Excerpt from The Design of Aeroplanes
The present volume is the outcome of an endeavour to fulfil an aeronautical need, which must have been experienced by most designers, draughtsmen, and students, in entering the field of aeronautics - namely, the absence of collected data and design methods. In other branches of engineering one finds numerous design and pocket books containing a compendium Of useful information, and fulfilling most of the ordinary requirements. In aeronautical engineering, however, although there are numerous works of a more or less popular and romantic nature, yet the absence of similar design and pocket books is marked, no doubt on account of the more recent development of this branch.
The chief Object of the present work is to present in a simple yet brief form the principles underlying the design of aeroplanes from the standpoint of the mechanical engineer, and to collect and tabulate some of the data which experience has shown to be useful in design work.
A chapter has been included dealing with the more important mechanical principles involved in aeronautical design, with an indication as to their utility and application.
Obviously, the subject Of aeroplane design is now so wide that it is impossible either to treat each branch of the subject in full, or to embrace every branch, but it is hoped in the complete series of aeronautical manuals to cover most of the ground; the author, for these reasons, seeks the indulgence Of the reader for any apparent incompleteness in the present work.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a guide to the design and construction of aeroplanes, written from the perspective of a mechanical engineer. It was published during a time when aviation was in its infancy, and the need for comprehensive design manuals was acutely felt. The author, recognizing this gap, aims to provide a clear and concise explanation of the principles underlying aeroplane design, with a special focus on the practical considerations and data necessary for engineers and students. The book delves into a variety of topics, including the forces acting on aeroplanes in flight, weight estimation, wing loading, and the stresses involved in different design elements. It also explores the mechanical principles at play in aeroplane design, providing practical guidance for construction and incorporating historical examples to illustrate key concepts. The author's goal is to equip the reader with the necessary knowledge and tools to build safe and efficient aeroplanes, showcasing the importance of understanding both the theoretical and practical aspects of aeronautical engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
