Thb following pages consist of a series of articles on “ Prog¬ ress in Flying Machines,” as distinguished from balloons, which have been published in The Railroad and Engineering Journal (now redesignated as The American Engineer), of New York City. The first article appeared in October, 1891, and the series comprised 27 issues. It was at first expected to explore the subject in six or eight articles, but investigation disclosed that far more experimenting of instructive value had been done than was at first supposed, and not only have these articles run to greater length than was expected, but they have been thought worthy of issuing in book form. * Naturally enough the public has taken little heed of the prog¬ ress really made toward the evolution of a complicated prob¬ lem, hitheito generally considered as impossible of solution. It will probably be surprised to learn how much has been accomplished toward overcoming the various difficulties in¬ volved, and how far the elements of a possible future success have accumulated within the last five years. The writer’s object in preparing these articles was threefold : 1. To satisfy himself whether, with our piesent mechanical knowledge and appliances, more particularly the light motors recently developed, men might reasonably hope eventua ly to fly through the air. He now thinks that this question can be answered in the affirmative. 2. To save the waste of effort on the part of experimenter;, involved in trying again devices which have already failed ; and to point out, as much as may be, the causes cf such failures. To this end an earnest effort was made to gather all the experi¬ mental records which were accessible, and to obtain a thor¬ ough understanding of them, so as to bring out clearly the reason of the failure. The reader must be the judge as to the measure of success which has attended this effort. 3. To furnish an account of those recent achievements which render it less chimerical than it was a few years ago to experi¬ ment with a flying machine, and to give such an understanding of the principles involved and of the results thus far accom¬ plished, as to enable an investigator to distinguish between an inadequate proposal, sure to fail, and a reasonable design, worthy of consideraiion, and perhaps (after due investigation and preliminary trial) of experiment upon an adequate scale. Chicago, January, 1894. KEYING MACHINES. INTRODUCTION. Having in a previous volume treated the general sub¬ ject of “ Aerial Navigation,” in which a sketch was given of what has been accomplished with balloons, I propose in the following chapters to treat of Flying Machines proper —that is to say, of forms of apparatus heavier than the air which they displace ; deriving their support from and progressing through the air, like the birds, by purely dy¬ namical means. i It is intended to give sketches of many machines, and to attempt to criticise them. We know comparatively so little of the laws and princi¬ ples which govern air resistances and reactions, and the subject will be so novel to most readers, that it would be difficult to follow the more rational plan of first laying down the general principles, to serve as a basis for dis¬ cussing past attempts to effect artificial flight. The course will therefore be adopted of first stating a few general considerations and laws, and of postponing the statement of others until the discussion of some machines and past failures permits of showing at once the application of the principles. The first inquiry in the mind of the reader will probably be as to whether we know just how birds fly and what power they consume. The answer must, unfortunately, be that we as yet know very little about it. Here is a phenomenon going on daily under our eyes, and it has not been reduced to the sway of mathematical law. There has been controversy not only about the power required, but about the principle or method in which sup¬ port is derived. The earlier idea, now abandoned, so far I 2 FLYING MACHINES. as large birds are concerned, was that when they flapped their wings downward they produced thereby a reacting air pressure wholly equal to their weight, and so obtained their support. This is known as the “ orthogonal theory,” and has been disproved by calculations of the velocity and resulting pressures of the wing beats of large birds, and by the more recent labors of Professor Marey. It seems likely that the smaller birds, who, as will be explained hereafter, are probably stronger in proportion to their weight than the larger birds, possess the power of deliver¬ ing blows upon the air equal to a supporting reaction. Such may be the case in the hovering of the humming¬ bird and the rising vertically of the sparrow ; but the latter exertion is evidently severe, and cannot be long continued. Mr. Drzeweicki has shown that a buzzard, beating his wings times a second, with an amplitude of 120°, could only obtain, according to accepted formulae of air pressures, a sustaining orthogonal reaction of 0.40 pounds or about Tv of his weight, while it his wings are considered as in¬ clined planes, progressing horizontally at a speed of 45 miles per hour, a sustaining reaction is easily figured out. It seems quite certain that large birds cannot practice orthogonal flight, and that they derive their support main¬ ly if not wholly from the upward reaction or vertical component of the normal air pressure due to their speed.

  • Leonardo3 the World of Leonardo
    Leonardo3 – Il Mondo di Leonardo Sale del Re, Piazza della Scala Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II entrance Ends July 31, 2013 - Daily, 10am-11pm Leonardo3 The World of Leonardo An exhibit featuring brand-new discoveries and interactive experiences Milan, April 17, 2013. Leonardo3 – Il Mondo di Leonardo, an ex- hibit now open inside Milan’s prestigious Sale del Re in Piazza della Scala (entrance from the Galleria), has already sold over 40,000 tickets in its first 40 days. This is the most important interactive and interdisciplinary ex- hibit ever dedicated to artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci and his ingenious machines. The show has been awarded a state prize by the President of Italy and is supported by the Municipality of Milan. THE EXHIBIT: PURPOSE AND PREMISE Countless exhibitions have been dedicated to Leonardo over the last ten years. While the artworks of this Renaissance genius have been the object of much attention, study and popularization, the same cannot be said for his manuscripts, which are decidedly more difficult to understand and appreciate. Leonardo left behind some 120 notebooks, many of which have been lost. Yet we still have around 5 thousand pages, most of which contain drawings that remain to be interpreted. This show presents the results of research carried out over the last ten years by Mario Taddei and Edoardo Zanon. Its purpose is to highlight Leonardo’s work not just as “artist” but also as “engi- neer” and help us understand what he wrote, what he designed, the studies he made for his machines, and how he worked.

Tell me if anything was ever done.” – Leonardo da Vinci (SIMI VALLEY, Calif.) – Leonardo da Vinci is one of the greatest minds and talents of all time. He was an artist and inventor who created the most incredible works of beauty, designed the most frightening war machines intended for death and destruction, and invented flying machines 400 years before man took to the skies. Now, for the first time ever, two original folios of the authentic, 600-year-old Codex Atlanticus*, over three dozen reconstructions of Leonardo da Vinci’s extraordinary machines, as well as a more modern take on da Vinci’s work including five original Warhol paintings featuring da Vinci’s Last Supper have been brought together for a one-of-a-kind special exhibition at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum’s The World of da Vinci exhibition. “Over the past few years, every time we’ve asked our visitors what special exhibit they would most like us to host, an exhibit on Leonardo da Vinci ranked number one by a landslide,” said John Heubusch, executive director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. “We are thrilled to say that Editor’s Note: Additional photos available upon request; The following credit line must be used: Copyright Leonardo3 – all rights reserved.

Florence — In Leonardo returned to Florence, where he was received as a great man. Unfortunately, his experiment was Leonardo da Vinci. As a notary, Leonardo's father Ser Piero was positioned quite solidly within the developing middle classes, which were full of clubs, guilds, and unions that carefully regulated the opportunities of a boy like Leonardo. He backed up his claim with the fact that Egyptian hieroglyphs represent the mother as a vulture, because the Egyptians believed that there are no male vultures and that the females of the species are impregnated by the wind.

    The makers of Leader of Innovative Toys and Educational Products ELENCO CELEBRATES 46 YEARS AS A LEADER IN STEM EDUCATION From its humble roots in a Chicago- area basement to a leader in the STEM movement, Elenco -- the makers of SNAP CIRCUITS® -- looks ahead to a bright future Wheeling, Illinois – History in STEM: In 1972, Elenco’s founder, Gil Cecchin, began building Elenco’s first product, a color bar generator for television repairmen, in his basement in the Chicago suburb of Niles, Illinois. Gil came from a poor, Italian immigrant family and worked his way up to become an electrical engineer at Motorola, with over 25 patents, and leading a team of engineers that made color TV accessible and affordable to consumers. One of Elenco’s first customers was a mail- order, educational provider. Elenco grew in the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s by supplying technical schools, colleges, and high schools across the country with educational kits and products that taught the basics of electronics and engineering. Elenco was STEM before the term “STEM” even existed. Gil wanted to share his passion for electronics and engineering and he felt the best way to learn was by doing. Thus, Elenco’s trademark -- Learn by doing® – was born.
