Lawrence Hargrave (1850–1915) was an Australian aero inventor best known for his experiments with kites.
Hargrave was born in England and moved to New South Wales to join his family in 1865. He worked for five years as an apprentice at the Australasian Steam Navigation Co.[1]
Hargrave was inspired by the work of European and American aero inventors like Octave Chanute and kept up to date with their progress through correspondence and reading. He was opposed to the system of patents on principle and for this reason published all of his work in the Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales.[1]
One of Hargrave's papers (Hargrave, 1895, Papers on aeronautical work) was read by Abbott Lawrence Rotch and used as the basis for a successful kite design.[2]
He became a member of the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain on June 10, 1897.[3]
