This footage from the National Geographic Archives highlights the Society's early role in feats of flight: Alexander Graham Bell, the National Geographic Society’s second president and a member of its board of trustees, experimented with aerial locomotion. With aviation pioneer F.W. Baldwin, he developed a high-speed boat using hydroplane technology. The boats, or “hydrodromes” as they called them, achieved a top speed of 70 miles per hour, becoming the fastest boats in the world at that time. • WHO WE ARE • The National Geographic Society is an impact-driven global nonprofit organization that pushes the boundaries of exploration, furthering understanding of our world and empowering us all to generate solutions for a healthy, more sustainable future for generations to come.
