About this book
The title page describes an illustrated manual of instruction in aeroplane construction and operation, including notes on aeroplane design, aerodynamic calculation and materials, adapted for schools or home study. The experimental discussion says that a biplane and a triplane will have about the same landing speed when they have the same area and loading.
The explanation of propeller thrust says that slip is necessary, since equal translational and blade-pitch velocities leave no air stream accelerated by the blades and therefore no thrust due to reaction. The discussion of wing area says that increasing the area increases the weight of the wing surface, the wiring and the weights of the structural members.
