CHAPTER II -Flying Machines Construction And Operation

by LovelyMay — Chapter II of "Flying Machines: Construction and Operation" dives into the theory, development, and usage of early aviation technology, particularly distinguishing between balloons (lighter-than-air machines) and flying machines (heavier-than-air machines) propelled by engines rather than lifted by gas. The chapter underscores the critical inspiration drawn from birds, with the successful designs of flying machines mimicking bird flight on a mechanical scale. Central to the history of aeroplane…

CHAPTER XIII – Flying Machines Construction And Operation

by LovelyMay — This chapter delves into the specific demands for power in airship propulsion, distinguishing markedly from terrestrial vehicles like automobiles in terms of power requirements for a given load. Unlike cars that rest on the stable ground and require relatively less power to move heavy loads at significant speeds, airships, due to the absence of a solid resting platform, necessitate much greater power to maintain both lift and forward motion. An automobile might carry a load weighing 4,000 pounds at speeds…
