The carrying capacity of arched surfaces in sailing flight. By Otto Lilienthal. Translated from Zeitschrift für luftschiffahrt und physik der atmosphäre for November, 1893. This volume contains research that originally appeared in The Railroad and Engineering Journal between 1891 and 1893. In it, the distinguished French-born aviation pioneer Octave Chanute analyzed virtually every flight experiment up to that time, explained their flaws and focused attention on the principles that showed most promise. His data on flight control and equilibrium was crucial to the early designs of the Wright Brothers. Also available in digital form on the Library of Congress Web site. Flying-machines. Airplanes.
