Flying Machines: Practice And Design; Their Principles, Construction And Working (1909) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Flying Machines: Practice and Design is a comprehensive guide to the principles, construction, and working of early aviation technology, written by Kennedy and Rankin in 1909. The book covers a range of topics related to flying machines, including the history of aviation, the principles of aerodynamics, the mechanics of flight, the construction of airplanes, and the design of engines and propellers. The authors provide detailed descriptions of the various components of flying machines, such as wings, rudders, and landing gear, and explain how these parts work together to achieve flight. They also discuss the challenges of piloting and controlling airplanes, as well as the safety considerations involved in aviation. Throughout the book, Kennedy and Rankin provide numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts and technologies involved in early aviation. They also include practical advice for those interested in designing and building their own flying machines, including tips on materials, tools, and techniques. Overall, Flying Machines: Practice and Design is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of aviation technology, as well as for those looking to learn more about the principles and mechanics of flight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Reseña del editor
This has not hitherto been done in such a way as to enable a designer to proceed in a methodical manner. Quite recently, a leading article in a leading journal devoted to flight, discussing aeroplane designs, and coming to the subject of setting about to design a machine, gives the following instructions, and no more :T he only way to commence is to start by guessing, and then follow on by modifying the values chosen until a reasonable agreement is obtained ,a quotation which displays the chaotic state of the art at this date. All new departures in mechanical invention are in this stage at first. Men succeed in making a practicable machine before the principles and numerical values are known. Well, %it was the same with electric dynamos and motors 30 years ago. Machines were made, sold, and worked by designers .working pretty much as directed in the above quotation. QB ut no machine devised by man is incapable of reduction to orderly principles and values, and progress is delayed until this work is done. ,x, In setting out to design any machine, say a steamship, v,, locomotive, or aeroplane, some data is given some values within the bounds of reason and possibility, such as total weight, speed, and purpose for which it is to be used, are cpgiven or assumed.
