Flying Machines: Practice and Design, Their Principles, Construction and Working (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Flying Machines: Practice and Design, Their Principles, Construction and Working
This small work is offered as a general review of the flying machine problems, and an attempt has been made to lay down the numerical values of the elements of the aeroplane machine's design and construction, and its natural and fundamental principles. This has not hitherto been done in such a way as to enable a designer to proceed in a methodical manner.
