Jacob Christian Hansen-Ellehammer (1871–1946) was a Danish watchmaker and inventor who made significant aero inventions.[1]

Built a flying machine in 1904 and ran tests tethered to a mast. Claimed flight of 42 meters, 1.5 meters above the ground, on 12 September 1906. Later developed a helicopter airplane attachment.[2]

Early British patent data has him as a Mechanical Engineer addressed at 119 Istedgade, Copenhagen, Kingdom of Denmark.[3]

We have him addressed at Kochsvej 15, Frederiksberg, Denmark.[4] Interestingly, this is the street address of Hansen-Ellehammer's often collaborator Niels Waltersen Aasen[5], though Copenhagen, rather than Frederiksberg, is in that case given as the city designation.

Ellehammer described his occupation in 1912 as Manufacturer and his address as Istedgade 119, Copenhagen.[6]

We have him filing in collaboration with Niels Waltersen Aasen, with both inventors being located in Denmark.[7]

Ellehammer Espacenet results show a wide range and large volume of patent filings, with a bulk of work in fueling and motors, only tangent to aeronautics, along with a great deal of work farther removed as well, with an increase in internationalist breadth going into the years beyond those upo which we are focused, and with Niels Waltersen Aasen co-factoring sporadically into all of this.
