Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aeroplane Construction and Assembly An aeroplane is designed to withstand the strains put upon it by the work which it is called upon to do. It is a machine of accurate yet delicate construction and great care must be taken that no undue strains are put upon it. An aeroplane rigger must necessarily have a fine conception of where any heavy strains may be placed upon it without causing distortion or breakages to its structural parts. To the average layman, an aeroplane is a solid mechanical structure, and he has no preference in lifting any part of it, other than that of convenience. Some machines are marked with ar rows denoting the points at which loads may be applied, but it is necessary for any aeroplane rigger to have a thorough knowledge of all these points and the reasons why loads may be applied at same. Frequently the machines have no load marks whatever and the aviation mechanic must naturally use his own judgment. In climbing into the passenger's or pilot's seat, care must be taken not to place any weight on the trailing edge or unsupported fabric of the plane. There is a reenforced section called the sidewalk on the wing next to the fuselage generally covered with corrugated rubber, upon which the weight may be placed. There is also a step in the side of the fuselage. In turning a machine around by hand, it is necessary to lift the tail post off the ground. In doing this, care must be taken to apply the lift under the load points. These points are the inter section points of the fuselage struts with the longerons and If not marked their positions must be determined before an attempt is made to raise the tail.

Download or read book Airplane Design and Construction Classic Reprint written by Ottorino Pomilio and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Airplane Design and Construction By far the major part of experimental work in aero dynamics has been conducted in Europe rather than in America, where the feat of flying in a heavier than air ma chine was first accomplished. This book presents in greater detail than has hitherto been attempted in this country the application of aerodynamic research conducted abroad to practical airplane design. The airplane industry is now shifting from the design and construction of military types of craft to that of pleasure and commercial types. The publication of this book at this time is, therefore, opportune, and it should go far toward replacing by scientific procedure many of the cut and try methods now used. Employment of the data presented should enable designers to save both time and expense. The arrangement, presentation of subject matter, and explanation of the derivation of working formulae, together with the assumptions upon which they are based, and consequently their limitations, are such that the book lends itself to use as a text in technical schools and colleges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building and Flying an Aeroplane, Vol. 1: Instruction Paper One of the commonest phases of interest in aviation is the desire to build a flying machine. In fact, this is very frequently the first thing the experimenter undertakes after having gone into the theory of flight to some extent. Only too often, no effort whatever is made to get beyond theory and the machine is an experiment in every sense of the word. An experience of this nature is costly - far more so than is agreeable for the student, and is likely to result in disgusting him with aviation generally. There are hundreds of schemes and principles in the art that have been tried again and again with the same dismal failure in the end. Refer to the story of the Wright Brothers and note how many things they mention having tried and rejected as worse than useless. About once in so often someone "rediscovers" some of these things and, having no facilities for properly investigating what patent attorneys term the "prior art" (everything that has gone before, from the beginning of invention, or at least patented invention) becomes possessed of the idea that he has hit upon something entirely novel and wholly original. There is no desire in the present work to discourage the seeker after new principles - undoubtedly there are many yet to be discovered. The art of flight is in its infancy and there is still a great deal to be learned about it, but there is no more discouraged inventor than he who discovers a principle and, after having experimented with it at great expense, finds that it is only one of many things that numerous others have spent considerable money in proving fallacious, a great many years ago. If it be your ambition to build a flying machine and you believe that you have discovered something new of value, it will be to your interest to retain a responsible patent attorney to advise you as to the prior art, before expending any money on its construction. You will find it very much more economical in the end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building and Flying an Aeroplane: A Practical Handbook Covering the Design, Construction, and Operation of Aeroplanes and Gliders But in this ease of accomplishment lies a danger, namely, the belittling of the value of accurate design and the misjudging of the true importance of small things. The inventive mind usually believes itself capable of making improvements in almost anything, and the aeroplane inventor is no exception to the rule. Filled with the confidence born of ignorance, and with only the knowledge he has gleaned from newspaper and magazine accounts of the popular types of machines, he works out a brand new design. The usual, in fact, the invariable result is failure, discouragement, and a loss of time and money. How much more sensible for the young inventor to build his first machine without varying in one particular from a tried and proved model, leaving his ights of inventive fancy to his later years of maturer knowledge and judgment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flying Machines: Construction and Operation; A Practical Book Which Shows, in Illustrations, Working Plans and d104, How to Build and Navigate the Modern Airship In the stating of a technical proposition so it may be clearly understood by people not versed in technical mat ters it becomes absolutely necessary to use language much different from that which an expert would employ, and this has been done in this volume. No man of ordinary intelligence can read this book without obtaining a clear, comprehensive knowledge of flying machine construction and operation. He will learn, not only how to build, equip, and manipulate an aeroplane in actual flight, but will also gain a thorough understanding of the principle upon which the suspension in the air of an object much heavier than the air is made possible.
