100 years after his passing, Clément Ader’s pioneering spirit continues to inspire new generations and the future of aviation.

✈️ 100 years ago, Clément Ader — the brilliant inventor from Muret and visionary pioneer of aviation — passed away.
A bold spirit, he is regarded as one of the very first to launch humanity’s adventure into the skies. 🌍✨

📚 As the new school year begins, his legacy continues to inspire future generations. To symbolize this link between knowledge and innovation, the Lycée Pierre Aragon in Muret has been gifted a monumental mural.

🎨 Created by artist Carole Assié, the artwork pays tribute to the aircraft builders of yesterday and tomorrow, connecting the past to the future of aeronautics.

A beautiful homage to a man whose dreams still fuel those who, like us, are inventing the aviation of the future. 🚀
