In the Greek Mythology, Demeter rides in a car drawn by ?ying dragons. And Homer describes the ?ight 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 ?ying mechanical bird.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed study of the dynamics of mechanical flight. The author delves into the historical theories of Newton and Kirchhoff, and the expansion of these theories through modern mathematical research. The book is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental principles that govern the design and operation of aircraft. The study of mechanical flight began with the dreams of early inventors like Leonardo da Vinci, but it wasn't until the 19th Century that the science of aeronautics truly took flight. The author traces the development of aviation technology and the important contributions of pioneers such as the Wright Brothers. The book provides a wealth of practical information for engineers and enthusiasts alike, and its insights into the complex interplay of forces that enable aircraft to conquer gravity will fascinate anyone with an interest in the science of flight.
