Halaman 372 - STATOSCOPE: An instrument to detect the existence of a small rate of ascent or descent, principally used in ballooning. STAY: A wire, rope, or the like used as a tie piece to hold parts together, or to contribute stiffness; for example, the stays of the wing and body trussing. STEP: A break in the form of the bottom of a float.
Halaman 372 - It is usually caused by insufficient banking in a turn, and is the opposite of side slipping. SKIDS : Long wooden or metal runners designed to prevent nosing of a land machine when landing or to prevent dropping into holes or ditches in rough ground. Generally designed to function should the landing gear collapse or fail to act. SLIP...
Halaman 369 - CONTROLS: A general term applying to the means provided for operating the devices used to control speed, direction of flight, and attitude of an aircraft.
Halaman 368 - BALLONET: A small balloon within the interior of a balloon or dirigible for the purpose of controlling the ascent or descent, and for maintaining pressure on the outer envelope to prevent deformation. The ballonet is kept inflated with air at the required pressure, under the control of a blower and valves. BALLOON : A form of aircraft comprising a gas bag and a car, whose sustentation depends on the buoyancy of the contained gas, which is lighter than air. Captive. — A balloon restrained from free...
Halaman 310 - After running the motor a few minutes to heat it up, I released the wire that held the machine to the track, and the machine started forward in the wind.
Halaman 311 - The course of the' next four or five hundred feet had but little undulation. However, when out about eight hundred feet the machine began pitching again, and, in one of its darts downward, struck the ground. The distance over the ground was measured and found to be 852 feet; the time of the flight 59 seconds.
Halaman 371 - KITE: A form of aircraft without other propelling means than the towline pull, whose support is derived from the force of the wind moving past its surface.
Halaman 310 - I found the control of the front rudder quite difficult on account of its being balanced too near the center and thus had a tendency to turn itself when started so that the rudder was turned too far on one side and then too far on the other. As a result the machine would rise suddenly to about 10 ft. and then as suddenly, on turning the rudder, dart for the ground.
Halaman 373 - Warp: To change the form of the wing by twisting it, usually by changing the inclination of the rear spar relative to the front spar. Wings: The main supporting surfaces of an airplane. Wing Loading: The weight carried per unit area of supporting surface. Wing...
Halaman 369 - BAROGRAPH: An instrument used to record variations in barometric pressure. In aeronautics the charts on which the records are made are prepared to indicate altitudes directly instead of barometric pressure.
