Synopsis

Excerpt from The Dynamics of Mechanical Flight: Lectures Delivered at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, March, 1910 and 1911

In the Greek Mythology, Demeter rides in a car drawn by flying dragons. And Homer describes the flight of Hera in her chariot, Iliad V 750; and then there is the legend of Icarus and his father Daedalus who taught his son the Office of a fowl, and yet for all his wings the fool was drowned and another legend Of Archytas of Tarentum, aerias tentasse domos with his invention of a flying mechanical bird.
