Professor Alexander Graham Ben. In tie Ma

No one has contributed more 70 the modern
revival Of interest in flying machines of the
heavier-than-air type than our own Professor
Langley. the late secretary Of the Smithsonian
Institution. The constant failures and disasters
OF the past had brought into disrepute the
whole subject OF aerial flight by man; and the
would-be inventor or experimenter had TO face
not only the natural difficulties OF his subject
but the ridicule OF skeptical world To Profess
sor Langley is due the chief credit Of placing
this subject upon a scientific basis.
The Wright brothers began by repeating the
gliding experiments Of Lilienthal. with improved
apparatus Of the Hargrave type modified by
Chanute. After having made many successful
glides through the air without motor they
followed in the footsteps OF Langley and pro-
PEELED their machine by means OF twin screws
operated by engine power. They were successful
in launching their apparatus into the air. and IL

TIE TETRAHEDRAL PRINCIPLE
In my paper upon the tetrahedrsl principle IN
having the form OF a tetrahedron possesses In a
remarkable degr9e the properties OF strength and
Nghtness. This is specially the case when we
adopt as our unit structure the form OF the reg
ular tetrahedron. in which the skeleton frame is
composed OF six rods OF equal length, as this
form seems 20 give the maximum Of strength
with the minimum Of material When these
tetrahedrel frames cells connected to-
sether by their corners they compose structure
and fragile material. the whole etructure pos
sessing the same properties Of strength and
!ghtness Inherent in the individual cells them
selves.
Kites so formed exhibit remarkable stability
in the air under varying conditions Of wind
and stated in my paper that the kites which
had the largest central spaces seemed 10 be the
most stable in the air. OF course, these were
the structures that we're composed OF tho largest
number OF unit cells. and now have reason 20
believe that the automatic stability OF these kites
depends more upon the number OF unit cells
than upon the presence Of large empty spaces
in the kites for l have found upon fliiag In
these empty spaces with unit cells. that the fly
Ing qualities Of large kite have been greatly
improved. The structure, modified, seems to
fly in as light breeze as before but with greatly
Increased lifting power. while the gain IN
structural strength is enormous.
