Image title

The English inventor Cocking had invented a sort of parachute conceived in reverse of an ordinary parachute: it had the shape of a reverse cone - On 27 Sept. 1836 Cocking carried out his experience with the English aeronaut Green, who, convinced of the correctness of the inventor's reasoning, did not hesitate to remove the attachment to the nacelle of his balloon. both rose from Vauxhall to London, and climbed to an altitude of 1,200 metres - At this height Green cut the rope that connected the Cocking balloon and its aircraft - The parachute returns to precipita in the air with a destitute speed - His ill-calculated surface deformed, and the unfortunate aviator was startled to the Soil with ever increasing rapidity - Cocking was crushed by shock, and his body was raised to shattered - Engraving illustrating Gaston Tissandier's book “La navigation aerienne””” in the collection “Bibliotheque des merveilles””” of Editions Hachette, 1886 -
