To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The curve usually adopted is parabolic, the deepest part of the curve being situated near the forward edge. This forward edge is usually thick in section, the surface tapering off to a fine point in the rear. The greatest depth of the curve or as it is sometimes called, the " camber " varies with the shape, the angle of in- clination, and the weight and speed for which the aeroplane is designed. In practice the camber varies from 6 to 15 centimetres (2| to 6 inches), for a plane with a chord th...at is a fore-and-aft dimen- sion of 1-8 to 2 metres (6 to 7 feet). FLOW OF THE AIR 43 19. Skin-Friction. Air-resistance acts normally to the surface, as has been seen. There is, however, another part of air-resistance which is not exerted normally to the surface. If a body moved through a fluid that possessed no viscosity, the only resist- ance it would meet with would be that directly exerted on its face: its rear trailing portion would pass through the fluid without effort. But when a body, such as a plane or the hull of a dirigible, is moved through the air (which is viscous), the current on its way past the body rubs against its surface, and creates friction.
