Book Description
Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Model Aeroplaning The object of this little book is not to describe how to construct some particular kind of aeroplane; this has been done elsewhere: but to narrate in plain langauage the general practice and principles of model aeroplaning. There is a science of model aeroplaning - just as there is a science of model yachting and model steam and electric traction, and an endeavour is made in the following pages to do in some measure for model aeroplanes what has already been done for model yachts aeroplane what has already been done for model yachts and locomotives. To achieve the best results, theory and pratice must go hand in hand. From a series of carefully conducted experiments empirical formulae can be obtained which, combined later with mathematical induction and deduction, may lead, not only to a more accurate and generalize law than that contained in the empirical formula, but to valuable deductions of a totally new type, embodying some general law hitherto quite unknown by experimentalist, which in its turn may serve as a foundation or stepping stone for suggesting other experiments and empirical formulae which may be of especial importance, to be treated in their turn like their predecessor. By "especial importance," I mean not only to "model," but "Aeroplaning" generally. As to the value experiments on or with models with respect to full-sized machines, fifteen years ago I held the opinion that they were a very doubtful factor.

Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Theory and Practice of Model Aeroplaning: Look inside the book: Scale models of actual flying machines that will fly mean models at least 10 or 12 feet across, and every other dimension in like proportion; and it must always be carefully borne in mind that the smaller the scale the greater the difficulties, but not in the same proportion—it would not be twice as difficult to build a 1⁄4-in. scale model as a 1⁄2-in., but four, five or six times as difficult. ...The propellers should be of large diameter and pitch (not less than 35° at the tips), of curved shape, as advocated in § 22 ch. v.; the aerofoil surface of as high an aspect ratio as possible, and but slight camber if any; this is a very difficult question, the question of camber, and the writer feels bound to admit he has obtained as long flights with surfaces practically flat, but which do, of course, camber slightly in a suitable wind, as with stiffer cambered surfaces.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Conquest of the Air: Aeronautics Aviation, History: Theory: Practice If one also recalls the fact that it was in the course of this same year, 1909, that the two most remarkable voyages were accomplished by dirigible balloons, which have definitely asserted the possibility of their practical application, one will understand that the highway of the atmosphere is now open, and that the Conquest of the Air has become an accomplished fact. The moment is therefore Opportune to explain how this conquest has been effected, to describe the principles of the construction and control of aerial vessels, dirigible balloons, or aviation apparatus; that is my reason for writing this book.
