Samuel Pierpont Langley Livres
Samuel Pierpont Langley fut un astronome et physicien qui s'intéressa également à l'invention et à l'aviation. Son travail à l'Observatoire Allegheny conduisit au développement d'une mesure précise du temps, essentielle à l'expansion des chemins de fer. Les observations astronomiques et les inventions de Langley, telles que le bolomètre, contribuèrent de manière significative à la compréhension des phénomènes solaires et des processus atmosphériques. Ses découvertes scientifiques et ses innovations influencèrent tant l'astronomie que la physique.

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.
