Marcel Loridan (4 December 1883 - 1971) was a French pioneer aviator. Loridan was born in 1883 in Paris. On 19 September 1910 he received aviator brevet n° 241. On 8 July 1911, he broke the world altitude record when he reached 3,280 metres in his Farman biplane. The ascent, starting from the Camp de Châlons, took 1 hour and 23 minutes. The previous record was set by Georges Legagneux on 8 December 1910 in Pau, when he reached 3,100 metres in a Blériot plane with a Gnome engine. Other sources claim that the record of Legagneux was only broken on 5 August 1911, by Julien Félix. Soon after his altitude record, Loridan also set new records for longest flights in time and distance and won the Michelin Cup.
