Synopsis
AIRPLANE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PART I STRUCTURE OF THE AIRPLANE CHAPTER I THE WINGS While for birds, and in general for all animals of the air, wings serve to insure both sustentation and propulsion, those of the airplane are used solely to provide the means of sustaining the machine in the air. The phenomenon of sustentation is easily explained. A body moving through the air produces, because of its motion, a disturbance of the atmosphere which is more or less pronounced and complex in character. In the final analysis, this disturbance is reduced to the formation of zones of positive and negative pressures. The resultant of these pressures may then be classified into its three components: 1. Vertical or sustaining force, called Lift, 2. Horizontal component parallel and opposite the line of flight, called Drag, and 3. Horizontal component perpendicular to the line of flight, called Lateral Drift. The vertical component may be positive or negative. An example of the negati

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth examination of airplane design and construction, which have allowed humans to take to the skies in heavier-than-air machines. The author draws on the work of European pioneers to provide a practical analysis of many of the problems relating to airplane design and operation, including the principles of aerodynamics, the forces acting on an airplane in flight, and the design of specific components such as wings, control surfaces, fuselages, landing gear, and engines. 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 9781440069604_0
