Download or read book THEORY OF FLIGHT CLASSIC REPR written by Richard Von Mises and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-04 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory of Flight Thirty years ago, in the summer of 1913, the author gave for the first time a university course on the mechanics of airplane ight. On the basis of these lectures and similar ones in the following years there developed a small elementary textbook Fluglehre, which was pub lished up to 1936 in five German editions and translated into several languages. When asked, about three years ago, to prepare an English edition the author found that a book of somewhat different type would be more useful under the present conditions. There already exist in this country several introductory texts on the mechanics of ight suitable for beginners. On the other hand, a mature student or an engineer well versed in the advanced stages of higher mathematics can readily work his way through the currently published research papers. An actual demand does, however, seem to exist for a book at an intermediate level, say, on the borderline between the last year of college and the first year of graduate work. It is assumed that the reader of the present text knows the principles of calculus and has some training in general mechanics inso far as the standard college education provides for these things. Only such parts of the theory of ight as are understandable at this level are presented in the book, the mathematical theory of uid mechanics thus being excluded.1 In order to keep the book within reasonable limits peripheral questions and many details in all topics have had to be omitted. Although the book is meant as a text for students and engineers, it was not the author's purpose to supply the reader with ready-made formulas in which to substitute design data. Nor was it his intention to give a collection of results that the candidate for a degree should memorize. The book aims, as did the Fluglehre, to develop interest in and understanding of the fundamental ideas that underlie the design and the operation of modern aircraft. The problems inserted at the ends of the sections, particularly those marked by an asterisk, are intended to give some direction to the efforts of any reader who would apply himself toward a better comprehension of the diversified questions involved in the theory of airplane ight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory of Aviation, Vol. 1: Instruction Paper Henson. That the results of his investigations were not entirely lost, however, is evident from Henson's machine of 1842, which was an even more astonishing anticipation of modern invention. Henson had not alone grasped the general principles but had also anticipated the actual construction of the aeroplanes that are performing such wonders in the air today. His machine was a monoplane and the wings with their ribbing and silk covering, stayed above and below to central posts placed in the main body, is almost identical with that of the French monoplane, the auxiliary trussing at the center of the planes constituting an arrangement employed on the Antoi nette. In addition to the main planes, there was a hinged rear tail, and a rudder for vertical and horizontal control, and there was like wise a three-wheel chassis on which the machine was designed to run when on the ground. As a parallel to the Wright starting rail, Henson proposed to employ an inclined plane, the run-down which would give the initial impulse necessary to launch the machine in the air.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Aerodynamics and the Theory of the Aeroplane, Vol. 1: A Resume of the Principles Evolved, by Past Experiments It was my original intention to compile a complete book dealing in concise and simple manner with such of the principles of Aerodynamics as are applicable to the practical construction of flying machines. The subject, however, is one which calls for a great deal of time and attention, and, so far, I have not been able to devote sufficient of these to the matter so as to complete the work. But having published some portions as articles in "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. Since most of this book had actually been written, Mr. Lanchester's two great volumes have been published. While his copious comments and arguments are of the greatest value to the student, they need, as a rule, hardly be referred to in this book, wherein theory is gone into as little as possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wing Veins of Insects, Vol. 1 Additional evidence in favor of the theory of the indirect development of the wings may be had from a study of the structure of existing and fossil wings. 'the great difference that is evident between the structure of the wing membrane and that of'the body wall is nowhere bridged over by tran sitional conditions, even in degenerate and functionless wings. It is only in cases where the wing loses in a measure its flight function by taking upon itself other duties, as in the case of elytra, halters, etc., that the histological structure becomes approximately that of the body wall. The invariable association of strikingly distinct structural peculiarities with the function of flight and the absence of transitional conditions indicates that the primitive wing must have arisen from an organ distinct in function and structure from any of the types of functional wings known in living insects or preserved to us in the rocks. Some of the differentiations that characterize wings arose while the wing exercised this other function. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early History of the Airplane We began our active experiments at the close of this period, in October, 1900, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Our ma chine was designed to be own as a kite, with a man on board, in winds from 15 to 20 miles an hour. But, upon trial, it was found that much stronger winds were required to lift it. Suitable winds not being plentiful, we found it neces sary, in order to test the new balancing system, to y the machine as a kite with out a man on board, operating the levers through cords from the ground. This did not give the practice anticipated, but it inspired confidence in the new system of balance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Substance and Function, and Einstein's Theory of Relativity The investigations contained in this volume were first prompted by studies in the philosophy oi_ mathematics. In the course of an attempt to comprehend the fundamental conceptions of mathematics from the point of view of logic, it became necessary to analyse more closely the function of the concept itself and to trace it back to its presuppositions. Here, however, a peculiar difficulty arose: the traditional logic of the concept, in its well-known features, proved inadequate even to characterize the problems to which the theory of the principles of mathematics led. It became increasingly evident that exact science had here reached questions for which there existed no precise correlate in the traditional language of formal logic. The content of mathematical knowledge pointed back to a fundamental form of the concept not clearly defined and recognized within logic itself. In particular, investigations concerning the concepts of the series and of the limit, the special results of which, however, could not be included in the general exposition of this book, con firmed this view and led to a renewed analysis of the principles of the construction of concepts in general.

Download or read book Applied Aerodynamics Classic Reprint written by Leonard Bairstow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 596 pages. 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.
