Synopsis

This book, a seminal work on the theory of dynamic flight, provides an in-depth look into the concept of heavier-than-air flight and the use of air resistance as a means for support. It establishes the fundamental principles that laid the groundwork for the development of the airplane and continues to be a key text for understanding the operation of fixed-wing aircraft. By examining the airflow around surfaces, the book explores the forces of lift and drag and the factors that affect them, such as surface shape, angle of incidence, and air density. This knowledge is essential for the design and construction of successful flying machines and has significantly advanced the field of aviation.
