Octave Chanute was already a well-known engineer when he began studying the problem of flight. His classic 1894 volume Progress in Flying Machines brought together in one book a history of humankind's attempts to fly. Chanute also applied his knowledge of bridge building to the design of gliders.
He published his findings in a series of articles in The Railroad and Engineering Journal from 1891 to 1893, which were then re-published in the influential book Progress in Flying Machines in 1894. This was the most systematic global survey of fixed-wing heavier-than-air aviation research published up to that time.

P = P' sin 2 a. P = P' sin 3 a. P = P' (sin a) 1.84 cos a. P = P' (2 * sin a )/ (1 + sin 2 a ) P = 2 P' sin a. Indeed, the field seemed so open in this direction that only two years ago I ventured to propose a formula of my own, which I subsequently concluded to be erroneous; but the question seems now to be set at rest for the present by the ...
