Stability in aviation. An introduction to dynamical stability as applied to the motions of aeroplanes. (Q1485412)

Als zweites Heft der ``Macmillan's Science Monographs'' erscheinend, liefert das Buch von \textit{Bryan} sehr wertvolle Untersuchungen über Stabilität beim Luftfluge. Inhalt: Kap. I. Introduction and summary. II. Fundamental principles. III. General considerations regarding symmetrical derivatives. IV. Graphic statics of longitudinal equilibrium. V. Longitudinal stability of singlelifting systems. VI. Longitudinal stability of double-lifting systems. Extension of results to systems other than narrow aeroplanes moving at small angles. VII. Asymmetric or ``lateral'' stability; straight planes and vertical fins. VIII. Lateral stability. Bent up planes. IX. General conclusions. X. Comparison with other theories. XI. Problems. Notes. Nomenclature. Notation. [Vgl. Nature 88, 406-407, 1912.]
