The ABC Of Aviation

The ABC of Aviation is a comprehensive guide to aeronautical engineering written by Victor Wilfred Page and published in 1918. The book provides a detailed overview of the principles and practices of aviation, including the design and construction of aircraft, the mechanics of flight, and the principles of aerodynamics. Written during a time of rapid technological advancement in the field of aviation, this book offers a practical and accessible approach to the subject matter. It is intended for both novice and experienced engineers, as well as anyone interested in the science and mechanics of flight. The book is organized into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of aeronautical engineering. The first section provides an introduction to the basic principles of flight, including the forces that act on an aircraft and the different types of aircraft that exist. The second section covers the design and construction of aircraft, including the materials used, the different types of engines, and the various components that make up an aircraft. The third section is devoted to the mechanics of flight, including the principles of aerodynamics, lift, and drag. The fourth section covers the different types of aircraft that exist, including gliders, balloons, and airships. The final section provides an overview of the history of aviation, including the pioneers of flight and the major milestones in the development of aircraft. Overall, The ABC of Aviation is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science and mechanics of flight. Its clear and concise writing style, combined with its practical approach to the subject matter, make it an essential reference for engineers, students, and aviation enthusiasts alike.With Special Reference To Simplified Explanations Of The Theory Of Flight, Aerodynamics, And Basic Principles Underlying The Action Of Balloons And Airplanes Of All Types.
