CHAPTER I

FLIGHT

Air has weight (about 13 cubic feet = 1 lb.), inertia, and momentum. It therefore obeys Newton's laws[14] and resists movement. It is that resistance or reaction which makes flight possible.

Flight is secured by driving through the air a surface[15] inclined upwards and towards the direction of motion.
