This groundbreaking research, conducted by aviation pioneer Samuel Pierpont Langley, provides valuable insights into the science of flight. Langley's experiments with gliders, kites, and airfoils paved the way for the development of the modern airplane. This volume, published in 1899, presents Langley's findings in detail, including his experiments with a machine called the 'aerodrome', which was one of the earliest successful attempts at powered flight.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
