This book is an engineering treatise on the design and construction of airplanes, its approach is formal and scientific. It covers wing and airframe design, aeroplane's stability and propellers. The last chapter is dedicated to aircraft engines. Numerous formulae and tables. The author makes a point that this branch of engineering is rather new (in 1915) so there are many unknowns and theories may contradict each other nevertheless he provides a sound fundation for those engineers who want to design airplanes.
