ASSailS Attempt to Fly
Old Langley Plane

New light on the Langley flying
machine is supplied by Griffith
Brewer. member of the Council of
the Aercnsutical Society of Great
Britain; member Of the committee OF
the Royal Aero Club, and British
competitor in the Gordon Bennett
balloon race in 1907. in latter print
ed IN a New York newspaper. He
SAYS:
In view of the statements that
have heen appearing in the An!eri-
can newspapers since | arrived over
mere ten GAYS or so ago l should
like to give a few facts for the bene-
At of aviation in America:
The Langley machine did not fail
to fly in 1903 for want of power. II
had ffty-two horse power to drive
whereas the Wrights had only
twelve horse power, and their ma
chine weighed al pounds. Langley.
therefore, had four times the power
that the Wright had, yet he failed
where they succeeded. The reasons
langley did not succeed were as fol-
lows:
The machine was inefficient. Lang
ley was under the mistaken impress
extreme lishtness and large surface
In order to fly. The result was that
he designed wings of very small
strength, which were extremely in
efhciant in lift, and also which pos
sessed unnecessary resistance
The propellers designed by Langley
were very inefficient. The propellers
made by Langley gave an efficiency
considerably less than 20 per cent,
compared with the 6S per cent eff
cheney given by the propellers con-
structCd by the Wrights. and used
on their first machine in 1903 The
original Wright propelles have since
been copied On the best machines to-
day. and form the standard from
which modern propellers are design
ed. More than 80 per cent of the
propcllsrs in use on modern ma
chimes today are less efficient than
the propellers designed and used by
Wilbur and Orville Wright on their
drst machine.

wrinkles are literally pressed out.
Best OF all, this result is not purely
temporary. for the lotion also has
a healthful tonic action. which tends
to strengthen and tone up the weak

be expected with continued use. Use

of balancing an aeroplane in the air
during fight. Langley employed
wings fixed at a dIhedral angle to
each other in order TO maintain bal
ance and this method had been suS-
Sested by others many years before.
Many eXperimenters have tried this
system OF balance and failed because
the first side gust OF wind will upset
the machine and cause il 10 dive TO
the ground. The Wrights lid not
use the dihedral angle for maintain
ing balance but they invented and
used means for altering the angle of
the ends of the wings and this meth
cd or an equivalent is employed to-
day on all machines which ny in the
air.
Langley had no practical means
of launching his machine. The first
atternpt to launch II resulted in a
portion OF the machine catching in
the launching apparatus and the sec
ond attempt resulted in another por-
ton catching with the same result
of plunging the machine into the
water below. The WrignJs succeed
ed in producing a practical launch
apparatus which launched their ma
chine successfully the very first at
tempt and which repeated this sue
cessful launching thousands OF times
afterward.
