The Santos-Dumont No. 6, an airship designed and built by the Brazilian pioneer aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, holds historical significance. In 1901, Santos-Dumont piloted this aircraft to victory in the Deutsch de la Meurthe prize by completing a round trip flight from Parc Saint Cloud to the Eiffel Tower within thirty minutes.
