Synopsis

Excerpt from The Air Propeller

It is with some hesitation that the writer adds to the literature of. The propeller. He has been lead to do so, however, because many discussions of the subject are unsatisfying and in some cases are not in accord with fact. Indeed, misconceptions of the behavior of a propeller are not uncommonly held even by those who are otherwise well informed on aerodynamic subjects. The author has endeavored to present a brief and simple treatment of the propeller for those who want a practical working knowledge of its characteristics and a general knowledge of its theory. It is believed that the treatment will at the same time serve as a general introduction for those who wish to pursue the subject further and to make a more detailed study of the propeller, either in its theoretical or practical aspects.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.

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.
