Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experiments in Aerodynamics I have to thank the board of direction of the Bache fund of the National Academy of Sciences for their aid, and also the trustees of the Western Uni versity of Pennsylvania for their permission to use the means of the observatory under their charge in contributing to the same end, and I desire to acknowledge especially the constant and valued help of Mr. Frank W. Very, who has assisted me in all these experiments, and my further obligation to Mr. George E. Curtis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Applied Aerodynamics Tna work aima at the extraction of principles of flight from, and the illustration of the use of, detailed information on aeronautics now available from many sources; notably the publications of the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. The main outlines of the theory of flight are simple, but the stage of application now reached necessitates careful examination of secondary features. This book is cast with this distinction in View and starts with a description of the various classes of aircraft, both heavier and lighter than air, and then proceeds to develop the laws of steady flight on elementary principles. Later chapters complete the detail as known at the present time and cover predictions and analyses of performance, aeroplane acrobatics, and the general problems of control and stability. The subject of aerodynamics is almost wholly based on experiment, and methods are described of obtaining basic information from tests on aircraft in flight or from tests in a wind channel on models of aircraft and aircraft parts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Aerodynamics and the Theory of the Aeroplane, Vol. 1: A Resume of the Principles Evolved, by Past Experiments Knowledge, I find numerous applicants asking for copies of what has appeared, and craving for further information. I think, therefore, that it may be of some assistance to those now working on the subject to bring out the first portion as a complete (if small) volume, and, following the good example of Mr. Lanchester, leave the second part to be published at some future time when I am able to complete it. This second part will deal with such matters as the behaviour of models in the air; details of actual flying machines; propellers; and natural bird flight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aerodynamics: Constituting the First Volume of a Complete Work on Aerial Flight The problems that arise in connection with the study of Aerial Flight are so numerous and of so diverse a character that, except for their relation to the title subject, they would scarcely find place in one volume. In the present work an attempt is made, it is believed for the first time, to treat the classification of the phenomena associated withthe study of Flight on a comprehensive and scientific basis, The origin of the present work may be said to date from some experiments carried out in the year 1894. These experiments, which were primarily directed as a test of certain theoretical views which the author then advanced, resulted In the production Of flying models of remarkable stability, whose equilibrium was not destroyed by an ordinary gale of wind. As originally formulated the theory was incomplete and in many ways imperfect, but it has been developed from time to time during the last twelve years to an extent that to-day renders the approximately correct proportioning of an aerodrome1 a matter of straightforward calculation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aeronautical Annual, 1895: Devoted to the Encouragement of Experiment With Aerial Machines, and to the Advancement of the Science of Aerodynamics The story which tells of the sad fate of Icarus is but one of many which may be found in the pages of antiquity showing that from time immemorial man has longed to fly. Yet, these tales are but traditions, and, search as we may, no written records of the study of the great problem of flight are to be found until we come to the manuscripts of Leonardo da Vinci, who died three hundred and seventy-five years ago. Within the limits of these pages it is only possible to give a few fragments concerning the life and works of this great man. He was born in 1452, at the Castle Vinci, which is situated in the vale of the Arno, midway between Pisa and Florence.

This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments and Observations on Different Kinds of Air by Joseph Priestley One reason for the present publication has been the favourable reception of those of my Observations on different kinds of air, which were published in the Philosophical Transactions for the year 1772, and the demand for them by persons who did not chuse, for the sake of those papers only, to purchase the whole volume in which they were contained. Another motive was the additions to my observations on this subject, in consequence of which my papers grew too large for such a publication as the Philosophical Transactions. Contrary, therefore, to my intention, expressed Philosophical Transactions, vol. 64. p. 90, but with the approbation of the President, and of my friends in the society, I have determined to send them no more papers for the present on this subject, but to make a separate and immediate publication of all that I have done with respect to it. Besides, considering the attention which, I am informed, is now given to this subject by philosophers in all parts of Europe, and the rapid progress that has already been made, and may be expected to be made in this branch of knowledge, all unnecessary delays in the publication of experiments relating to it are peculiarly unjustifiable. When, for the sake of a little more reputation, men can keep brooding over a new fact, in the discovery of which they might, possibly, have very little real merit, till they think they can astonish the world with a system as complete as it is new, and give mankind a prodigious idea of their judgment and penetration; they are justly punished for their ingratitude to the fountain of all knowledge, and for their want of a genuine love of science and of mankind, in finding their boasted discoveries anticipated, and the field of honest fame pre-occupied, by men, who, from a natural ardour of mind, engage in philosophical pursuits, and with an ingenuous simplicity immediately communicate to others whatever occurs to them in their inquiries. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
