Page 44 - Every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, except in so far as it is compelled to change that state by a force impressed upon it.
Page 95 - The radial and rotary types have too much wind surface exposed and have as a rule to be placed in front of the pilot; the Vee engine is not an attractive mechanical proposition, and the advantage gained...
Page 95 - WE have dealt principally with engines of 100 horsepower, but engines of 200 horse-power are in common use, and in the near future we may expect still more powerful engines—probably the day of the 1,000 horsepower aeroplane engine is close at hand.
Page 96 - The abolition of the oil pump with its attendant drive and pipes may also be one of the future developments in design. In the matter of pistons the...
Page 45 - At the beginning of the stroke part of the pressure on the piston is required to start the mass off from rest with the required acceleration, this amount being represented by AD to some scale.
