René-Levasseur Island
René-Levasseur Island is a large island in the centre of Lake Manicouagan in Quebec, Canada. Its highest peak is Mount Babel, at 952 m (3,123 feet), which is contained in the Louis-Babel Ecological Reserve. With a total area of 2,020 km2 (and a diameter of 50.7 km), the island is larger in area than the annular lake in which it is situated. René-Levasseur Island is the world's second largest lake island (the largest is Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron). The geological structure was formed by the impact of a meteorite 214 million years ago. The meteorite is believed to have been about 5 km in diameter, and would have hit Earth at a speed of 17 km/s, the fifth most powerful known impact that Earth has seen. The impact of the meteorite formed a crater roughly 100 km in diameter, the centre of which forms the island known today. It became an artificial island when the Manicouagan reservoir was flooded in 1970, merging two crescent-shaped lakes: Mouch ...

6170 Levasseur
6170 Levasseur, provisional designation ', is a stony Phocaean asteroid and sizable Mars-crosser on an eccentric orbit from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately in diameter. It was discovered on 5 April 1981, by American astronomer Edward Bowell at the Anderson Mesa Station in Arizona. The S-type asteroid has a short rotation period of 2.65 hours. It was named for French planetary scientist . Orbit and classification ''Levasseur'' is a member of the Mars-crossing asteroids, a dynamically unstable group between the main belt and the near-Earth populations, crossing the orbit of Mars at 1.66 AU. The asteroid has also been identified as a member of the Phocaea family () – an old, stony main-belt family with nearly 2000 known members – when applying the HCM algorithms to its proper orbital elements. It orbits the Sun in the inner asteroid belt at a distance of 1.6–3.1 AU once every 3 years and 7 months (1,317 days; semi-major axis of 2.35 ...

Pierre Levasseur (aircraft Builder)
Pierre Georges Albert Levasseur (July 16, 1890 in Paris – August 2, 1941 in Paris) was a French aircraft and component maker. He set up his company ''Société Pierre Levasseur Aéronautique'', always referred to simply as Levasseur in Paris in 1910, beginning by making propellers. In 1913 he began building aircraft designed by others. He then began to design his own, the majority of which were single-engine biplanes for French Naval Aviation. He also ran a flying school, where the chief pilot of his school was François Denhaut (1877–1952), notable for designing the first flying boat. Georges Abrial (1898 – 1970), an early French aerodynamicist, also worked with Levasseur to produce the Levasseur-Abrial A-1. Sociéte Pierre Levasseur Aéronautique Models created included: * Levasseur-Abrial A-1, 1922 glider * Levasseur PL.2, naval biplane torpedo bomber * Levasseur PL.4, carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft * Levasseur PL.5, carrier-based fighter * Levasseur PL.6, 1926 tw ...
