What reading level is Aerial Locomotion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In accordance with the principle of Aspect Ratio the blades should not be too broad ; in accordance with that of Superposed Planes there should not be too many blades, otherwise they inter- fere with one another's action. The blades should be concave at the back and convex at the front with both surfaces smooth. The principle of the dipping front edge or the principle of the gradual deflection of the air without shock will apply equally to the propeller blade and to the supporting surface of th...e aeroplane.
Propellers are made of both wood and metal. Wooden propellers are built up of strips of wood running from the axis to the tip of the blade. The strips are first fastened together and afterwards fashioned to the desired shape. In metal propellers the blade is formed of a sheet of metal supported by a rib running out from the axis.
In ships the propeller is always placed behind the ship, never in front. There are two reasons for this. First, if the propeller were in front, the water thrown back would strike the ship and impede its progress.
