What reading level is Flying Machines to Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are at the mercy of the wind, and wind velocities may reach a hundred miles an hour. The inherent dis- advantage of aerial flight is in what engineers call its '4ow load factor." That is, the ratio of normal perform- ance required to possible abnormal performance necessary under adverse conditions is extremely low. To make a balloon truly dirigible throughout the year involves, at Paris, for example, as we have seen, a speed exceeding fifty-four miles per hour: and even then, during one- ten...th the year, the effective speed would not exceed twenty miles Digitized by Google Digitized by Google ii8 Flying Machines Today per hour. A time table which required a schedule speed reduction of 60% on one day out of ten would be obviously unsatisfactory. Further, if we aim at excessively high independent speeds for our dirigible balloons, in order to become inde- pendent of wind conditions, we soon reach velocities at which the gas bag is unnecessary: that is, a simple wing surface would at those speeds give ample support.
