it is possible to obtain those of T, P, and p, thereby possess-ing the data for the calculation of the propeller. CHAPTER VIIITHE GLIDE Let us consider an airplane of weight W, of sustainingsurface A, and of which the diagrams for X, 8 and the totalhead resistance o-, are known. Let us suppose that… … Wcose the airplane is well balanced, it will follow a sloping line ofpath d (Fig. 82), which will make a well-determined angleof incidence i, with the wing; in fact, if this angle shouldvary, some restoring couples (see Chapter II), tending tokeep the machine at incidence i, would be produced. Let…
