Excerpt from The Mechanics of the Aeroplane: A Study of the Principles of Flight

The present work belongs to neither of these categories. Its purpose is 'to explain in terms as simple as possible, and with a minimum of formulae, the main principles of dynamic flight to give the ordinary reader an insight into the various problems involved in the motion and equilibrium of the aeroplane; and to enable him to cal culate in the simplest possible manner the various elements and conditions of flight.

At the outset of this work it may be well to provide against possible misconception by explaining that it in no way aspires to present in final and conclusive form the intricate problems which constitute the complete theory of the aeroplane - in view of the comparative youth of the science, such an attempt cannot be made for many years to come.
