antoniocastagnoli]

@@israelportela cuidado com fake News. Apesar do Dumont ter decolado por conta própria antes, o flyer de 1904 (pelo menos) dos Wright brothers era uma aeronave muito melhor no ar. Chegava a voar 40 milhas (cerca de 65 kms), fazia manobras no ar, voava super alto, enfim… era um excelente avião. Só precisava de uma força extra pra decolar. Me diga se uma pedra faz manobras no ar ou voa 65 kms? Não era estilingue, mas a única coisa que o nosso Santos Dumont ganhou foi em fazer decolar sozinho.

When I was getting my Aviation degree in Sao Paulo I learned that the first airplane was invented by Santos Dumont because the definition of an airplane says that it must fly and navigates in the air by itself. 14bBis was the first airplane that did that.. The airplane developed by the Right Brothers did not fly by itself, or neither navigates. it was catapulted like a rock. so it cant be considered an airplane. I've been to Santos Dumont's house and it is fascinating.

[@flavioc5389]

11:03 The Wright Brothers "flew" in 1903, Santos Dumont flew in 1906. The reason I put "flew" under quotations is because "The Flyer" was not able to take off without an external power, whereas the "14 Bis" was able to take off and sustain flight by its own means. If the Americans consider the ability to generate lift during take off (and propulsion) just a "mere detail", so then neither the Wright Brothers nor Santos Dumont were the inventors of the airplane. In 1899 Otto Lilienthal strapped a wing on his back, jumped of a cliff, and was able to sustain flight. Therefore, if taking off by its own means is not important for inventing the airplane, then Lilienthal is the one. On the other hand, if we look at an airplane regardless of age, it doesn't look like "The Flyer" or the "14 Bis", but looks strikingly similar to the Demoiselle, Santos Dumont second flying machine. FUN FACT: in 2003 The University of Washigton constructed a replica of the "Flyer", using new materials, a powerful modern engine, and not only was not able to sustain flight but also suffered an accident while trying to do so! "14 Bis" replicas have been flying around just ok. Anyway, this last fact and a look at the Demoiselle is reason enough to name Santos Dumont the inventor of the airplane. (PS: I'm an engineer who happen to have studied this specific piece of history).

[@RicardoStumpf]

And Santos Dumond made Deimoselle’s project open source, a feat that advanced aircraft industry in the world. That led to the advancement of aircraft warfare and its widespread use during WWI, something that made Dumont regretful at some level of his invention.

[@Pixelarter]

Also the 14 Bis flight was the first openly held in front of a crowd and testified by the Aéro-Club de France, being the first officially recognized airplane distance record, that awarded Dumont with the first of the aviation prizes, 3,000 francs for a flight of 25 m (82 ft) or more. The Wright Brothers later claimed they flied their plane first, hidden from the public. They supposedly presented enough proof of flight, but it's based more on eye witnesses recount than material evidence. Later replicas failed to fly properly though. In my view they were later recognized as the "inventors" of the airplane mostly for political reasons, although no one can fully claim to have invented the airplane, as it was more a series of collective improvements that led to the airplane.

One of Santos Dumont's inventions: the Wristwatch, to control time in his flight tests (13m55s of the video). Until 1902 all watches were pocket watches.

[@luizamorim1626]

Steve's account of D. João VI fleeing from Napoleon's murderous wrath, his son Pedro's independence declaration and Pedro II actually becoming emperor himself is pretty good. Congratulations! I'd say most Brazilians don't have this information as clear as you have.

STEVE / IVANA - Thats the reason why EMBRAER Jets are produced in Brazil - The Best Jets in the World - Every Airline in the US depend on these jets for many years now! FYI

[@flaviobolado19]

Só a título informativo, Desde 2018, Petrópolis faz parte da região metropolitana do Rio.

[@JohnUsp]

Awesome. I also love Petropolis. If I knew you are going there, there is a famous KZbinr that makes tandem paragliding and paramotor flights, you could enjoy it flying through the city.

[@ariadnenunes8753]

Não, falo inglês, porém o Santos Dumont, foi sim o inventor do Avião e relógio de pulso. Os irmãos sei lá americanos, fez, só que não levantou voou...então...🤷‍♀️🙆‍♀️🧏‍♀️😇🤝🇧🇷

[@osmirpereira]

Verdade, porém o poder de convencimento dos EUA é maior e para a maioria dos países do mundo não reconhecem Santos Dumont como inventor e sim como pai da aviação por ter iniciado experiências com balão e aviação, mas não como inventor do avião.

[@marioardma2778]

Os irmãos Wright parece q saltavam de um penhasco. Santos Dumont fez o avião sair do chão. Os dois inventaram o avião só q o 14 Bis foi o primeiro a sair do chão. Acho q é isso

[@osmirpereira]

@@marioardma2778 na verdade os irmãos Wright são reconhecidos como inventores do avião na maioria dos países, não pela descolagem com ajuda de catapulta, mas sim por mantê-lo por mais tempo no ar e com maior distância percorrida, na época pouco importava o jeito da descolagem.

If you like historical building you have to visit Ouro Preto in MInas Gerais, it's a 2 hour bus from Belo Horizonte, the state capital.

[@talitafranco7230]

We all do school trips to Petrópolis!! Everyone that lives closer went there!

Amazing, I'm Brazilian learning about Petropolis with you guys. You are very cool!

[@bruno20jf]

Hi guys, I'm from São Paulo, but on your next trip you need to discover the state of Minas Gerais and its historical cities, monuments and cuisine of the Minas state, in my opinion, it's the best of all Brazil.

Hello beautiful friends Ivana and Steve🤗❤️

[@leilamemet1587]

Alberto Santos-Dumont was one of the pioneers of aeronautics. He was born, raised and died in Brazil. His contributions to aeronautics stem from his time living in Paris, France. Santos-Dumont designed, built and tested the first dirigible balloon.

[@brulugo34]

How cool is your video, but if you liked Petrópolis, I suggest you get to know the state of Minas Gerais, which has several historical cities with typical Portuguese colonial architecture. There are several baroque churches that are really impressive, apart from the fact that it has the best food in the whole Brazil and many natural beauties because it has several national parks with thousands of waterfalls and mountains.

[@desativadodesativado6311]

MTA coisa depende do gosto pessoal, exemplo é a comida que pra mim a nordestina é melhor e no RJ tem uma cidade como as de minas que é Paraty e ainda além de cachoeiras cachaças tem praias paradisíacas

[@hiedao.7847]

A lot of cities in Brazil look like places in Europe because We were colonized by the Portugues and the buildin style is the same, if You go to Portugal places like Petropolis, Paraty, Ouro Preto, Mariana Tiradentes are all towns located in Brazil which could be in any location of Portugal.

Hello friends and I'll write a Cartier' story. I watched your video about Santos Dumont and you showed an incredible photo but you didn't talk about another unique story. Mr. Dumont lived in Paris and a close friend named Mr. Cartier made a wristwatch to replace the pocket watch hitherto used by everyone. So because of him we have airplanes with engines and wristwatches.

[@lecirdaluz]

Well! In one of my trips to Paris, there was an expo of aviation history! The French also seem to think that Santos Dumont (don't pronounce the “T” at the end of Dumont - like Mont Real in French) was the first to fly a “self propelled, heavier than air aircraft. The Wright brothers catapulted their “whatever that thing was ”., plus Santos Dumont had hundred of folks witnessing that feat. In the US, the brothers had NO witnesses,from what I understand. Hope you can visit Teresópolis, Cabo frio. Brigit Bardot loved Búzios, just north of Rio, as well. She always came down to Búzios, whenever she wanted peace and quiet. Too bad Alain Delon did not do the same
