  • In the short work here prefaced, the Author seeks to determine approximately the sustaining power of planes disposed in such manner round the axis of a wheel that, when the wheel is put into rolling motion upon the ground, the increasing velocity of rotation may give air pressure to the planes, to float the weight and propel it on a forward course when floated.

    The manner in which the question is treated will show that the title “Wings for Man” signifies not wings absolute, but wings in the form of a proposition simply.
