AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
L. Baudry de Saunier. Elements of aerial locomotion. Paris, L. Baudry de Saunier editor, 1909, 200 pp., 23 pp.
A volume in-8 (230x170 mm), full percaline (publisher's binding). Wear and rubbing on the boards, bumped capitals, loss of paper on one margin on pages 105-108 without affecting the text. Interior fresh, без foxing. Binding solid.
Original edition very richly illustrated
A technical work that presents the fundamental principles of flight and means of locomotion in the air at the beginning of the 20th century. The author describes the different types of aeronautical craft then existing — balloons, airships, and nascent airplanes — as well as their characteristics of lift, propulsion, and control.
Baudry de Saunier explains the physical laws involved, such as lift, air resistance, and the balance of aircraft, stressing the importance of sound design, steady piloting, and the precision of navigation instruments. The work also addresses possible applications, notably military and scientific, and highlights the technical challenges related to the safety and maneuverability of the devices.
