The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. Principles and Design of Aëroplanes by Herbert Chatley is a seminal piece on the workings of an aeroplane. It not only details out the theoretical principles involved in flight mechanics but also the design elements and technology that goes into creating a functional aeroplane. Chatley uses simple language to deconstruct some highly complex subject matter for the lay reader to understand. Replete with diagrams and calculations that showcase the various elements which play a part in aeroplane design, the author provides a comprehensive overview of all the intricacies involved in the process of making an aeroplane.
Chatley divides Principles and Design of Aëroplanes into ten different chapters including separate sections on air pressure, propellers and motors, balancing in the air, construction techniques, challenges faced and the future of aeroplanes among other aspects. Chatley's immense knowledge and expertise shines through in the entire text, however it is even more accentuated when he discusses the challenges and future developments in the air space. It is here that the reader will be able to fully understand and appreciate the far sighted and revolutionary ideas of the author.
Unlike other works that take on a textbook approach to the physics involved in aeroplane design, Chatley creates a fine balance between a gripping narrative and technical information. It is this quality in Principles and Design of Aëroplanes which makes it enlightening not just for students of science and aeronautical engineering but casual enthusiasts as well.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1911, provides an overview of aircraft technology in the early days of the field. The author, an engineer and professor, had a deep understanding of the principles of flight and provides insights on crucial problems facing aircraft and their creators, including weight, speed and stability. He provides simple rules and formulae that address issues like soaring velocity, lift, resistance, and other critical topics of interest to aviators of the day. The book also includes discussion of the importance of balance and control in aircraft design, with practical guidance on construction, from the framework to the propeller. By summarizing key concepts and providing helpful rules, this book offers a valuable perspective on early aircraft design and can be seen as a foundational document in the development of this revolutionary technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331666356_0
