Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: "The Ladder Kite Invented by Mr. Octave Chanute. The wings are fastened to a central frame made like a pair of "lazy-tongs" so as to produce various transformations and changes in the position and angle of incidence of the wings. This kite flies very steadily, pulls very hard when arranged as shown in this illustration, and very little (while sustaining the same weight) when adjusted so as to resemble a step-ladder. It is the prototype of a gliding-machine recently constructed by Mr. Chanute". Millet, J.B. 1897, "Scientific Kite-Flying", The Century Magazine 54 (1): 66-78. |
