Synopsis

Excerpt from The Aeroplane: An Elementary Text-Book of the Principles of Dynamic Flight

So swiftly has dynamic flight become practicable and important that those who would make it their study are at a loss for instructors. A new branch of engineering science has appeared; a new and important industry is arising; and there is a steadily-increasing demand for a concise and accurate collation of the knowledge which has al ready been acquired.

The purpose of the present work is to provide a complete text-book of the elements of dynamic flight, and to set out in simple language the laws governing aviation. Moreover, bearing in mind the coming requirements of education, the authors have endeavoured to produce a book suitable for schools and colleges as well as for the student and the general reader.

Except for the opening chapter, the divisions are purely arbitrary. The factors involved in a consideration of the science and its practice are so interdependent and bound up one with another, that a certain amount of repetition is unavoidable and indeed, for the sake of clearness, essential.
