Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Flying-Machine From an Engineering Standpoint: A Reprint of the "James Forrest" Lecture, 1914, by Permission of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Including a Discussion Concerning the Theory of Sustentation and the Expenditure of Power in Flight

IN the present volume an endeavour is made to deal with those problems in mechanical flight which come more directly within the purview of the aeronautical constructor. Matters of essentially scientific interest, such as the theory of stability longitudinal, lateral, and rotative (or asymmetric), have been in the main taken for granted that is to say, the results of existing investigations have been assumed as established fact.
