Synopsis

Excerpt from Aerodonetics: Constituting the Second Volume of a Complete Work on Aerial Flight

In conducting the investigations and otherwise in collecting and arranging the matter included in the two volumes now completed, the author has made an effort to do, in as thorough a manner as possible, that preparatory work which, in his opinion, should properly precede the serious and hitherto hazardous undertaking of full-scale experiment. It is in other words the author's intention to provide such foundation theory and data as to bring the problem of mechanical flight into the legitimate domain of the engineer, and to obviate in the future all need for empiricism.
