Excerpt from The Problem of Flight: A Text-Book of Aerial Engineering

IN view of the fact that we now appear to be on the verge of a practical solution to this classic problem of ﬂight, I beg to submit to the engineering profession an epitome of the knowledge at present available on the subject. In the mathematical considera tion I have adopted the principle, well established in engineering practice, of omitting those factors which appear to be unimportant. The formulae are therefore engineering formulae in the strict sense of the word, i.e. They are not the result of a deep mathematical analysis which it is, in the majority of cases, almost impossible to apply.

I sincerely h0pe that the rules, in conjunction 'with practical experiments, will prove useful, both before and after the new and more fortunate Icarus has ﬂown from London to Manchester.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
