Samuel Pierpont Langley Knihy
Samuel Pierpont Langley bol astronóm a fyzik, ktorý sa venoval aj vynálezom a letectvu. Jeho práca v observatóriu Allegheny viedla k rozvoju presného merania času, čo bolo kľúčové pre rozmach železníc. Langley svojimi astronomickými pozorovaniami a vynálezmi, ako bol bolometer, významne prispel k pochopeniu slnečných javov a atmosférických procesov. Jeho vedecké objavy a inovácie ovplyvnili astronómiu aj fyziku.

This groundbreaking research, conducted by aviation pioneer Samuel Pierpont Langley, provides valuable insights into the science of flight. Langley's experiments with gliders, kites, and airfoils paved the way for the development of the modern airplane. This volume, published in 1899, presents Langley's findings in detail, including his experiments with a machine called the 'aerodrome', which was one of the earliest successful attempts at powered flight.
