Seaplanes for Commerce

Description: The advantages of using seaplanes for commercial purposes is discussed. The three primary advantages described include their superior speeds over existing means of transport on the same routes, the available landing fields when flying over the water, and the reduction of distance from the airport to the city is serves due to the seaplane's ability to land in water.

Notes on Aerodynamic Forces on Airship Hulls

Description: "For a first approximation the air flow around the airship hull is assumed to obey the laws of perfect (i.e. free from viscosity) incompressible fluid. The flow is further assumed to be free from vortices (or rotational motion of the fluid). These assumptions lead to very great simplifications of the formulae used but necessarily imply an imperfect picture of the actual conditions. The value of the results depends therefore upon the magnitude of the forces produced by the disturbances in the fl… more

Disturbing Effect of Free Hydrogen on Fuel Combustion in Internal Combustion Engines

Description: "Experiments with fuel mixtures of varying composition, have recently been conducted by the Motor Vehicle and Airplane Engine Testing Laboratories of the Royal Technical High School in Berlin and at Fort Hahneberg, as well as at numerous private engine works. The behavior of hydrogen during combustion in engines and its harmful effect under certain conditions, on the combustion in the engine cylinder are of general interest. Some of the results of these experiments are given here, in order to e… more
